Claire Ratcliffe

My work as a supervisor is very much informed by Transactional Analysis & Relational Integrative theory.

I supervise Counsellors & Psychotherapists from a wide range of theoretical approaches.

I completed my Supervision training at The Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy in January 2015. I have completed further training in Group Supervision and hold a certificate in LGBTQ+ informed Supervision.

I offer Supervision for both qualified and trainee Counsellors & Psychotherapists. I supervise therapists working with individuals, couples, and groups.

I have extensive experience providing individual and group supervision in a number of different settings, including:

• Supervision for qualified Counsellors and Psychotherapists in private practice.

• Individual Supervision for trainees on a variety of training courses and clinical placements.

• Individual Supervision for practitioners working within the NHS.

• Individual & Group Supervision within Drug & Alcohol Services.

• Group Supervision within Eating Disorder Services.

Supervision is not only for exploring client work but also support for the practitioners well-being.

Areas you may wish to explore:

• Vicarious trauma, burnout & compassion fatigue - including ways to help prevent this.

• Building your therapy practice.

• Imposter syndrome & self doubt. 

I offer individual and group clinical supervision for therapists, providing a supportive and reflective space to explore your client work, develop your practice and think through clinical challenges.

For further information about my supervision, including current fees, group opportunities, availability and to book directly, please visit my website.

I offer Supervision sessions via telephone & online (Zoom).

I offer couples and relationship therapy intensive packages for those who prefer a focused, immersive approach. Full details of these packages are available on my website.

There are many reasons why people choose to come to therapy. For some, it can be a sense of discomfort, an internal struggle, or perhaps an external trigger has pushed you towards seeking support.

Therapy can be an empowering experience, enabling you to reconnect with yourself, to notice & take care of your needs, bringing self awareness, healing & a deeper sense of security.

I work to provide clients with a safe & attuned therapeutic experience. This gives you the space to look at old patterns of behaviour that are no longer serving you, supporting you to make healthier changes, moving you forward into a place of authenticity.

I have been working as a therapist since 2010. My main training & theoretical background is Transactional Analysis & Relational Integrative Psychotherapy.

Couples & Relationship Therapy

I am a qualified Couples Therapist & have been working with couples since 2013. I work with heterosexual relationships & those who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community who are at various stages in their relationship.

Relationship therapy allows you to work through problems in your current relationship, look at how past relationships may be affecting your current one & explore ways of improving & strengthening your relationships in the future.

I believe my primary role is to help you improve your responses to each other without violating your integrity, core values or deeply held principles.

The major aim of relationship therapy is increasing your knowledge about yourself, your partner and the patterns of interaction between you. Therapy becomes effective as you apply new knowledge to break ineffective patterns and develop better ones. 

I also offer a Couple's Therapy Intensive which is a bespoke course, specifically designed for your relationship. This takes place over 1-3 days, depending on which you would prefer.

Please get in touch for further details.
