Clinical Supervision

 

I offer clinical supervision to qualified and trainee counsellors and therapists, both in person in Stockton-on-Tees and online.

For me, good supervision is much more than discussing client work. It should be a space where you can think openly, reflect on your practice, explore what may be happening within the therapeutic relationship and continue developing confidence in yourself as a practitioner.

Supervision also gives us space to think together about risk, safeguarding, ethical practice and professional responsibilities, while keeping the wellbeing of both client and therapist in mind.
 

My Approach to Supervision

I have been providing clinical supervision since 2011. I am an accredited counsellor and therapist, with an integrative core training, and I also hold a Person-Centred Diploma in Supervision.
My approach is supportive, collaborative and, when needed, appropriately challenging. I want supervisees to feel able to be honest when something hasn't gone to plan, when they feel stuck, or when client work has affected them personally. We don't learn by pretending we always get everything right.

Alongside supporting your development and confidence as a practitioner, supervision has an important role in maintaining safe and ethical practice and protecting the wellbeing of the clients we work with.
I bring particular experience in trauma and attachment and enjoy helping supervisees look beyond what may be happening on the surface to think about the wider therapeutic process and relationship.​​

​

Who I Supervise

I provide individual clinical supervision to qualified and trainee counsellors and therapists, as well as supervision to groups within organisations where appropriate.
Supervision can take place face-to-face at my practice in Stockton-on-Tees or online, making it accessible to practitioners based elsewhere in the UK.

 

Consultancy

 

I can also provide professional consultation to organisations and other professionals who would benefit from additional therapeutic thinking around a particular situation or piece of work.

I have previous experience providing consultancy to local authorities, schools and other agencies, particularly where trauma, attachment and complex relational needs are involved.

Please get in touch if you would like to discuss whether consultation may be appropriate for your organisation or situation
