What is SUPERVISION?

There are three major roles in supervision:

Formative (client focus):
providing support for your personal and professional development
e.g. reflecting on your understanding of your clients, identifying what is needed and your thinking behind your work and assisting you to understand the impact that you, your values and your responses have on clients.

Normative (practice focus):
ensuring best practice. This includes examining professional, ethical and managerial aspects of your work
e.g. reviewing your case load, assessing if you are working within your professional competencies, supporting your continuous professional development, working with you towards (re) accreditation and registration and helping you to manage and market your practice.

Restorative (supervisee focus):
allowing you space to reflect on and process issues triggered by clients and how to use them for your own and your clients wellbeing
e.g. exploring the difference between an automatic reaction and an empathic response to a client and how your own history plays a role.

What are my Credentials and Experience?

I have been a psychotherapist / counsellor since Jan. 2001 and am supported by my own consultant supervisor. My current focus is on encouraging those less experienced in both their professional and personal development. My past experience in business will be an asset to those wanting to establish their own private practice.

What is my Approach?

I draw on a wide range of humanistic, mindfulness based CBT and psychodynamic theories and approaches. For our work to be effective, I want for you to be honest with me. Because of this, I work actively to offer you a safe space with the person-centred core principles of unconditional positive regard, empathy and congruence. This means that we are collaborators in ensuring that you work in your own unique way and that your clients are best served.

Supervision can be conducted face-to-face OR over Skype OR telephone.

"By three methods we may learn wisdom: First,
by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation,
which is easiest; and third by experience, which is
the bitterest."
Confucius
