Fiona Turnbull

I’m based in the Balham, Clapham and Pimlico areas of London and am currently offering fortnightly supervision at a reduced fee. 

I'm in Balham on Mondays, Clapham on Tuesdays and Pimlico on Wednesdays and Thursdays. 

I'm offering low-cost supervision for counsellors and therapists in 2024 whilst I’m working towards UKCP accreditation as a supervisor and participating in the Relational Change Diploma in Supervision. I have one space for fortnightly in-person supervision currently.

My low-cost supervision offer could be a great option if you’re a newly-qualified or early career counsellor or therapist embarking on your practice or a trainee looking for additional support alongside your existing arrangements with a qualified supervisor.

In my work as a supervisor, I bring  warmth, intelligence, commitment and a down-to-earth approach to my work. I build genuine and trusting relationships where supervisees feel safe to explore challenges and struggles. I also believe in affirming supervisees’ strengths and celebrating as they grow in confidence and experience.   

I've run supervision groups with experienced bereavement volunteers in my former role as senior counsellor at Royal Trinity Hospice in Clapham. 

I have a busy and thriving private practice in London and previously worked for four years as a senior counsellor in the Patient and Family Support Team at Royal Trinity Hospice. 

I support clients from diverse backgrounds, all bringing a broad range of life challenges. I have experience working with grief and loss; abuse; anxiety; challenges with self-esteem, self-acceptance and self-compassion; life transitions and questions about life direction; fertility and pregnancy issues; food, eating and body image; relationship difficulties; low mood; and serious illness. That said, I am always focused on clients' unique experience of what they're finding challenging rather than only thinking in terms of issues. 

My background is as a gestalt psychotherapist. I'm registered with BACP and accredited with UKCP. I draw on several other theoretical approaches in my work, especially trauma, attachment and systemic ideas.

When you first enquire about supervision, I'll get back in touch to arrange an initial exploratory call for 20-30 minutes at no charge. This is an opportunity to find out more about my supervision approach and to begin to scope out how we might work together. 

The next step is to arrange a trial supervision session which is charged at my low-cost fee of £30-£40 which we'll negotiate. I'll ask more about your current practice: what's going well, where you'd like to grow and develop, any aspects of the work that are challenging you at the moment and what your hopes are from supervision. We will likely explore an area of client work so you can experience how I practise. 

If you'd like to go ahead and I feel I'm well placed to support you, we'll agree a plan going forward and I'll ask you to complete a supervision agreement. 

My goal above all is to make sure you have the right supervision for you as a practitioner and for your clients and I'm happy to facilitate that decision.
