Karenza Cross

I have a therapy space in Kingsbridge and Plymouth and currently I have some availability on Thursday and Friday

Hi, I'm Karenza and I'm an integrative psychotherapist, which means that I tailor my approach based on your needs and goals. I have experience of working with both adults and young people. I believe the relationship is key to you feeling able to explore the challenges you are facing. It is important that you are comfortable working with me and feel that I am here to support you. 

Our work will support you to untangle and make sense of your emotions and responses. Build your self belief and help you to better manage your day to day.

I provide face to face support as well as zoom (if preferred). I have worked in a variety of settings from schools to  the NHS and private healthcare. My priority is to focus on you and what you need. 

Together we can set the pace of the work. I have a broad experience working with anxiety, depression, self esteem, bereavement and anything which you feel is becoming a barrier to your day to day. I also have experience working with clients with learning needs.

We can either meet face to face or via zoom and during our first session we will cover the contract between us, in terms of understanding confidentiality, session timings and giving you an idea of what to expect from our sessions. I will ask you about your current situation and concerns, as this will help to guide our sessions. Offering us the time to review the work and consider other issues or goals that may come up during our time together.

Currently I have availability to offer supervision either face to face at my Plymouth or Kingsbridge space or online via zoom or teams

I'm trained as an integrative counsellor and can provide supervision for anyone working in a helping profession. I currently work in a healthcare setting as a Clinical Supervisor working with counsellors, assisted psychologists and CBT clinicians. 

I have also worked as a CPCAB counselling tutor and would welcome working with students currently training on level 4 counselling courses or equivalent.

I have a CPCAB Level 6 supervision qualification. My supervision training is based on Hawkins and Shohet's Seven Eyed Process Model. I draw upon the developmental and relational approaches to supervision.

I believe supervision is a collaborative process, and as your supervisor I will facilitate and guide you to learn and develop confidence as an independent practitioner.

The relationship underpins the depth of the work that we can do together. This can help to inform your ability to be open and honest when sharing your client work, which is not only ethical but important for your development as a therapist.

As well as your client work I will also check in on your self care and encourage you to consider your next steps as a practitioner.

I currently offer supervision in person from my space in Kingsbridge or Plymouth and online via Zoom and would be happy to provide either one-hour monthly supervision or the BACP 1.5 hour requirement for monthly supervision.

My fee is £50 for a 60-minute session or £75 for the BACP recommended 1.5-hour monthly supervision. 

During our first session, we will spend time agreeing our contract and exploring your needs and goals as an independent counsellor in supervision.

We will also ensure that we're a good fit to work together and together decide on a suitable way forward for your supervision journey.
