The first session will consist of finding out about you and your supervisory needs and setting goals and expectations. I will also explain how I work and my background. We will go through the supervision contract and explore if you wish to commence  regular one to one supervision and delivery method of this (i.e, face to face, telephone, Zoom etc). 

I have over 20 years experience as a  CBT and EMDR psychotherapist and supervisor and have undertaken various clinical training programmes. Furthermore, I have worked in various settings such as: the National Health Service (NHS) as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapist (EMDR). I have worked for Local Authorities; Private Health Care; Fire Services; Occupational Health Providers; Police Services and Training and Education Services.
