Silverset Counselling Service: Founded with a specific vision and purpose in mind – to help and support people experiencing challenging times and facing tough challenges in their lives. The service is available to clients from all levels of society, without bias, judgement, or condemnation. 

It is a space to be heard attentively; where you can speak your mind; share your stories; and explore pressing issues (from feelings of anxiety, loneliness, hurt & anger, low self-esteem, lacking confidence, having low moods, or finding oneself, to relationships, family issues, mental health disorders such as depression, & OCD, etc.); it is a space where you can set goals & work toward achieving them in your own time. 

Sometimes people seeking counselling therapy through the NHS process may have to wait a very long time, to see an NHS counsellor or psychotherapist. It is found that patients may have to wait up to 18 months or more, just to see someone to talk about their issues. 

Fortunately, prospective clients who contact SCS will be seen straightaway for an assessment and be allocated a counsellor within one week of their initial contact, where there usually is availability. There is always time at Silverset Counselling Service to spend with clients who just need a listening ear, and this is what we are here for – to provide you with space, time, and attention.

When you attend the initial assessment, it will last for about 45-mins and costs £39.50. You will have an opportunity to briefly discuss your presenting issues further and what you would like help with during therapy. The session usually includes making introductions with each other and where we will share information about how we work (theoretically) and other information such as boundaries, therapy cost (sliding scale basis), etc. Then afterwards, we can contract to meet regularly for therapy and to commence at a day and time that is suitable for you. Please let us know your availability and we can schedule a convenient day and time for your assessment.

SILVERSET COUNSELLING SERVICE:

Clinical Supervision: Tailored Supervisory Approach for Psychotherapists, Therapists and Counsellors

Join us for a personalized supervision experience, thoughtfully designed to support and enhance your therapeutic practice. Our approach integrates key elements of the Seven-Eyed Model by Hawkins and Shohet and the Cyclical Model by Page and Wosket, along with a structured framework for our sessions:

1. The Contract: Initial discussions about boundaries and expectations to establish a clear and supportive supervisory relationship.

2. The Session Contract: Each session begins with setting an agenda that may include client issues related to boundaries, ethics, contracting, finances, the working alliance, transferences, and the context of your practice.

3. Supervisee Sharing: A space for you to share how things are progressing, focusing on your self-care and discussing what you'd like to explore in the session.

4. A Mini Contract: We focus on specific client work, determining what you aim to gain from the session to enhance your work with individual clients. This includes the use of clean and effective feedback and how to respond to such feedback.

5. Managing the Supervisory Process: We'll navigate the supervisory process, paying attention to any parallel processes occurring in your therapeutic work.

6. Contextual Awareness: Special emphasis on the wider work context, including cultural and organizational factors that influence your practice.

This approach ensures a comprehensive and reflective supervision experience, where we prioritize not only the ethical and practical aspects of your work but also your personal development and well-being as a therapist. Join us in this journey of professional growth and effective practice.
