Jonathan Aldwinckle

Welcome to my supervision profile. My name is Jon. I am a qualified and experienced Counsellor, Psychotherapist, Supervisor and a Registered Member of the BACP (MBACP). I hold a BSc Hons Degree in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy  (The Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute) and a Diploma in Clinical Supervision (The Awareness Centre London), which aligns with the BACP competence framework for supervision

As an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, my philosophy of clinical supervision is rooted in a relational developmental approach. This approach emphasises the importance of the supervisory relationship, continuous developmental growth, and reflective practice. My therapeutic model of integration includes concepts from Psychodynamic, Behavioural and Humanistic theories that align with my relational developmental perspective. Similarly as a supervisor I mirror these concepts as they inform my practice when working with supervisees.

Supervision is described by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) as 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.”

Drawing from the Seven Eyed Model, Integrative Developmental Model, Cyclical Model and Creativity, I offer a reflective space in which to explore and develop your practice, thereby ensuring provision of an ethical, legal and safe therapeutic relationship with your clients. Supervision is conducted within a formal working relationship, but it can take a number of different formats such as in person or online, in groups, or on a one-to-one basis.

Who is supervision for?

Supervision supports anyone who works relationally and emotionally with people of all ages. This may include various helping professions such as:

• Counselling and Psychotherapy
• Medical Professionals
• Mental Health and Community Support Work
• Teaching and Education
• Childcare and Early Years Education
• Criminal Justice and Rehabilitation
• Crisis Intervention and Emergency Responders
• Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy
• Students in placement in any of the above professions

Supervision requirements vary depending on your profession, your regulatory body’s code of ethics and your individual needs. The BACP and other regulatory bodies suggest a minimum of 1.5 hours of supervision per month. However, your level of experience and/or the type of work/client group you are engaging with may affect how much supervision is required.

I have extensive experience of working within mental health services (including forensic) offering multidisciplinary approaches, along with public sector working and the organisational tensions that present when working with complex client groups. More recently I have worked within the education sector offering both group and individual supervision to teachers and education support staff.

Welcome to my profile. My name is Jon. I am a qualified and experienced Counsellor, Psychotherapist, Supervisor and a Registered Member of the BACP (MBACP). My private practice "Beauchamp Counselling" is situated in my home therapy room in Kibworth Beauchamp, ideally located just off the A6 between Market Harborough & Leicester.

Whether you are struggling with unpleasant feelings linked to stress, depression, anxiety or low self-esteem, or you are seeking support to improve relationships, understand family dynamics, heal from abuse or trauma, or find new meaning in life, I offer you the chance to reflect on the difficulties you are experiencing with someone from outside of your day-to-day life.

I believe each person and each path taken is truly unique, as people’s choices are influenced by their experiences and environment. I am passionate about my work and believe therapy can help you to understand yourself and the path you have taken. Through talking together, in confidence, I can help you to work through your difficulties, including deep-rooted beliefs and life experiences, actively engaging with you so that you feel heard, understood and valued. Through working together, I can help you to create the opportunity for positive change and growth, leading to greater understanding of yourself, fresh perspectives and a happier, healthier you.

I offer counselling and psychotherapy on an open-ended basis or for an agreed period of time, with the aim of enabling you to enhance your life, living it more authentically and reaching your potential.

The therapeutic relationship is fundamental in the counselling process and it is essential that you, as the client, feel that you connect with your therapist. I therefore offer an assessment session in which we can discuss a little more about why you are seeking therapy, as well as giving you the opportunity to know more about me and how I work as a therapist.

Assessment sessions are charged at half the usual session price.
