Trainee supervisor looking for supervisees!!! 

Currently focused working online with limited F2F availability  on a Saturday morning.

I am relaxed, supportive, think outside the box, intuitive, experienced and all about confidence building and empowerment. 

As I am in training I am hoping to find patience and understanding as we learn together about the supervisor / supervisee training. 

Currently online is where I'm at with new F2F premises loading... 

Based In Halifax, West Yorkshire I am willing to travel for home visits, Saturday mornings in my current short term therapy rooms or online. Whatever works between us as life happens and we need to be flexible and adapt. 

I'll guide you through your practice and support your development as a counsellor. I am Person Centered fundamentally (A fantastic foundation) but use integrative practices to suit the client as individual. I have a wealth of knowledge, experience and resources that I am willing to share. 

Please contact me to discuss further. 

I work with individuals, companies, local authorities and schools to provide online sessions.

All sessions are online at the moment, I do not offer telephone counselling at the moment:

I am Yorkshire born & bred from a working class background, no clinical or fluffy stuff just real down to earth conversations that hopefully help you to find you.

Conversation, laughter, swearing and maybe some random resources if we feel they fit are what I'm about. Easy, relaxed and real. I can offer walk talk sessions if you prefer to not work face to face in a therapy room or online. 

Within organisations I work in a way that fits the client. The person sat with me at the time of the session is my focus and what matters. 

As I work within businesses and schools, staff are often concerned about the confidentiality of the sessions, I do not share the content of the sessions (unless there is a safeguarding concern or anything relating to the clauses set out in the counselling agreement); however if there is a general theme recurring I may share this with management but all staff remain anonymous. 

Management are usually forgiving and allow staff to take up to 2 hours fortnightly for the sessions, as although sessions themselves are either 30 or 50mins in length, sometimes staff need some time afterwards to compose themselves or simply take a time out. 

The longer I am based within a company or school the more I feel a shift in the culture of visiting me as 'staff support'. The stigma around having a hard time and needing to 'cover it up' becomes lessened and staff begin to feel comfortable visiting the 'professional listener'. 

Please contact me for more information to see how we can make this work for your staff. 

I have a Diploma in Therapeutic counselling along with a Mental Health first aid certificate. I have just completed adult and child safeguarding Level 3 a course hat allows me to work online and a teaching qualification to support my workshop delivery.

I have experience of counselling within Women Centre Calderdale and at a Health Centre working alongside Gps.

I currently work with schools and businesses across Calderdale, Kirkless and Bradford, supporting staff.

Our first session is technically known as an initial consultation.

After your first contact I offer you my availability for a brief 15-20min telephone call. 

We discuss a brief overview of what has brought you to this point, availability & fees. If we agree to work with each other I'll email our counselling agreement that I'd ask you to sign and return.

We then put a date in the diary for our first session and we start exploring your world.
