I am a qualified and experienced supervisor of counselling practice.  My supervision training was a mixture of Person Centred, Gestalt and Transactional Analysis and I qualified at the Manchester Institute of Psychotherapy. Supervision both giving and receiving is an intellectual and emotional challenge. It provides a space to explore and reflect not just upon the client work or dynamic but to also examine what it challenges you as an individual with, being open to that challenge is where the growth happens.
Learning, changing and growing is essential for our health as human beings, but becomes even more important when we carry the responsibility of working with and influencing often vulnerable others, who may be struggling to function, or relate to significant others in their own lives. As a counsellor I recognise the essential skill of enabling change, of being a catalyst for enquiry and then for change. As a supervisor this works on two levels, in the room with the supervisee and then through their process with their client. This requires even more care and responsibility than the counselling process itself.

I work with the seven–eyed supervision process model, where we focus on the client and what and how they present and on an exploration of the strategies and interventions used by the supervisee, the relationship between the client and the supervisee and also on focusing on the supervisee and on the supervisory relationship itself and finally on my own process as a supervisor and the wider context in which the supervision happens.

I think it is rare to find a supervisor who can challenge and support, but also allow you to be totally honest and vulnerable and who can support you both as a professional and an individual. As a supervisor that is who I would hope to be and it is what I expect from my own supervision.

I am a trained and qualified supervisor and currently supervise qualified and trainee counsellors as well as other mental health professionals. I also facilitate group supervision for groups of counsellors, IDVAs, ISVAs and other allied professionals.

I aim to offer a balance of support and challenge in supervision. A space where you can talk honestly about your work, bring the things you’re unsure about and admit when something hasn’t gone as you’d hoped, without worrying about being judged. I’m there to encourage you to be curious about your work, your decisions and the impact you have on your clients.

My Certificate and Diploma in Supervision focused on Page and Wosket’s Cyclical Model. I like the structure it offers, but I don’t believe supervision should be a rigid, tick-box exercise. We’ll use it to guide our work together while keeping the focus on what you need from each session, whether that’s space to reflect on client work, help with an ethical consideration or time to think about your future development.

Above all, I value an open, honest and trusting relationship. Supervision should leave you feeling supported, but also give you something to think about. My aim is to help you grow in confidence, stay curious about your practice and feel better equipped to do the work you do, particularly when that work feels challenging.

Please text or email me so we can book in a chat to see if together we feel I am the right supervisor for you.
