I provide supervision for both individuals and groups, students and qualified. The emphasis of the session would be largely dependent upon the level of your experience, your orientation and what you are looking for. As a minimum I would seek to create a safe environment within which you could share and explore what is going on for you in your counselling, and would ascertain what you are looking for from me.
What model do you work with?
Personally, I like the Inskipp and Proctor model which incorporates three elements:
Restorative – checking out the personal wellbeing of the supervisee
Normative – monitoring the supervisee’s client work
Formative – identifying and may be providing any further training which is necessary
While starting the session with the restorative element, I generally find the normative and formative intertwine throughout the session.
What experience do you have?
I have been working with individuals and groups, both students and qualified, in mentoring and coaching for over 20 years. More recently my training has incorporated elements on counselling supervision and I have read extensively. Furthermore, my own supervision, whether through experience on the receiving end, or more formally through training, has informed much of what I do.
What happens after I make contact with you?
Following your initial contact with me, we would have an informal chat to meet and ascertain as far as possible whether we could work together. We would also explore what our expectations and goals are. If we agree to proceed we would then work out frequency and length of meetings.
To find out more, please phone me on 01452 504777 or 07732 966 132, or email me at tricia@freedomcounselling.net.
I look forward to hearing from you!
