Individual, group and trainee supervision, available online and in person. Everything we do is shaped around you and the clients you work with.
Supervision is a professional requirement, but at its best it is much more than that. It's protected time to step back from the work, think it through with someone experienced, and return to your clients refreshed.
Regular one-to-one sessions, usually monthly or fortnightly depending on your caseload. We'll explore your client work, ethical questions, your own responses and your professional development.
Small groups of [three to four] practitioners meeting regularly. Groups offer a richness of perspective and a sense of community that many counsellors in private practice value greatly.
I welcome students on counselling courses who need a supervisor for their placement. I'll provide the reports and attendance records your course requires and support you through the particular pressures of training.
Before we begin, we'll have a free introductory conversation so you can ask questions and get a sense of how I work. If we decide to go ahead, we'll agree a written supervision contract covering confidentiality, frequency, fees, cancellations and what each of us can expect from the other.
In sessions, you bring what you need to bring. That might be a client you're finding difficult, a question of ethics or boundaries, something that has stirred up strong feelings, or simply a wish to reflect on where your practice is heading. I'll listen, ask questions, offer my perspective where it's useful and help you reach your own conclusions.
Supervision is confidential, within the limits set out in the [BACP Ethical Framework] and the law. I keep brief notes of our sessions and I'm happy to provide letters confirming your supervision for accreditation or course purposes.
Online sessions take place over [Zoom], which works well for most supervisees and makes scheduling easier. In-person sessions are available at [venue / area]. Many supervisees choose a mix of both.
Clear, simple fees with no hidden extras. A reduced rate is available for trainees.

That depends on your professional body, your course and how much client work you do. [BACP] recommends a minimum of 1.5 hours per month for practising counsellors. We'll agree a frequency that meets your requirements and suits your caseload.
Yes. My own practice is [integrative], and I enjoy working with supervisees from a range of approaches. What matters most is that supervision supports you to work safely and well within your own model.
Yes. Most of my supervisees meet me online, and it works very well. In-person sessions are also available in [Town].
It's a free, informal conversation of about 20 minutes, so we can both get a sense of whether we'd work well together. There is no obligation to continue.
Yes. I can complete placement reports, attendance records and supervisor's letters for accreditation applications.
I ask for [48 hours'] notice where possible. Sessions cancelled with less notice are normally charged in full, though I understand that emergencies happen.
