Clinical Supervision
A Supportive Space for Reflection, Learning and Professional Growth
Clinical supervision is an important part of professional practice. It provides a confidential and supportive space in which you can reflect on your work, explore challenges, develop your skills and continue to grow both personally and professionally.
I provide supervision for qualified and experienced counsellors and therapists, as well as students undertaking counselling placements as part of their professional training.
I am also able to offer regular supervision to clinicians, practitioners, staff and managers working within social care and related professions.
Supervision can be provided individually or in groups, and I also offer consultancy to organisations looking to support their staff, encourage reflective practice and develop a positive and nurturing professional environment.
My Approach to Supervision
I believe good supervision needs to provide both support and appropriate challenge.
It should be a space where you feel able to speak openly about your work, including those occasions when things have gone well and those times when you may feel uncertain, challenged or simply need an opportunity to think something through.
As supervisor and supervisee, we work collaboratively to develop a relationship in which honest reflection can take place. Together, we can explore your client work, consider different perspectives and use those reflections to support your continued learning and professional development.
Supervision is not about somebody simply telling you what you should have done differently. It is an opportunity to become curious about your work, recognise your strengths and develop greater confidence in your own professional judgement.
My aim is to help you develop your skills while enabling you to bring the best of yourself to your work with clients.
A Collaborative Supervisory Relationship
I see supervision as a professional process in its own right rather than something that needs to be restricted to one particular therapeutic model or way of working.
My role as a supervisor is to facilitate reflection, encourage learning and provide appropriate support and challenge within the context of a strong supervisory relationship.
Your own experience, therapeutic approach, professional responsibilities and stage of development are all important parts of that process.
For students and practitioners working within professional or organisational requirements, supervision can also provide a space to consider ethical practice, professional responsibilities, boundaries and the wider context in which you are working.
Supervision for Organisations
I also provide supervision and consultancy for organisations wishing to strengthen the support available to their staff.
This can be particularly valuable for teams working in emotionally demanding roles, where having a regular opportunity to reflect upon the impact of the work can support both professional practice and staff wellbeing.
Individual arrangements can be developed according to the needs of the organisation, team or service.
