Ellen Bell

I'm available for supervision between Tuesday and Thursday during working hours or early evening.

I'm an integrative counsellor and have worked in the field for over 20 years. I trained as a supervisor with Place2be and use the Proctor model of supervision.

Most of my counselling work has been in schools and agency settings so I've worked with people of all ages from primary school to a clients in a Women's Centre. I have lots of experience of counselling children and young people so especially keen to supervise counsellors working in schools or youth settings.

In my work in schools I specialised in seeing neurodivergent children so I am able to support counsellors with clients who are autistic or have ADHD.

My approach to supervision is to work with you as a colleague: to help you to look after yourself, to look after your clients, and to develop your own career and professional experience in a way that works for you. Supervision is a partnership and I'm here to help you get the best out of yourself and fulfil your potential as a counsellor while also looking out for your wellbeing. I know that being a counsellor is demanding and can be difficult sometimes, so my role is to help guide you through that and to deal with difficult situations with care.

I work remotely so we'd be meeting online.

I'm also trained in using mindfulness techniques and I use them personally, in my counselling practice and with supervisees.

I offer a free 15-minute call for a potential supervisee for us to find out if I'm the right person for you and can provide what you need. If you decide to go ahead, I'll then send you a contract for our future supervision work together.
