Supervision
I have a Post Graduate Diploma in Person-Centred Supervision and am a BACP Senior Accredited Supervisor/ Specialist Supervisor.
My experience includes supervising counsellors and professionals working at organisations such as Broadreach and The Zone, Haye Mill, Counsellors Southwest, Kooth, Plymouth Marjon University, Derriford Hospital Occupational Health, The Margaret Jackson Centre. I also supervise counsellors/psychotherapists working in private practice.
Not only do I supervise counsellors and psychotherapists, but I also supervise other professionals such as health workers, social workers, mental health occupational therapists, specialist mentors in higher education and addiction support workers.
I see my task as providing you with a relationship in which:
- You are free to explore your practice and discover what you want to learn from it.
- You feel safe enough to talk about practice which you feel has not gone well as well as practice that feels to have been
- good.
- You can explore and experience your personal self, alongside the development of your professional self (and any
- tensions you may experience between the two).
- You experience my empathy, unconditional positive regard and congruence.
- I offer my knowledge and expertise
- You feel supported with ethical and legal tensions that arise within your work.
As a Person-Centred supervisor, my focus is on you as a person. We will look together at your processes, meaning making and experiences.
I aim to accompany you while you explore your work in an environment of trust, confidentiality, safety and good humour. I believe professional growth, confidence and joy can be fostered from being fully encountered by a supervisor with whom you relate profoundly.
I offer the core conditions of empathy, unconditional positive regard and congruence, whilst also offering my practice wisdom, including expertise knowledge accumulated from twenty-five years of experience and training
“Wisdom in Greek was Sophia, as in our word “philosophy”, love of wisdom. Sophia had a most practical meaning, referring originally to the crafts of handling things, especially to the helmsman who steers the boat. The wise one steers well; the wisdom of the helmsman shows in the art of making minor adjustments in accord with accidents of water, wind and weight.”
