I have extensive experience of offering individual case supervision to counsellors, therapists, psychological well-being practitioners and support workers.
I have extensive experience of facilitating group supervision/case discussions. I have worked for Greater Manchester Probation Service as well as Refuge- the Domestic Abuse Charity offering clinical case discussion groups.
Working with other people’s distress can impact professionals in ways that are not always apparent- but issues such as secondary trauma, burnout and staff sickness absence can be a direct result of unprocessed emotional fall-out from this kind of work. Case discussion groups are shown to be a very effective way of assisting staff to continue the work and enhance team well-being.
Individual Supervision
I offer supervision to individuals I charge £55 per 50 minute individual supervision session.
Group Supervision
Contact me to discuss your group needs and we can think about practicalities such as fees and regularity of sessions.
If you have a group of people who would like to take part in facilitated supervision please contact me to discuss and we can make arrangements for a group of up to 5 people to participate in a group session which I will facilitate.
I have experience of conducting groups in my professional life, I previously facilitated Case Discussion Groups for Greater Manchester Probation Service. I also have experience of delivering Clinical Supervision in a group format to Case Workers from Refuge- the domestic abuse organisation.
My previous experience includes co-facilitating groups for complex clients (those who might attract a diagnosis of ‘personality disorder’) and have also participated in and led numerous case-discussion groups, reflective groups and case consultation groups.
Team Consultation
Team reflection groups are particularly helpful with complex cases or where the team is going through major changes. They can assist team members to feel more contained and able to manage the stress of their work and any distress that may arise as a result of their client work.
I can also offer debriefs to teams or individuals in extreme circumstances, for example the tragic cases of loss of a client (e.g. by suicide), or if a team member has suffered an injury or other extreme event in the line of their day to day work.
Please contact me to discuss your team or group needs and I would be happy to meet and discuss practicalities such as costs, regularity of sessions, place and time etc.
My supervision skills are from experience- I do not have a qualification in Supervision. However- my professional experience both as a therapist, mental health practitioner and accessing my own regular supervision enables me to offer a safe and containing environment for practitioners to think about their work.
