Supervision for counsellors/psychotherapists and professionals in related fields

About me and how I work

I have worked as a supervisor for 10 years. I offer supervision to counsellors and psychotherapists, and to other helping professionals such as psychologists, coaches, nurses and NHS managers. The latter - working with managers - relates to my PhD in gender and intersectionality in healthcare leadership. Supervision with me often addresses the interface of the professional and personal. Conversations may be about confidence; decision-making; leadership; communication and interpersonal difficulties; progression; and/or discrimination, for example.

I'm interested in developing a collegial relationship with supervisees in which difficulties and triumphs may be freely discussed and learnt from.

Here is a copy of the Agreement that I tend to discuss with supervisees in a first session. It is information about how I work, including practicalities as well as my policy on upholding confidentiality, data protection and ethics.

Online sessions

I connect with supervisees online via Zoom.

Trainee therapists (supervisees)

I have some years of experience as a trainer on a Counselling BA/Diploma at the Metanoia Institute (Middlesex University) in London. I'm familiar with some of the hurdles of being a trainee, and the work involved. And, of course, the experience of this is different for everyone.

Fees

Per session I tend to charge £85. Let's discuss if my full fee is not affordable - I have some concessionary places.

Frequency and number of sessions

Many opt for fortnightly sessions. If we are not working on an ongoing basis I prefer to decide together the number of sessions.

Feeling comfortable

I encourage you to 'shop around' to find the right supervisor for you. I believe, and evidence suggests, that the relationship between you and your supervisor is the most important factor in meeting your aims.

Availability

I'm available Mondays to Thursdays, 9am to 8pm.
