Supervision
Supervision
I completed my Certificate in Supervision in 2010 with the Centre for Supervision & Team Development (now CSTD London and CSTD Bath).
I offer regular monthly individual supervision to qualified and trainee counsellors and psychotherapists. I also provide reflective supervision to a wide range of other professionals. Past supervisees have included social workers, psychologists, mental health nurses, managers of small/ medium size organisations.
I keep brief notes of supervision sessions. GDPR requirements apply.
I think the aim of supervision is to provide supervisees with a supportive space within which to explore their practice. Supervisees may need to meet professional body requirements (e.g. UKCP, BACP, NCPS) and the focus of supervision reflects the role of the supervisee. For example, a counsellor or psychotherapist might want to discuss work with clients, the impact of their work for them, their self-care and/or continuing professional development. Whilst a manager in a small to medium sized charity might want to explore their work with colleagues to support the delivery of high-quality services.
At the heart of supervision is the relationship between supervisee and supervisor. Effective supervision supports professional and personal development. It offers opportunities to explore practice safely, consider ethical issues, enhance skills and think about self care. As an independent supervisor, I am not responsible for the supervisee’s job performance, the number or types of cases accepted and/or assigned to the supervisee or any other aspects of their practice or (where applicable) training requirements. I hope that I can provide a supportive relationship which offers opportunities for learning, growth and, where appropriate, problem solving.
Supervision Fees
I offer regular monthly supervision via Zoom for 60 or 90 minutes per month.
Hourly Rate £70 (£105 for 90 minutes).
Concessions are available for charities and for trainee counsellors and psychotherapists. Please contact me if you would like to discuss cost.
In addition to ongoing supervision, I provide one-off supervision sessions. These are ideal for psychotherapists, counsellors, and other professionals working with adults who would like to discuss a specific client or issue.
Examples of one-off topics
- Managers of small to medium organisations (e.g. charities) working with challenging inter-personal dynamics or organisational blocks.
- Work with people who have experienced sexual violence.
- People in early recovery (adapting) following addiction to drugs and/or alcohol.
- Those experiencing complex grief.
