Supervision
I offer Supervision for Counsellors, Psychotherapists, Supervisors and other professionals that work with people who experience a variety of emotional distress.
I provide a supportive, respectful, and safe space for professionals and trainees to review their work. I work from an integrative perspective, focussing on the exploration of thoughts, feelings, theoretical ideas, body sensations and behaviours, to support therapists in developing a better understanding of how to support clients/ patients in an ethical, meaningful, and creative way. In this supervisory relationship, I offer space to explore the impact the work has not only on clients but also on therapists, providing space to reflect, review and replenish.
I strive to provide a dynamic and creative space, where any aspects of the work can be reviewed, processed and reflected on in a spirit of curiosity, learning, self-acceptance and development and with the client/ patients at heart.
Experience
I have a Diploma in Clinical Supervision, and I am a committee member of the Yorkshire Supervisors Forum. I have many years of experience supervising individuals, groups and trainee counsellors and psychotherapists, body therapists, massage therapists, art therapists and teachers who work with adults.
I have experience supervising therapists who work with clients with a variety of life challenges such as anxiety, difficulties coping with day-to-day life, relationship challenges, bereavement, work difficulties, cultural issues, past and recent trauma including sexual abuse and domestic violence.
My specialism is in working with trauma, including complex trauma. I have been supporting therapists who work with trauma: including sexual violence, domestic violence, trafficking, torture and long-term exploitations. I support therapists to navigate the demands of legal issues such as Pre-trial therapy, safeguarding and personal need for autonomy and self-governance.
My previous experience as Senior Counsellor, offers me an insight into the challenges that therapist experience while needing to take into consideration, often different and conflicting needs and values of the organisation that they work for, their ethical body and the needs of the client/ patient. I will always strive to offer you a space to reflect on these challenges and conflicts, to enable you to find solutions and decisions that sit at the heart of your work and client’s needs.
