I offer personalised supervision for counsellors and hypnotherapists in practice.

I also provide a resource page for therapists and students.

My practice is based on a reflective approach to build on your current skills and knowledge in order to meet the needs of your own clients. I follow the Seven Eyed Model of Supervision (Hawkins & Shohet, 2003). The approach is multi-dimensional exploring the different modes of supervision such as the therapist strategies and interventions, the relationship between the therapist and the client and the wider contexts of therapy such as the organisations or private practice environments you work in, policy, practice, planning, personalising approach, safeguarding, ethics, dilemmas, constraints and limitations, to name a few.

My personal background and approaches are pluralistic (person-centred, CBT, social adaptation, biological and psychodynamic) with specialist interest in trauma, depth psychology, personality type, modality, neuropsychotherapy and the biopsychosocial model. My hypnotherapy work is based on story, imagination, imagery, metaphor, analogy, Ericksonian approach, active imagination, deep suggestion and solution-focused brief interventions as well as blended approaches with counselling.

I have worked with a range of issues including trauma recovery, depression, anxiety, stress, relationships, spiritual issues, sexuality, gender, addictions, phobias, compulsive behaviours and anger to name just a few.

I completed an Accredited Postgraduate Certificate in Supervision in Counselling, Psychotherapy and Helping Relationships.

My supervisory skills and approach is informed from my own current practice as a tutor on Level 3-5 Diplomas at Chrysalis Courses. My Level 6 research diploma has also helped me develop deeper reflective practices in meeting the needs of complex clients in counselling and hypnotherapy. I also draw on my coaching and mentoring roles in education over the past 25 years personalising development, reflection and CPD for practitioners.

My focus is on helping counsellors and hypnotherapists develop their own skills of analysis and reflection as well as building their skills and tools with ideas, strategies and approaches from my own practice and toolbox.
