I am a Qualified Supervisor offering supervision to Counsellors and other professionals who want consultation and support related to their working life.
I offer supervision at £45 per hour, £60 for 1.5 hours £30-£40 per hour negotiable for students.
Supervision is essential to effective and ethical counselling practice, offering a space to reflect, explore and support, creating ways forward for both therapists and their clients.
Good self-care and self-awareness are central to what we as counsellors provide, and supervision is a mainstay of good self-care.It has a vital role to play in offering space to realize the potential for working in ways which are authentic for each of us.
Supervision involves
developing confidence and identifying personal reactions which could get in the way of therapeutic work
safeguarding the interests of clients by providing a further avenue for accountability
providing space for new perspectives and insights which help reduce blind spots
considering and balancing the tensions arising from competing interests, e.g. clients, employers, regulators and organizations who fund our work
challenging, developing, improving and potentially changing our ways of working
sharing responsibility for this complex work and the difficult decisions which can sometimes arise
