My first session always ends with by myself and the client having a good understanding of their requirements, and a collaborative plan is establish goals for future appointments. Emphasis is placed on it being the clients decision to determine the frequency and length of their therapy.

I have acted as a  Supervisor for 7 years.

I believe the principals of Supervision are a systematic guidance of the therapist by the supervisor. The supervision relationship is very similar to the therapeutic relationship between client  and therapist. I provide security, acceptance and appreciation so allowing the professional growth of the supervisee. I support the supervisee's needs so allowing self reflection and development.

Completion of supervisor reports and the CTS-R are all part of my supervisory practice.

I work from a purpose build therapy room in a tranquil setting with a private car park. 

A risk assessment has been carried in accordance with the government guidelines for COVD 19.

My first session focuses on the needs of my client and a collaborative approach is taken to ensure that both myself as the therapist and my client have total understanding of each other requirements. I ensure that at the end of the first session any client is empowered to make their own decision as to where they wish to work with me.
