About me and my therapy practice

I completed my accredited supervising training with the British Psychological Society (BPS) with Manchester University in 2021.

My supervision style is based on the Cyclical Model (Page & Wosket 1994), the Process Model (Hawkins & Shohet, 2012) and the “Seven-Eyed Model” (Hawkins & Shohet, 2012).  Flexing between these models provides a strong basis whilst allowing me to work flexibly, adapting to what my supervisee brings or any presenting issues that emerge.  I am flexible in my approach and adapt to meet their needs, being led by the supervisee – as opposed to being restricted by a model

Forming a working alliance is fundamental; one that is built on trust, respect, and the sharing of mutual expectations. The contract forms the basis in which the relationship can grow. My approach to supervision reflects my practice, integrative, humanistic, and relational.  

I have provided clinical supervision to trainee counselling psychologists, counsellors and CFT therapists (Compassion Focused Therapists).  I believe the relationship between supervisee and supervisor is crucial. I do my utmost to ensure my supervisee feels safe and contained in supervision and always treat them with respect and fairly.

Practice description

The core of my practice is support and collaboration, sharing of information and skills and providing a safe environment in which to explore. 

I have a curious approach to my supervisee, encouraging and supporting them to explore all modes within supervision whilst reflecting on all aspects of the model. I provide feedback and support appropriate to the level of the supervisee, whilst attempting to be aware of their training needs. I monitor the counselling work in respect of the welfare of both the supervisee and their clients. I continue to review and develop my skills through training and personal development. This enables me to authentically encourage supervisees to broaden their knowledge and skills in other modalities and consider how these can be integrated into their practice. 

Using the “Seven-Eyed Model” (Hawkins & Shohet, 2012), sessions are influenced by the particular focus of the work at that time. This really enables us to focus on what the supervisee knows about the client, the strategies the supervisee is engaging in and the skills they are using, including any recurring themes in response to these or resistance to. We explore the relationship between the client and supervisee, including what is taking place consciously / unconsciously in the relationship.  This model allows me to be curious with my supervisee and facilitates a greater understanding for us both by supporting the supervisee to take a step back from their perspective to gain greater understanding of the relationship dynamics.
