Supervision for Student and qualified counsellors
My supervision is a Post Graduate L7 supervision certificate, studied at The Manchester Institute of Psychotherapy – based on the seven-eyed model of supervision.
My supervision style is based on the Seven-Eyed Supervision Process Model (Peter Hawkins and Robin Shoet). In my practice, I create a comfortable environment where, much like Person-Centered Counselling, the relationship is central. As a predominantly person-centered supervisor, my goal is to provide a safe space where the supervisee can have a meaningful and supportive experience.
The relationship between supervisor and supervisee differs from that of a therapist and client. However, both share core principles such as empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard. This is essential because it helps the supervisee feel accepted and free from judgment. As a result, they can grow both personally and professionally. For example, by exploring how a client’s behavior affects the supervisee, new insights and growth can emerge. In conclusion, creating a safe, trusting environment is crucial for helping the supervisee thrive

How I work
In my private practice, I work with a variety of clients. These include adults, children, teenagers, and couples. I help individuals dealing with loss, bereavement, anxiety, trauma, and PTSD. Additionally, I am trained in Re-wind therapy, which helps with trauma recovery. Moreover, I support clients affected by abuse and coercive control. Depending on the client’s needs, I use different approaches, including creative methods when appropriate.
Supervision provides a valuable space for reflection. Not only does it allow us to explore client work, but it also helps us understand how those experiences affect us personally. Being open to these challenges is where growth happens. For example, I work with person-centred and integrative approaches. In my own work, I enjoy incorporating creative techniques. If you are interested, I can also introduce these methods into supervision. I work with qualified counsellors, newly qualified counsellors, and those in training. For more information, please feel free to call.

We Run Supervision Groups
Group supervision.
In addition, I also offer group supervision, where I work with both trainees and qualified counsellors. In these sessions, I facilitate the group by promoting ethical practice in a safe and comfortable environment. This approach allows counsellors to come together, support one another, and share their knowledge. Moreover, it helps build a strong support network, which is especially valuable since counsellors often work alone. Groups provide an excellent opportunity to connect with other counsellors and expand your professional network. For further details and dates of group supervision, please feel free to email me.
Groups are in-person at our Oulton Leeds 26 location or online follow this link to check where we are. https://fymc.co.uk/contact/
How does group supervision compare to individual supervision?
In a group, there is an opportunity not only to talk but also to listen. The act of sharing with others who are experiencing similar situations can significantly reduce feelings of isolation.
This, in turn, becomes a therapeutic process and is beneficial for building a network of fellow counsellors.
Moreover, a therapy group provides a supportive and safe space to explore thoughts and feelings—things that might not always feel safe to express elsewhere.
Will I have to reveal information about myself in a group?
No. It’s normal to feel anxious at first. Joining a group and talking about yourself or your work can be difficult. However, most people feel more at ease after some time. Everyone moves at their own pace.
Once you start sharing, you’ll likely feel better. The confidentiality of the group and hearing others’ experiences can be reassuring.
Additionally, our groups are designed to do more than just discuss issues. We also share valuable
