About me and my therapy practice

How I work

My core modality in counselling is as a person-centred psychotherapist. My training in Supervision was through the Macclesfield Counselling and Training Centre where I studied and have since practiced Hawkins and Shohets 7 Eyed Model of Supervision. This model lends itself to supervise those who practice Person Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy and those who do not.

Who I work With

I work with qualified counsellors and psychotherapists as well as those professionals working in other helping professions. My style is supportive, collaborative, but also appropriately challenging.

Why Supervision

Supervision is a key element in supporting ethical practice. It is a place to look at the therapeutic work objectively to examine relationship dynamics and unearth blocks to successful outcomes. Clients' are always at the centre of the work.

I attend regular individual supervision as well as peer supervision. Both experiences bring learning opportunities to me in my practice which ultimately benefit my clients.

As a supervisor, I recognise the roles we both have in safeguarding, ethical practice, and client progress.

Your client and their wellbeing will always be at the heart of the work of supervision.

Practice description

Supervision Model

I gained my Certificate in Supervision through Macclesfield Counselling & I gained my Certificate in Supervision through Macclesfield Counselling & Training Centre in July 2022. I offer Hawkins & Shohet’s 7-eyed model of supervision. This is both a relational and systemic model of supervision. The relationships between client, therapist, and supervisor are explored in relation to the context and interplay of each of those relationships.

Clients’ and their wellbeing are always at the centre of supervision work. Supervision is about the therapist’s professional development and is a place of reflection where it is safe to be open and honest about the work.

Blackburn Location

My Blackburn Therapy space is located on Preston Old Road, two minutes’ walk from Cherry Tree Train Station, and right by the Preston – Blackburn bus route.

My room is located on the first floor of a set of offices, benefits from natural light. Clients need to be able to use the stairs as there is no lift.

Other Locations

I also offer in-person Supervision from my therapy room in Manchester, please see my Manchester Supervisor profile.

Alternatively, if you do not want to travel or if time is limited for you, I also offer Supervision via video call (Zoom or Teams).

My first session

The First Time We Meet

Before commencing a supervision relationship, I offer a complimentary appointment via video call or in-person. This gives an opportunity for us to find out a bit more about each other and an opportunity to decide if we can work together well.

I will explain my admin processes as this is all part of our relationship as Supervisor and Supervisee.

It is important for us both to know we can work together.
