Currently have availability on weekdays, evenings and weekends.

I hold a Level 6 Certificate in Supervision (including online and telphone) and am offering in-person, online and telephone supervision.  I am also a CPCAB Level 2-4 tutor, so have a very good understanding of the training process from a tutor and student perspective.

So, this is the bit where I write about all of my fantastic qualities, experiences etc. and encourage you to come to me for your supervision...

Well, I'm not going to do that - how about - you get in touch with me - we have an initial conversation where we can talk you about the way I work, what you need in a supervisor and let's take it from there?

All I will say, is that I'm a bit different, not everyone's 'cup of tea' (don't drink it, personally - waste of good water!) and yes, wherever possible, I integrate my sense of humour into my work: I am a firm believer that counselling and supervision is not all 'doom and gloom', whilst respecting the serious nature of the work.

So, get in touch - let's have a chat and hopefully we can build a great working relationship.

:-)

First session is always assessment, see if we 'click', talk about what you need in a supervisor and what I can offer.

Currently, I have both in-person and online availability throughout the week - please contact me for details.  I am also a supervisor in training and am currently offering heavily discounted sessions for supervision.

I believe that I can facilitate your growth and development to empower you to live your life how you want to live it - through empathy, honesty and acceptance.

So, what does that mean?

Empathy - I will 'get in your shoes', 'walk along side you' and be with you every step of the way to you living your life, how you want it lived.

Honesty - whilst this may be challenging at times; I offer a safe, secure and confidential space - free from judgement: a space where you can 'be you' - with appropriate challenges to enable you to think about and explore what you really want from life.

Acceptance - I have experience of working with a wide range of clients: from adolescents, to those in the autumn (and winter) of their lives - men, women and those who identify as gender, relationship and sexuality diverse (GSRD).

Everyone is welcome.

Our first meeting will be an assessment session, which is for us to go through some standard questions (including any questions you may have for me), talk about the process of counselling/what has brought you here and for us to decide if we would like to work together.  The session lasts for 45-50 minutes.
