Supporting you in your practice

I hold a Post Graduate, Level 7 Diploma in Clinical Supervision (CPCAB). 

"Supervision is essential to how practitioners sustain good practice throughout their working life. Supervision provides practitioners with regular and ongoing opportunities to reflect in depth about all aspects of their practice in order to work as effectively, safely and ethically as possible. Supervision also sustains the personal resourcefulness required to undertake the work." (BACP, 2018)

I will aim to work with you in a collaborative, holding and growful way to support you, your clients and your practice, to help ensure you are working ethically, safely and in the best interests of your clients. 

I work within a supervisory framework shaped by Carroll’s 7 Tasks of Supervision, aiming to provide a learning environment; teaching; counselling; monitoring ethics and professional issues; evaluating; consulting and doing administrative tasks. 

Within this, I have integrated four supervision models to influence the content, direction and impact of the work:

  • Procter’s Functional Model provides overall structure and foundations, focusing on the Normative, Formative and Restorative functions of supervision.

  • Stoltenberg, McNeil & Delworth’s Developmental Model recognises the significance of the developmental stage of therapists and influences the priorities of the work. 

  • Page & Wosket’s Cyclical Model lends itself to the provision of a clearly structured and supportive environment. ensuring each session starts with a Contract, opportunity to Focus on what is needed, Space to explore and recognise what can be taken back into the work and ending with a Review.

  • Hawkins & Shohet’s Seven-Eyed Model comes into its own in the Space of the Cyclical Model and is particularly helpful in offering depth of exploration to acknowledge the nuances of the therapeutic, personal, professional and supervisory relationships.

In my therapeutic work, I work with an integrative model, which is relational and trauma-formed, grounded in person-centred, psychodynamic, TA and CBT approaches and theory. I work in private practice with a diverse range of individuals and couples. I previously worked at a secondary school supporting pupils (aged 11-18) and staff for three years and at BMKSAASS for four years, supporting those impacted by sexual assault or abuse.

 

I can offer 1-1 or group supervision sessions in person or online. 

“Good supervision is for everyone. It feeds us, and we owe it to ourselves and our clients to have high quality nourishment.” (Adcock, 2020)
