 "We cannot choose where we start out in life, but we may finish where we will" Tony Judt. 

 

"Isolation exists only in isolation, once shared it evaporates"  Irvin Yalom.

 

“In my early professional years I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?”  Carl Rogers.

Supervision


I offer the following supervision:

1)   Supervision for counsellors and psychotherapists:

I am accredited with the BACP as a supervisor of individual counsellors and psychotherapists and able to provide supervision by phone and on Skype. I have been supervising counsellors and psychotherapists since 1994.  I am interested in the focus of supervision work being on the therapist rather than the client - where they are getting stuck in their work with a client, and in finding creative ways to work through their difficulties.  

I am interested in humanistic supervision, focussing particularly on Gestalt, Formative Psychology, and the Therapeutic Alliance.  

2)  Work supervision:

I  offer work supervision for people who need support with their work outside of the therapy field. This may be in areas such as time management, team skills, making a transition in or out of paid work, developing negotiation skills, work/life balance.  I have run groups and worked with individuals in this field since 1987.

 

 

Please e-mail me if you would like to discuss any type of supervision with me.
