Online supervision

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.

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 aim to provide an environment of ‘safe-uncertainty’ where you can feel safe enough to come to supervision and be able to feel uncertain in your practice, without fear of criticism or judgement.

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, and am conducting research for my Doctorate where I am exploring rupture and repair in the supervisory alliance.

I adopt a relational approach to supervision and draw upon the Cyclical Model and the Seven Eyed Model to navigate through our sessions. I also use Appreciative Inquiry as part of my supervision, which offers us a chance to celebrate your practice and draw upon possibility and recognition of your skills.

‘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’. (Shoet)

It is important to find a supervisor with whom you feel comfortable and who you feel will be able to support your practice. 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.
