Thank you for taking an interest in my advert. I will begin with my background so you can decide if I am right for you. Just a few notes - please call me if you need further information. My name is Marie and I am a fully professionally BACP Accredited counsellor in private practice for 17years working with a diverse range of people with varied concerns short term and long term . I am also a supervisor in private practice for the work of other counsellors in many various counselling settings/companies(Mind and Demelzaand Crisis Teams) and competencies. Before private practice I was employed to supervise the work of trainee counsellors and mentors Listening Ear Group and Care Leaver Mentors in a University and worked im many voluntary organisations. I have worked as a tutor on the MSc in Integrative Counselling at The University of Greenwich. Working with diverse people in higher education, in Cruse bereavement agency and employee assistant plans and in private counselling practice I have been enriched by comments that I am easy to talk to. My hope is that you will feel comfortable with me and that together we wIil develop a trusting, confidential and honest relationship. The therapy is chosen by you and tailored to develop a unique space where you can feel confident you are heard. I look forward to meeting you.

I am currently working face to face on the phone and via zoom.

I am an experienced supervisor. I was trained at Cascades Training Associates in 2011. I currently work with Fully trained counsellors in private practice and in Organisational settings ( Mind Demelza and CrisisTeams) plus I also have a caseload of Qualified and student counsellors on placements. Counsellors have found my supervision 'helpful and professional’; I have worked as a Lecturer at the University of Greenwich employed to cover, case discussion groups and experiential groups I have also been involved in ; working in a University Setting supervising staff. The staff work with mature students and my role was to oversee that work. Mentoring and Supervision of; staff was given through group discussion and presentations and one to one monthly supervision. The staff were mainly working with student concerns, complaints, stress and mental health concerns in a Listening Ear role one to one with students; and a Staff Care Leaver support role one to one. I enjoy Supervising Counsellors just as much; I enjoy receiving good Supervision to enrich; educate and mainly to keep my clients safe.

I work in a Holistic way so I am as concerned about Your Clients and your counselling practice their safety as I am about you. It is important to check your self care as a practitioner/counsellor and to be mindful of transference in the work. 

A first session in Supervision is establing the professional boundaries of the case work and the supervision. I would be helpful to build a relationship and ease between us so that we can be transparent in supervision.
