Maria McQuaid

My therapeutic approach integrates both psychodynamic and person centred theories. My aim is to focus upon how your past life experience impacts your present, together with improving your understanding of your present life challenges.

I offer a confidential, non-judgemental, empathic space where you may pause to think about and explore your current struggles within your daily life.

The first session offers an opportunity to assess the possibility for us to work together with a focus upon supporting your needs.

I offer supervision to qualified and trainee therapists, and those working in the caring professions.

I have an MA in supervision and I aim to offer you a confidential, collaborative, and creative reflective space where you may discuss and think about your casework without judgement. I will be mindful of the impact of client material on yourself, including maintaining an awareness on the quantity and quality of your client caseload and to ensure you continue to work safely, ethically and effectively.

I aim to support your continued professional development including further training and career opportunities you may be considering and wish to discuss.

We will review our supervisory relationship periodically, so that we have an opportunity to express any concerns or issues we may wish to raise, which may be impacting on our work together.

My theoretical approach is Psychodynamic and Person Centred. I integrate Shohet and Hawkins' Seven-Eyed Supervisor model into my supervision practice.

The first session offers an opportunity for us to explore the possibility of establishing a supervisory relationship which will be beneficial to you and your clients.
