About me
I am a TA Counselling supervisor (PTSTA (C) and choose a creative, systemic approach to my supervision. My frame of reference is firmly based in wellness rather than pathology. I work with individuals and groups.
In individual supervision I use Trudi Newton’s Supervision Triangle (Newton 2012), creating a balance between case management, support and development.
One of the models I use is the seven-eyed supervision model (Hawkins & Shohet, 1985) The model is relational, it focuses on the relationships between client, therapist and supervisor, and systemic because it focuses on the interplay between each relationship and their context within the wider system. The model is called “seven eyed” because it focuses on seven distinct aspects of the therapeutic process.
In group supervision this model allows everyone to take part in the supervision process either presenting a client or participating by observing from one of the seven eyes.
Ways of Working
I offer both 1:1 supervision and group supervision (maximum 3 supervisees per group).
I have over 15 years of experience working with neurodiverse clients and 4 years of supervising neurodiverse caseloads.
