I have a Diploma in Integrative Supervision (The Minster Centre). I provide supervision for student and qualified therapists who work with adults, young people and couples.
As an integrative supervisor, I respect each therapist’s modality. I am able to work with therapists from different training backgrounds including Integrative, Psychodynamic, Person-Centred, CBT, Gestalt, and TA. I aim to create a safe supervisory space so that the therapist feels comfortable sharing all their experiences when working with clients. This emotional safety benefits both therapist and client in receiving the support they need.
Whether you are a student or qualified therapist, I like supervision to be collaborative. I believe “working together” mirrors the therapeutic relationship so you can feel empowered, becoming increasingly confident and competent over time. I will be curious with you so that you can think independently, be reflective, and develop your “internal supervisor”.
Supervision is whatever you need to help your client work and practice. At the start of each session, I check-in with what feels like the priority for support. Whilst a function of supervision is practical/educational (e.g. learning/discussion of interventions), I also believe that exploration of therapeutic processes (including unconscious processes) is enriching. In supervision, I give space to unpack these therapeutic and relational processes to understand what is “really” going on in the work (and within ourselves as therapists!). This understanding can prevent unconscious processes from interfering with the therapeutic relationship. It can also inform appropriate interventions and help the work to become “unstuck”.
The supervisory space is mainly conversational, but I also offer creative mediums to explore therapeutic processes, understand a client’s world, and the therapeutic relationship.
I offer individual and group supervision sessions.
I offer online or face to face sessions.
I also offer supervision to staff from different professions, including schools, family support workers, and voluntary organisations.
