Counselling supervision (online only)

Supporting your professional development

As a clinical supervisor, I aim to help you to connect with your passion for work and develop your personal and professional identity, which can often be challenged for those of us in private practice, amidst the many additional responsibilities and pressures of running a business.  

I believe in the value of supervision which, when we might feel stuck, offers space to sit and connect with another, who will gently support and challenge us to grow, bringing new meaning and clarity to our work.  I will facilitate this by drawing upon my own experience, and by the use of collaborative contracting and evaluation methods.  However, it is our relationship that will always supersede technique and, by exploring what emerges in the moment together, we can experience truly transformative conversations.

Supervision can often feel challenging and we can keenly feel the vulnerability of the process.  I bring compassion and humility to the supervisory relationship where we will aim to find the courage together to turn towards those times where we may struggle, with the wisdom and willingness to work to find clarity together. 

I hold a Post Graduate Certificate in Clinical Supervision from The University of Derby and currently work with individuals at my private practice and within organisations offering individual and group supervision. Additionally, I teach the Level 6 Certificate in Therapeutic Counselling Supervision, which I feel keeps my practice tight and contemporary.

I use Hawkins and Shoet’s Seven Eyed Model, which is a relational approach to supervision and can be seen as a hologram in which every moment contains everything that ‘needs to be embodied, felt, and known’.  Supervision allows us to become present to a moment of awareness, allowing us to slow down so that the ‘wound, disturbance or disconnection that seems to be breaking everything and us apart is, instead, the road back home’.

It is important to find a supervisor with whom you feel comfortable and who you feel will be able to support your professional goals. There is the opportunity for us to have a 30 minute ‘discovery’ call, via Zoom, where we can get to know one another a little more and talk through your goals for supervision.
