Supervision
Creative approaches to supervision /Lifespan Integration supervision / nature-based supervision
I offer clinical supervision to therapists and counsellors outdoors in natural spaces in Derbyshire, as well as online for those who are further afield. I completed my Creative Approaches to Supervision diploma with The London Centre of Psychodrama in 2014, am an a BADTh approved supervisor and an Lifespan Integration approved supervisor.
My approach to supervision
Working with other practitioners, supporting their practice and development is a part of my work that I find incredibly rewarding. Therapists and counsellors are required to have considerable depth and breadth of skill, theoretical understanding, relational, and emotional capacity for which they are required to expertly apply to a wide range of issues that accompany their clients. As a supervisor (as well as a therapist), I hold a keen awareness of these challenges facing psychological practitioners and I regard the supervision space as hugely important with respect to supporting the supervisee to offer their best practice.
I value offering a place for my supervisees to reflect on the unconscious relational nuances that are often played out in the therapy room; to get curious together about the places they get stuck with their clients; to shine a light on what was otherwise unseen; hold a safe and empathic space for practitioner vulnerability; and to reflect on theoretical material to foster development and enable therapeutic efficacy. Working with trauma, as most of us do, can be quite intense work. Although the healing of our client's trauma is highly rewarding, the therapeutic process can be long and arduous, and can have accumulating effects on us as therapists/counsellors. Therefore, practitioner self-care is a high priority for me, and I hold awareness of work/life balance in mind for my supervisees to protect against compassion fatigue or 'burn out'.
Working creatively
My style of supervision has a specific focus on working creatively helping the practitioner focus on the issue they are presenting. Creative approaches to supervision offers the supervisee the creative space to explore and reflect upon their supervisory focus in a ‘right-brained’ way, providing perspectives which cannot be arrived at through talking alone. This approach also allows for practitioners from across various modalities and professions to access supervision in a meaningful way.
Lifespan Integration Clinical Supervision/Consultancy (for trained LI therapists)
I am an approved LI supervisor offering clinical supervision on an individual basis to LI therapists face to face or via Zoom, VSee or Wire (online conference call).
Nature-based clinical supervision
For nature-based practitioners, as well as indoor counsellors/therapists who wish to engage with nature within their supervision sessions, I offer outdoor supervision in local natural spaces in Derbyshire.
