About me and my therapy practice

I have worked mentoring and supervising people for the past 12 years and qualified this year at CSTD in Bath Somerset. I supervised and mentored students who were studying their degrees and diplomas in both specialised addiction courses and counselling courses. My work with them motivated me to seek my personal training in Supervision.  

Practice description

I use a relational and creative approach to supervision using Hawkins and shoats 7 eyed modal. I find the modal offers a comprehensive framework to work within and keep he worked centred with respecting the therapists Professional and Personal development. The Modal lends itself to ongoing effective supervision within the caring professions and public services.
