Clinical Supervision for Counsellors

My Supervision Style ​​

 

My supervisory work is shaped by a deep appreciation of the complexity involved in holding others’ lives at vulnerable and painful moments. This informs a reflective approach, with careful attention to responsibility, ethical practice, and the wellbeing of both you and your clients.

​

I aim to create a safe and non-judgemental space where you feel secure enough to explore your edges and think constructively about your work—including moments when you might say, “I’ve made a mis-step and want to talk it through,” or “I’m not sure how to move forward.” 

​

I work in a warm and honest way, combining respectful challenge with thoughtful exploration, so we can collaborate as a team to deepen reflection, build self-awareness, strengthen professional identity, and support clarity in therapeutic decision-making.​​​​​

Approach to Supervision ​​​​

​

My approach draws on two well-established supervision models: Hawkins’ Seven-Eyed Model and Proctor’s Three-Function Model. Together, I find these frameworks offer clear structure and depth, forming a flexible and comprehensive foundation that adapts to evolving needs while upholding ethical and professional standards. 

​

Sessions may be structured or fluid, depending on your learning style, stage of development, and current needs as a counsellor. During sessions, I offer:

​​​

• Reflective & Clinical Support: Exploring client work, therapeutic relationships, and presenting issues

​

• Skill Development: Building clinical skills, techniques, and professional confidence

​

• Ethical Oversight & Accountability: Ensuring practice meets ethical and professional standards

​

• Client Welfare: Prioritising safety and wellbeing through competent, ethical practice

​

• Emotional Support: Space to process the emotional impact of the work, manage stress, and prevent burnout

​

• Professional Development: Reflective practice, career development, and continuing professional growth

​

• Practical & Administrative Support: Assistance with organisation, case management, and aspects of private practice​

​

• ​One-Off Sessions for Counsellors Starting Private Practice: Offering guidance on legal requirements, practical setup, marketing strategies, and administrative systems​

Clinical Background​​​​​​​

 

I hold an NCPS Diploma in Supervision.​ I started my counselling career within the NHS before establishing a thriving private practice, which has broadened my understanding of diverse client experiences and therapeutic approaches. I continue to pursue ongoing CPD, ensuring my supervision and counselling remain current, reflective, and effective.
