The purpose of supervision is for the practitioner to receive positive support by reviewing their clinical work and professional development. As the supervisor, I assist the practitioner to identify difficulties in their work, help to resolve problems that occur in the work environment, encourage professional development and identify where personal issues may impact on client work.

Being supervisor means that I am an experienced clinical practitioner who provides supervision on the clinical work of the supervisee, as opposed to the organisational supervision provided by a line manager. Where the supervisee is in private practice, I am also able to assist with matters of business.

I ensure that the practitioner has, through monthly appointments, a regular opportunity to reflect on their work, broaden their choices of intervention and strategies, to gain greater insight into their client work and discuss how their work impacts on them.

I provide a safe place to discuss professional codes and ethics in relation to the work with the client while keeping the organisational (workplace and BACP or others) guidelines and expectations in mind.

Confidentiality of the supervision is provided on the same basis as in client practice – the content remains confidential on a need to know basis as stated in our contract with one another and, if the supervisee has one, their employer.

My preferred way of working is eclectic as my work is always tailored to fit the client. My qualifications are in Humanistic Counselling, TA Psychotherapy, Existentialism and Supervision. Additional training : Working with Experiences of Sexual Abuse, Working with Clients Presenting Sexual Issues, Working with Aspergers Syndrome.

I also have extensive experience in working with clients with personality disorders, trans-gender issues, sex addictions, group work in mental health settings and many other areas.

If you wish to enquire about any further types of work I have experience of, please don’t hesitate to enquire – email and texts are always replied to.
