Clinical Supervision

 

Supervision

Supervision is an integral part of clinical practice. Going beyond case management, the three functions of supervision are: to support the practitioner, ensure ethical good practice, and facilitate ongoing practitioner development. Having regular meetings with a compassionate colleague who is qualified as a therapist but also as a supervisor keeps clinical work on track, keeps us growing and expanding personally and professionally and can positively impact client outcomes, augment a flourishing practice, pre-empt and prevent burnout and build career success.

I hold 2 supervision qualifications (L6 Diploma & L7 equivalent British Psychological Society certificate (2012) plus a refresher in 2023) which enables me to supervise integrative / pluralistic, CBT psychotherapeutic counsellors, practitioner psychologists, hypnotherapists and multi-model mental health practitioners remotely (zoom /phone) and / or in person and offer Supervision of Supervision to Supervisors (Consultative Supervision). I have several years experience as a lead tutor delivering L6 Supervision Diplomas / courses which I have written. Tutor affiliations are: CPCAB, OCN London, NCPS and for the last 2 years I have been a Counselling Research Supervisor.

I offer specialist supervision for:

  • Private Practitioners
  • Counselling Psychologists
  • Supervisors (Supervision of Supervision / Consultative Supervision)
  • Trainee Counsellors & Counselling Psychologists
  • Trainee Supervisors
  • Organisational and group supervision (group supervision, setting up supervision services)

I am one of Surrey University’s centre for wellbeing counselling team clinical supervisors for the last 7 years, and I’m All Ears (counselling & support charity) supervisors as well as supervising those establishing, growing and running their own successful private practices.

Supervision sessions can be arranged at times to suit practitioners and take place fortnightly, weekly or monthky according to situation and need.
