Guillermo Oro

 I am an experienced Counselling and Psychotherapy supervisor. I work relationally and holistically so can supervise practitioners within the humanistic and Integrative family:- Gestalt Therapists, Person-Centred counsellors, people working humanistically and relationally as well as Integrative practitioners. 

As well as supervising experienced practitioners I have also supervised counsellors and therapists in training, so understand the additional support and tasks involved with working supporting trainees. I offer supervision over zoom, both individually and group supervision.

Supervision is an activity that covers a lot of territory. You will be requiring support for your work, and as such may need assistance in making sense of theory, looking into aspects of practice and developing techniques which you can use, and occasionally need help in how to overcome ‘stuckness’. 

Additionally you will be practicing how to be supported to offer support to your clients, as well as exploring the therapeutic relationship you have with your clients and possible transference issues, and how this can be mirrored in the supervisory relationship too. 

Supervision is also about you, the practitioner and person, and exploring and uncovering the issues and aspects of you which are being stimulated through your client work or which old wounds are being opened up. 

I hope to offer a space where you can bring your best and your worst, and for it to be a supportive, growthful and challenging space where you can really develop your therapeutic practice.

In your first session, I will be open as to what your immediate needs are, as well as us considering if our relationship has what is needed in order for it to sustain longer term and ongoing professional support for you. 

I feel that we have to give this openness room, so we can really experience if we want to work with each other longer term, or even if this is a single exploratory session, I would still want to meet some of your immediate supervision needs.

In the first session, as well as attending to any immediate supervision needs you may have, we will also be paying attention to whether we both feel that our working relationship has what is required for us to work in a more ongoing manner.

 It is important to give space to this, and for us to explore how we feel the supervision relationship is developing, as this is key to it being a successful supervision relationship. 

I understand seeking support isn't always easy. My first priority is to make accessing support and Counselling as stress free as possible by establishing an informal yet supportive environment. By creating a space which is free of judgement and where there is no problem more or less worthy than another, I've helped many people work through some of their toughest moments.

My background is in Humanistic/person-centred counselling, however, over the years I have extended my knowledge and education as an integrated Therpist, using elements of other disciplines allowing me to respond and adapt my approach to suit my client's needs.

I've helped clients of various ages and from a range of backgrounds work through issues including anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, loneliness, relationships, domestic / sexual abuse, loss and trauma.

Working face to face , I also offer telephone and online Counselling, using Microsoft Teams and Zoom. 

Email or text to set up an initial consultation. This is a free-of-charge conversation done over the phone or on Zoom and will take around 20-30 minutes. This will give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have and will allow me to explain a little more about the service. It will also give you the chance to get a better idea of me and how I work; this is highly important as the relationship between Client and Therapist is fundamental to the work.
