Elizabeth Longshaw

I currently have availability but tend to work Monday to Friday starting from 11am and finishing at 7pm.

I currently offer supervision face to face, in a lovely, relaxing room, in Crewkerne. Or I can work via Zoom or telephone. After over ten years of working as a Counsellor, I was encouraged by peers to become a Supervisor.  My qualification is the Diploma in Clinical Supervision, and this enables me to work either individually, or with groups. I aim to provide a collaborative and reflective space where you, as a supervisee, can grow and develop a greater understanding of your client, and maybe of yourself as a counsellor. My role is a mix of education, mentoring, holding the ethical position, and ensuring your safety as well as that of your clients. I work within the guidelines of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.

My supervision is based on the Person-Centred Approach where the core of supervision is the relationship that will be created between you and me. Fundamental to that relationship is a good rapport and working alliance. This reflects my own counselling practice. 

I feel very passionate about supporting other therapists to develop their own potential, and areas of specialist interest, and I have a wealth of experience with adults and young people.

In our first session, we will introduce ourselves, seeing whether we might be able to build up a therapeutic alliance.  If applicable, we will go through the necessary paperwork, and arrange mutually agreeable times for meetings.
