Nigel Beesley

I provide clinical supervision for both qualified therapists and for those studying for professional counselling qualifications. Most work is currently carried our remotely using Zoom or other similar communication software but I intend to return to face to face work when the Covid constraints allow it.

My main training is integrative, through Matrix College of Counselling and Psychotherapy, based on a humanistic and person-centred background. I'm a registered member of the BACP and a UKCP Accredited Therapeutic Consellor.

I'm also trained and qualifed as a practitioner of NLP anduse this as part of my practice.

We will discuss what you need and want from supervision and agree how best to achieve this. Typically. sessions will be held monthly or fortnightly for about an hour but these can be longer, depending on your practice and the volume of clients you have.

I currently have availability for both face to face and Zoom clients.  Appointments are available during the working week between 0930 and1800. Other times may be available by prior arrangement.

I work with individuals to help you deal with the difficult issues that affect us all from time to time. I offer you a safe and confidential space where you can discuss any and all of the concerns you have about yourself, your relationships, your work and your life. My main approach to counselling is integrative, built on a person-centred foundation and supplemented by the more cognitive approaches of NLP and CBT. This enables me to work effectively with traumatised clients on a short-term basis as well as doing longer term work to deal with more deeply ingrained issues from earlier in life. The breadth of my training enables me to build an approach for each client tailored according to their individual needs and to prioritise work on the issues most important to them at the time. As well as running my own private practice, I have previously worked for five years voluntarily for a local charity which focuses on working with male and female survivors of sexual and domestic abuse. I've previously worked in a local prison for several years, providing counselling support to prisoners with a range of needs, often involving complex issues from childhood and multiple addictive behaviours. I also offer supervision to other qualified counsellors

I welcome enquiries for therapy from adult individuals from 18 years old and upwards.

For supervision I welcome enquiries for both qualified therapy and those currently training.

Your first session will be free of charge. During this session we will explore the issues which have led you to seek therapy and discuss what we might be able to achieve to help you.  We will discuss the extent, timing and frequency of sessions necessary but at this stage there will be no obligation either way to continues with further sessions

Once we're both happy that we'll be able effectively to work together, we'll create a short contract to summarise what we've agreed to do.
