"Supervision offers the opportunity to acknowledge difficulties and weaknesses and to celebrate and value strengths and achievements," within our counselling work.
Supervision is a place in which you can honestly and openly ask any questions of your counselling practice. Bringing both your client work and yourself into fuller awareness, allowing a deepening understanding to evolve. I offer a relationship where you can become aware of the process taking place with your client. I facilitate the opportunity for yourself to be open to your experience, so that you may become fully present and engaged in the therapeutic relationship with your client, and me.
I offer supervision to both student and experienced counsellors. For those recently qualified, supervision is very helpful in giving life back to aspects of yourself that the training experience may have exhausted. Thereby playing a key role in the professional relationship and self-care that is needed.
"This was enlightening for a person-centred trainee, a model of the person-centred approach in action, not fluffy or passive but seeking the deep (often dark) truth in an emotionally supportive environment."
As a supervisor, the relationship that I offer may be considered a 'supervisee-centred relationship.' It is a collaborative personal enquiry representing a learning experience for both of us.
"It was drawn out by a skilled supervisor who gave me the conditions to grow and learn. I have felt encouraged to be my real self with clients by experiencing it for myself in supervision. I feel that it has led me to develop deeper contact with my clients."
With over 20 years of supervison practice, within a variety a therapeitc settings, I am able to help and support counsellors from a wide range of therapeutic styles and background.
