PHILOSOPHY

The Person Centred approach believes that you are capable of discovering your own solutions to your own problems. You are the expert in your own life. There are no diagnoses or labels and conversely there is no prescription. Instead, via the relationship between client and counsellor, the client discovers personal resources, develops their own power, and becomes more able to grow. I’m a qualified Person Centred Counsellor and have the PG Dip and MA in Psychotherapy.

Ecopsychology understands that individual, community and global wellbeing are interconnected. This is a new way of expressing very ancient understandings about our place in the world and the worlds place in us. I’m registered with the International Community for Ecopsychology

SUPERVISION

It seems that whatever approach or method is used, in the end it is the quality of the relationship between supervisor and counsellor that determines whether supervision is effective or not . . . There needs to be a degree of warmth, trust, genuineness and respect between them in order to create a safe enough environment for supervision to take place.

(Hunt 1998)

All my supervisors – and supervisees - have taught me one essential thing: that a commitment to authenticity is vital. Supervision can be rich and enjoyable at the same time as being difficult; it’s in those moments of discomfort that we discover most about the relationship between the client and ourselves. Feeling secure enough to explore the difficult stuff requires confidence and respect in and from both of us.

My background is in Person Centred Practice, and I offer reduced fees for students. Groups are limited to 3 supervisees.

One to one supervision - £40 / £25 for students for 1 hour.

Group supervision - £25 per person for 1 hour.
