I am a relational, integrative-humanistic therapist and I offer supervision from a framework of the person-centred core conditions of acceptance, respect and genuineness. I work with counsellors who have trained in a variety of different orientations in which I am experienced including: Gestalt, TA and CBT.

 

I work to the BACP defined tasks of supervision i.e. managerial/normative; educational/formative and supportive/restorative

 

Through reflection and exploration of your work with clients, my aim is to help you to:

 

•  understand the client better

•  become more aware of your own reactions and responses to the client

•  understand the dynamics of how you and your client are interacting

•  look at how you have intervened and the results of your interventions

•  explore other ways of working with this and other similar client situations

•  develop your own potential and personal style

 

In my own counselling practice, I have been fortunate to work with supervisors who have made it safe to share any concerns I may have had with my client work. I know from this personal experience how important it is to have this safe space. I aim to build a positive, collaborative working relationship so you feel able to bring everything you need to supervision to get the support and guidance you want.
