Supervision and Training
Supervision.
I have supervised counsellors, psychotherapists, social workers, health professionals and those in the helping professions both individually and in groups for many years. I have Certificates in Advanced Supervision, Core Supervision, Therapeutic Supervision and IAPT Hi Intensity Supervision.
I have extensive experience of supervising trainee counsellors and psychotherapists from a range of modalities.
If any practitioners would like group supervision for up to 3 people I will offer a reduction in fees.
Additionally, I have supported practitioners who have been requested to attend the Coroners Court following the death of their client/patient from suspected suicide. If this is an area you would value further information or support please contact me.
