Christine Shore

I have availability at present for in person and online work.

I qualified with an MA in Person Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have a Certificate of Supervision and an Advanced Certificate in Supervision, including online work. I am experienced and qualified to offer you Supervision for in person, online and telephone work.

I welcome students and experienced Counsellors.

I am a registered and accredited member of the BACP and my work is guided by the BACP code of ethics.

In my work with Supervisees I provide a person-Centred environment in which you can feel safe to explore your work. We will work together to ensure the effective development of your counselling practice. We develop a working alliance to further your professional development. I also find in all my work with clients and supervisees that I continue learn and develop.

My life and my work is led by the Person-Centred approach. I have found it life changing and I am passionate about its application. I see the strength of people and their ability to strive each day in counselling.

I am flexible in my approach and the hours I work as I am committed to those I work with. I aim to provide you with a balance of safety and challenge within a secure space. You can explore your success, anxieties, vulnerability and resilience.

I have a background in education, management and advice work and I have found that all this experience is valuable to add to your experience of supervision.

I am a tutor and assessor, working with counselllors training to be supervisors.

We will use the first session to see if we feel comfortable together and decide whether we feel is we can work productively on enhancing your practice. You can tell me about your counselling practice, experience and modality and I will explain how I will work with you.

I can provide a counselling relationship which will allow you to feel safe enough to explore your challenges and problems. My aim is for us to develop a secure, trusting and confidential relationship, where you feel able to relate and explore. We will work at your pace and address your issues in a way that fits with your individual process and needs. Once you are able to voice your inner troubles, you can begin to find clarity.

I have witnessed people change and grow in ways that they and others did not expect or hope for. I have worked with those who feel there is a lack or void in their everyday life which they wish to understand. I offer a safe, confidential space where you can feel free to explore your particular issues, find insight and work to fill the void. I believe that it is the therapeutic relationship itself which will bring about change.

In addition to my private work I also offer supervision for a charity and teach counselling supervision.

I also have previous extensive experience working with individuals in teaching, management, advice and support.

Based in Heysham, I offer counselling to people willing to travel from any of the surrounding areas as well as counselling by telephone and online video link. There are several direct transport links and ample parking space available. Initially, further sessions would take place weekly for 60 minutes, but this is flexible around your needs. We will have regular reviews to discuss how we feel the counselling is going.
