Supervision

My approach as a therapist and supervisor is integrative, combining as it does a person-centred or humanistic base with CBT (and now third-wave CBT or ACT) psychotherapeutic techniques  as well as elements of NLP.  In addition to my work with adult clients,  I have spent many years working with young people and supporting trainee therapists to do the same. My clinical supervision qualification covers both counsellors and youth workers.  I am experienced in writing supervision reports for trainee and accreditation portfolios.  Many supervisees appear to find it useful that I also have both experience and qualification in working with individuals on the autistic spectrum as this is apparently considered an unusual additional specialism.

I am familiar with holding groups for both training and supervision and spent several years supervising trainee and qualified counsellors at a youth counselling agency.  I consider group supervision in a warm and mutually supportive environment to be one of the most significant forms of CPD available to therapists whatever their status and experience.

Finding the right fit in a clinical supervisor is crucial to any therapist's ongoing good practice so I offer all potential supervisee who wishes to come and check me out the opportunity of a cost-free initial meeting. I am happy to work with supervisees online.
