Uma Mays

I am a qualified counsellor/psychotherapist and an accredited member of the BACP. I trained as a psychodynamic counsellor which means we will look at your past experiences and how these are impacting your day to day life. I listen to how you feel and together we explore what's holding you back or causing you pain.

I believe the counselling relationship is very special. It provides a space that's yours where you can explore and express your inner thoughts and feelings in confidence and safety. It's a place you can obtain a different perspective and increase your self-awareness. 

I am a psychodynamically trained counsellor / psychotherapist and I have a Diploma in Supervision. I have been supervising counsellors from various modalities and with all supervises we will discuss and agree how we will work so in order to adapt my supervision style to suit the supervise.

My philosophy as a supervisor is to engage passionately with supervises by being emotionally and psychologically present and to provide a learning and containing environment to facilitate a relationship which is creative, exploratory, engaging and to help build bridges between theory and practice.

My Fees are £60 for 50-minute sessions and £100 for 90-minute sessions

Please contact me to discuss your supervision requirements.

I use the Seven-Eyed supervision model by Shohet & Hawkins because as a psychodynamic therapist I feel the model is heavily focused on the psychoanalytic understanding of unconscious processes and the relational nature looks closely at what's happening in the supervisory relationship and the therapeutic relationship, as well as the wider systemic contexts of the client, supervise and supervisor.

In our first session we will discuss and agree a contract which will set out the way we will work in our sessions.
