I hold a Level 6 Certificate in Therapeutic Counselling Supervision (CPCAB), and my supervisory approach is founded on the seven-eyed model (Hawkins and Shohet, 2012). This means I support supervisees in considering their possible blind spots and focus on various relational dynamics including the client’s experience, the relationship between counsellor and client, and the inter-relational experience between us as supervisor/supervisee, as well as the wider context considering environmental factors such as social constructs, culture, difference and diversity. I am sensitive to stages of development, meeting needs in terms of experience and competence, and supporting with particular client groups or themes. I supervise counsellors and psychotherapists from a wide range of training backgrounds face to face, or online. In addition to my Level 6 qualification, I hold a master’s degree in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapeutic Counselling from the University of Cambridge and have many years’ experience supervising child/play therapists, drama therapists, art therapists, existential, psychodynamic, humanistic, integrative, and CBT clinicians trained in both CYP and adult work. In addition to private practice, I am a clinical supervisor for a national charity. I have experience running clinical skills workshops/training and supporting therapists who are training to be supervisors. As a registered member of the BACP I adhere to the organisation’s ethical framework.
