Welcoming experienced and trainee counsellors

Supervision is a supportive relationship that enables you to meet the needs of your clients and supervisees whilst taking good care of yourself and increasing your confidence as a practitioner. You are welcome to contact me between sessions with supervisory related concerns.

I find that supervision is most effective when supervisor and supervisee have a trusting, warm and respectful relationship. This allows you to be self-reflective and to examine your work openly. We work collaboratively to explore anything that might prevent you from being empathic, genuine and non-judgmental. We also discuss counselling theory and how it relates to your practice.

I believe that a practitioner's capacity to be fully engaged and present depends upon their ability to recognise and own their feelings and attitudes toward others. Developing self-awareness involves exploring your emotional responses and reactions during our sessions. Together, we examine how your unique experiences and perspectives might affect your professional practice. Understanding your own processes allows you to respond more authentically.

Whether you are at the beginning of your counselling career or an established practitioner, I hope you will find that the supervision I offer is in tune with your level of understanding and experience whilst facilitating your professional development.
