I believe that Supervision is a collaborative process of support and learning. It is a protected time and space for the supervisee (practitioner) to reflect on their practice, develop their competence, skills, knowledge, and creativity within the supervisory relationship (alliance), enabling them to provide a safe and ethical service to clients, whist continuously developing themselves and their practice.

The purpose of supervision is to help and support the supervisee to:

• monitor the needs of their clients
• monitor and improve the effectiveness (quality) of their work
• reflect on their work, in order to develop their knowledge, skills and competence
• maintain ethical and professional standards

As well as to provide support and restoration to help the supervisee:

• manage the psychological impact of their work on their own well-being
• deal with a personal crisis that may be impacting on their work
• develop effective self-care strategies and build resilience.

My approach and style

My approach is primarily relational, which offers respect for you and your client group, a safe space to cry, laugh, get angry and rejuvenate, as a normal response to the emotional stresses of working with people in difficult situations, and congruence to supportively challenge that practice where necessary. I also believe that supervision needs to be normative, informative and restorative, and work mainly with the seven eyed and the cyclical models of supervision.

Initial contact 

You can contact me via telephone, email or by using the contact form below. I am often with clients or supervisees, but I will respond within 24 hours.

Introductory call (telephone or online)

The purpose of this call is for us to get to know each other a little. We can briefly discuss your client base, what you want from supervision and how often you wish to attend sessions.

Should you wish to continue we book the first session. It’s important to find the right supervisor for you and if we decide you would be better served with an alternative professional, I can provide recommendations or signposting.

Your first session

I will email you a copy of the working agreement and my ‘how to get the most out of supervision’ document, in advance of this session. This document provides details on how to prepare for our first session; reflecting on your client base, style of working, your experience of supervision (both good and bad), what your key challenges are etc.

This will be discussed at the start of your first session to enable us to determine and agree how we will work together to meet your needs.

Subsequent sessions

This will be unique to you, your individual needs and what you choose to bring.
