INDIVIDUAL & GROUP SESSIONS

CLINICAL SUPERVISION

Cathy is a BACP Snr: Accred Supervisor offering integrative supervision to both student and qualified counsellors one to one or in small groups.

Initially trained in Person Centred therapy, my practice has developed more integratively over years, embracing Transpersonal Psychology, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Cognitive Analytic Therapy, Psychodynamic theory, Attachment Focused Therapy, Transactional Analysis (T), art and creative therapies and Inter-cultural approaches.

For me, supervision should be a vibrant experience which is engaging, challenging, encouraging and genuinely supportive. I really enjoy giving supervision and am enthusiastic about developing a collegial interaction and a safe and secure relationship of trust, whereby supervisees feel able to be honest about their client work, their fears or concerns as well as their triumphs. Supervision is a learning process enabling a constructive reflection of client work, counselling practice and the counselling process to take place. If you want to grow and develop your practice as a therapist rather than just tick a box, then this is the supervision for you.

Supervision is an ethical requirement of the BACP, as well as a requirement for some agencies and organisations. It ensures accountability and guidance for those of us working with vulnerable others. Many of us work in isolation with our clients and supervision helps to ensure we maintain our boundaries and our professionalism. The Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions that Cathy adheres to supports us in dealing with the varied ethical dilemmas that can arise in within the counselling relationship
