Annika Hayes

I currently have availability for new supervisees. 

I work Mondays and Thursdays, either face-to-face in my therapy room in central Huddersfield or online via Zoom. 

Are you looking for informative counselling supervision, that will help you grow and develop as a practitioner? I aim to meet you where you are as a counsellor, at whatever stage in your counselling career. I believe we are all constantly learning and changing: supervision is a vital part of that growth as a counsellor.

I have a Level 6 qualification in Counselling Supervision and primarily use the 7-Eyed model of supervision. My supervision practice is informed by my person-centred approach.

I have 10 years’ experience as a counsellor in the voluntary sector, schools and in private practice. With my extensive experience of school counselling, I feel I can offer particular insight and support to those working with children and young people.

It is important to recognise the important role supervision plays in our lives as counsellors. As your practice changes and you may need different forms of support, such as supervisory support through the accreditation process. Part of my role as supervisor is to help you to identify areas of growth and development, supporting you to provide the best possible service to your clients. Supervision is a collaborative endeavour, and within the supervisory relationship I aim to be both supportive and challenging, when needed.

In our first session, you will experience a warm, welcoming environment in which you can reflect on your counselling practice. We will explore your supervision needs, your self-care and consider areas of professional development.

I offer face-to-face sessions in central Huddersfield or online sessions using Zoom. 

I offer sessions on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, including  evenings.

Life can be challenging at times. You may be struggling with issues from your past that are having an impact on your life and relationships. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, current work or relationship problems. You may not know exactly what is wrong, but you know that you want things to change for a more positive future.

I can offer a safe and confidential space in which to explore your issues, whatever they are. I work according to the person-centred model of counselling, offering a genuine and congruent space in which we can build a therapeutic relationship.

I believe that each of us is our own expert and sometimes we just need someone alongside to bear witness to our experience, without judgement.

My role is not to give advice or direction, but to offer the time and space for your to safely explore your issues.

I have extensive experience of online counselling. 

Please email, text or phone me to discuss your needs.

In our initial meeting we will discuss what is bringing you to counselling.  In order for you to get the most our of your counselling journey, it is important for you to feel that we are a good "fit".  

It is usual to meet weekly, but I can be flexible.
