Supervision

My philosophy of supervision is rooted in Person Centred theory, as with my psychotherapy practice, I take a humanistic approach and offer supervision to counsellors and trainees from other modalities.  I see my role as a facilitator to the supervisee’s development, to help them grow their understanding of self and the therapeutic process, to build self-awareness and self-confidence.

I offer a safe, empathic, non-judgemental, caring space, to allow the supervisee to express all their emotions and vulnerabilities whilst empowering them to be restorative, resilient and optimistic.

I use the Seven Eyed Model offered by Hawkins and Shohet (2006) to add structure to my practice, to explore session content, interventions, therapeutic process alongside how the supervisee experienced the therapeutic session and our discussions within supervision. The BACP ethical framework informs my supervision practice especially the core principle of non-maleficence, which underpins my ethical decision making.

I hold a diploma in supervision from Northside Training, a robust training course facilitated by Ronen Stilman and Bev Gibbons.
