“In brief, supervision entails several elements: developing the supervisee’s professional skills, supervisee gaining in self-awareness, protecting the client, and mentoring and evaluating the supervisee’s services to clients. These elements are fostered within a learning alliance between supervisor and supervisee[.]”
― Augustine Meier, Practical Clinical Supervision for Psychotherapists: A Self and Relational Approach

What is Supervision?

I specialise in using an integrative approach to supervision, this allows me to be flexible and offer the best of me to my clients and also encourages them to be flexible.

I work with a wide range of modalities, and in my own personal practice I find that having a supervisor of a different modality not only challenges my way of thinking, but also encourages me to learn.

Though supervision is not counselling is it similar, in how it encourages  a collaborative relationship between counsellor and client. I enjoy and encourage my supervisees to lead the session, and bring not only clients but themselves to the sessions.  The supervisee is as important as the client is, and its important to explore (when appropriate) what is going on with the.

I believe in congruence and positive supervision, we rarely give ourselves credit for good work.  Self confidence improves when we are given positive feedback and that is then reflected with client work. 

I work with trauma and so an not afraid to support people who are in that setting.  One of the reasons I wanted to be a supervisor was the lack of people who were trauma and bereavement trained,  I felt that I needed a supervisor who I could trust would be able to sit with me with different and traumatic work.

I work with individuals and groups.

Supervision time is dependant on the governing body of the therapist.  I would recommend an hour and half a month, but other bodies have different guidelines.
