About me and my therapy practice

Supervision is a meeting of two colleagues so the relationship between us is of paramount importance. Whether you are a trainee in your first placement or have been counselling for many years we each bring valuable training and experience to every session. The emphasis is on working together with the issues brought to each session. The client is held at the centre of this process.   Working from an integrative transpersonal perspective I am able to draw upon a wide range of theories to shed light upon dilemmas, using creative techniques as indicated.

Practice description

I have been supervising individuals and groups for over 20 years and am on the UKCP's register of supervisors.  Working mainly in private practice my experience also includes several years working in BACP’s accreditation department  and on Accreditation Appeals l giving me an overview of good practice for counsellors, courses and placements. I bring to the work an in-depth knowledge of the Ethical Framework based on working with the ethical dilemmas that arise in practice. I externally moderate a counselling training course in Sussex.

My first session

The initial session is a meeting to agree the boundaries of the supervisory relationship and our expectations of each other.  The session will be used to work with some client material so you can get as sense of the way we might work together.   It also includes contracting the practical arrangements including contact between sessions, any reporting arrangements, cancellations, fees, etc.
