Supervision for Counsellors & Psychotherapists

Service Overview

Whether you’re a trainee Counsellor on placement or a qualified practitioner working in an agency or private practice setting, I offer a supportive and nurturing supervision experience using an integrative approach.

SUPERVISION EXPERIENCE AND BACKGROUND

I currently serve as a group and individual supervisor for a youth counselling agency in Basingstoke alongside working with supervisees in a private practice setting. My clinical experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist in a number of settings including voluntary sector agencies, NHS IAPT services and private practice have led me to gain experience in supervising both short-term, goal focussed work (often used with younger clients and in agency settings) and long-term relational psychotherapy (particularly where there is a focus upon trauma and attachment-related issues) that I more frequently work within private practice. My work as a college lecturer in counselling and in agency settings means that I regularly supervise student/trainee counsellors in conjunction with providing specialist adoption and relational trauma-focused supervision to qualified practitioners in private practice. My supervision style reflects an integrative philosophy and is based upon the Hawkins and Sohet seven-eyed model of supervision.
