My philosophy is there is no right or wrong, good or bad way to counsel clients there is ethical & unethical, lawful and unlawful, healthy and unhealthy ways.

 

As you can see from the above statement I believe the pendulum can and does osculate between extremes and to be a robust counsellor we need to slow the osculation and find the middle ground.  That is work, rest, play, sit and deliver from a balanced, consistent and competent  position; within a self belief as a counselling practitioner.  

​

I offer a compassionate and caring space to review, critically evaluate and reflect upon all dimensions of your work; your professional development and to ensure you are not left to carry client issues alone.

 

Clinical Supervision is essential for effective, safe and ethical counselling practice, it is a working alliance which focuses upon the practitioners  counselling work. It exists to  protect clients and for the practitioner to share their work enabling transparency, gaining a new or different perspective. It is also a space for development,  understanding ethical decision making, working through ethical dilemmas and support. 

 

The way I work - Working creatively within the Process Model of the 7 eyed model; of Shohet and Hawkins. Integrated with aspects of the Developmental Model of Cal D. Stoltenberg, Ph.D.; who offer structured stages in which to understand the different stages we as supervisee process through in becoming all that we can become.

​

An experienced supporter of students, volunteers and professional colleagues in supervision since 2005.  My strength is understanding theory and how it relates to and plays out within relationships; theory is the underpinning of all counselling work adding structure, direction and motivation.

 

Supporting colleagues  working with  a myriad of client issues from effects of trauma, abuse, loss following death, loss of identity and a sense of  self and loss through ill health.  Supporting practitioners working with clients  experiencing domestic abuse, sexual violence, healing from unhealthy relationships and childhood sexual abuse.  Supporting Practitioners involved in palliative care, bereavement support, bereavement counselling and serious crime and all forms of trauma and all areas of general counselling.
