Julie Barker

Currently not accepting new supervisees . 

Only available for qualified practioners .

I am an experienced supervisor offering  a mutual and supportive space for supervision . My aim is to support you in all aspects of your practise and to offer you a mutual relationship where we work together to promote your individuality as a safe practioner.  I  have lengthy  experience of working with young people as a school counsellor ,working within a charitable organisation , being an EAP practioner and also working previously as a trainer in higher education . My fees are £30 for the first hour and £20 for each thirty mins after .The usual 90 min supervision session therefore is £50 . Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you wish to discuss any aspect of my approach to help you reach the best choice of supervisor for you . 

I offer  flexible appointments with daytime and evening availability .I cannot offer weekend appointments .

If you are looking for helpful ,professional support through difficult times ,for example bereavement, relationship issues , challenges within your personal or professional life ,changing circumstances ,I may be the person to help and support you . 

 I am an Accredited ,experienced person-centered counsellor offering private practice in a quiet location ,close to motorway networks.  Easy parking and an initial free consultation if requested.

As a counsellor, with over 18 years experience in client work I am able to offer short or long term therapy. I am there to work alongside you ,bringing my expertise and understanding ,not only in times of distress but also in the search for balance and healing . I will offer a safe space where you will be supported in your exploration of concerns or issues .

I am experienced in EAP work ,exploring issues linked to employment and well being at work .I work as a schools counsellor with young people [11-16] and have considerable experience with  bereavement and loss, life changes , relationships and supporting individuals in making complex decisions and choices .

I work in a private space at ground floor level .There is space for parking ,however I am unable to offer a waiting area before your appointment time . 

If you prefer an initial meeting then we will arrange to meet for 30 minutes to have opportunity to talk through your expectations from our work together and ask any questions that may help you decide if I am the right counsellor for you .This is not a therapeutic session but has the benefit of us making an informed choice about potentially embarking on therapeutic work . If you wish to book a session straightaway that is absolutely fine  and then we will meet for 1 hour .

There will be some paperwork for us to look at and some information to pass to you  around contracting ,appointment booking and payment preferences .
