Jane Ivall

I believe in working relationally and in creating a safe place for you therapy .I have also been trained to work with clients who have experienced trauma in their lives.  I will support you to increase your personal stability and felt sense of safety so that you can explore whatever it is you wish to look at together.

I am happy to give a short free consultation so that we can decide if we would like to work together and what it is you may want to  focus on.

My clinical practice is humanistic and relational with an attachment focus. I work creatively and have additional training in working with children and young people, couples counselling, trauma and somatic trauma work.  

Working as I often do with trauma, the concept of providing a safe co-created space where a supervisee can “divest, explore, learn and restore” (Rogers, 1951) whilst developing self-awareness and internal process seems paramount to the way I prefer to work . 

Whilst I hold person centred values at the core of my supervision practice and stay congruent with the philosophy, I am able to draw on aspects of other models to support supervision. I value a collaborative approach to supervision that offers safe and constructive challenge and  opportunities to explore both the work, and the therapist within that work. 

I offer a hybrid supervision model ,humanistically and relationally grounded, using aspects of Hawkins and Shohets  7-eyed model and Inskipp and Proctors functional supervision model. This provides a simple relational focus that is based on a collaborative working alliance between supervisee and supervisor which I strive for and which sits alongside my belief in authenticity, respect and empathy in any working relationship. I  recognise the value of  a shared learning relationship.  I firmly believe we can learn so much from what the other person brings to any situation and that only by creating a safe space can we truly benefit form this opportunity.
