Clinical supervision

FOR TRAINEE & QUALIFIED THERAPISTS

I am a trained clinical supervisor, qualified to provide professional supervision to trainee psychotherapists and counsellors, as well as already-qualified practitioners.

In the interests of both clients and practitioners, most counselling and psychotherapy professional bodies (including those covering arts-based therapy) require members to incorporate regular supervision into their clinical practice. This is widely considered as an ethical imperative and for both beginners and experienced practitioners.

Supervision is a formal arrangement that allows you to discuss your clinical work with someone who is experienced in both therapy and supervision. My goal as your supervisor is to help you become a more informed and skilled practitioner who feels supported and encouraged as you carry out your important work.

The purpose of clinical supervision is:

to help you develop as a reflective practitioner
to support you as a therapist or clinician
to maximise the effectiveness of your therapeutic relationships
to monitor and safeguard the interests of your clients
to maintain the standards set out in the ethical frameworks of professional bodies such as the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
