I have been counselling and supervising for over 40 years. I provide private individual and group supervision to counsellors, caseworkers and chaplains.

My approach is to support the practitioner’s development, ensure duty of care and professional practice protocols are being observed, and assist the practitioner to identify areas for personal and professional growth. I generally take a session or two to get to know the practitioner and negotiate the supervision contract.

My supervisees need to be committed to their own learning and willing to reflect openly on their professional practice and any related personal issues.

I have been a supervisee for most of my years in practice, receiving supervision from a cross-section of private and agency based supervisors including Clinical Psychologists, Gestalt Therapists, Couple & Family Therapists, and line managers (many of whom were experienced clinicians). This has given me exposure to a wide range of approaches to supervision, a wide variety of supervisory relationships, as well as an appreciation of agency-related challenges.

I have also trained in a number of different approaches to supervision.

Note: I can provide invoices where a practitioner’s employer agrees to cover the cost of supervision. Alternatively, I can negotiate a fee in situations where the practitioner is funding the arrangement.
