About me and my therapy practice

Supervision Profile I am BACP registered and accredited and hold honours degrees in both counselling and in education (both 2:1 degrees). I am co founder of Counselling World, an accredited counselling training organisation.  I have taught for over 25 years and have been in management in this field. I have a Diploma in Counselling Supervision.

My approach to supervision is one of equal, shared cooperation, looking together at the best ways of helping clients move forward, ethically. I aim to provide a safe space for reflection and challenge. I see feedback as a 2-way process - me providing feedback to you on your work with clients and you providing feedback to me on the helpfulness of my supervision style. I aim to support you in developing your unique counselling style. I am experienced in couple therapy and outdoor therapy. I hold a L5 certificate in counselling children and young people. I am trained in working with spirituality in the counselling room. My training and experience has also covered online (Zoom, email, text) and telephone counselling.

I am also a counselling trainer and a founding partner of Counselling World (www.counsellingworld.org) and offer CPD courses which you may be interested in.

I am a qualified spiritual director and also offer supervision in this field. See more at herewearetogether.org.

Practice description

I enjoy working creatively with supervisees, thinking outside the box to explore counselling relationships. The supervisory relationship is also important to me and I aim to share a safe space where you can off-load and think about self-care to prevent burn-out.

We can explore together how you and your clients are relating. Is there any transference? How do you think your client sees you? How do you see them? When appropriate we can unpick which issues belong to yourself and which to your client, looking at issues of difference and sameness.

Supervision is a space to also conceptualise client work through the lens of the theories which you follow, so gaining further understanding of the possible journey ahead. We can try out interventions in our session, which you might then want to take into your client work.

Ethical dilemmas are often brought to supervision. We can look at these together in the light of the ethical framework which you adhere to.
