Online Clinical Supervision Across the UK!
I currently have space to welcome new Supervisees into my practice.
Clinical supervision is a vital part of counselling practice – a nurturing, open and honest space to reflect, grow and sustain yourself as a practitioner.
My approach to supervision is pluralistic, collaborative and creative, supporting you to develop as a professional while also looking after your own wellbeing.
Whether you’re a trainee or an experienced counsellor, supervision with me offers space to:
- Reflect on your client work and your own experience as a counsellor
- Explore complex clinical and ethical issues in a supportive environment
- Maintain professional standards in line with BACP and NCPS guidelines
- Build confidence and knowledge in your practice
- Stay grounded and avoid burnout by prioritising your self-care
- Celebrate your successes as well as navigate challenges
My Style of Supervision
Since qualifying as a Clinical Supervisor in 2020, I’ve really enjoyed combining humanistic, creative and practical approaches to help supervisees grow with confidence and build businesses they thrive in!
I trained under the inspirational Jenny Biancardi – a well respected figure in the counselling world who worked with pioneers such as Carl Rogers and John Wilson. Her mix of knowledge, humour and compassion continues to shape my work today, long after her well deserved retirement!
My supervision draws on:
- The Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision
Encourages reflection on different layers of the therapeutic process – from your client work to your relationships, patterns and wider professional context and gain new perspectives.
- Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle
Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle underpins my supervision approach, helping you move between experience, reflection, theory and practice so your learning becomes practical, personal and lasting.
- Carroll’s Tasks of Supervision
Carroll’s Tasks of Supervision guide my work by balancing support, education, monitoring and reflection – ensuring supervision meets both your needs and our professional ethical standards.
I also bring in creative methods – metaphors, imagery, music, sand trays and doodling – to enrich reflection and make sense of the processes at work within therapy.
How Much Supervision Do You Need?
Both BACP and NCPS recommend 1.5 hours of supervision per month for qualified counsellors.
I offer flexible options to meet your needs:
- 90-minute sessions (£75) – Standard supervision sessions that meet monthly requirements and offer plenty of time to reflect and explore your caseload and practice.
- 60-minute sessions (£60) – Ideal as a “top-up” alongside another supervisor or if you want shorter check-ins during quieter periods.
- SOS top-ups (£25 for 30 minutes) – Quick, focused sessions you can book when you need urgent support, have a particularly heavy caseload or want to explore an issue in more depth between sessions.
If you’re working toward accreditation, a minimum of 90 minutes per month is mandatory, which I can provide in line with professional body requirements.
Business Coaching and Mentoring for Therapists
Alongside and within clinical supervision, I offer optional business coaching and mentoring.
Many counsellors feel confident in the therapy room but less sure about running their practice.
With over 20 years’ business experience, two successful companies, and several business awards, I love helping therapists build “businesses with a heart.”
During Supervision, we can cover:
- Marketing and attracting your ideal clients
- Building systems that keep your practice running smoothly
- Balancing business with self-care
- Developing confidence as a self-employed or employed counsellor
What the Membership Bodies Say
Both NCPS and BACP highlight how essential supervision is for safe, ethical and effective counselling practice.
As NCPS (2021) states:
“Clinical Supervision is fundamental to the provision of safe, ethical and competent counselling. Concerns about any aspect of your counselling work should be brought to supervision where further support, understanding and advice can be sought.”
And from the BACP Ethical Guidelines:
“A specialised form of mentoring provided for practitioners responsible for undertaking challenging work with people. Supervision is provided to ensure standards, enhance quality, advance learning, stimulate creativity, and support the sustainability and resilience of the work being undertaken.”
These definitions show that supervision is about more than meeting requirements – it’s about protecting your clients, deepening your skills and sustaining your practice for the long term.
Free Introductory Supervision Session
Starting supervision with someone new can feel like a big step, which is why I offer a free 30-minute introductory session online.
This isn’t a full supervision session of course, but rather a chance for us to meet, talk about what you’re looking for, and see whether we feel like a good fit to work together.
My usual confidentiality and professional guidelines apply.
Your growth and wellbeing are always the priority. If, after our chat, it feels like another style of support would suit you better, I’ll be happy to point you toward other options.
