I am an Accredited Counsellor with COSCA and work within the COSCA’s ethical framework. I have undergone training in supervision and have been awarded the COSCA Counselling Supervision Certificate.
I can offer supervision either online or face-to-face in the southside of Glasgow or in East Kilbride.
I am trained in Integrative Counselling using Person-Centred, CBT and Psychodynamic approaches. I am comfortable working with supervisees from other theoretical backgrounds and approaches.
I have experience of working with individuals and with couples. I have experience of working in the Scottish Prison Service for the past 7 years.
I am a trainer and run workshops to help other counsellors build their private practice. I also offer one to one sessions for those seeking advice on building their private practice.
My aim is to offer counselling supervision in a safe, relaxed space for you to reflect on your work and your therapy. I bring patience, humour, honesty, and a non-judgemental attitude to our supervision relationship. I will encourage and support you to reflect on personal and professional issues that are influencing your practice. I provide space in our sessions for you to explore feelings that are difficult or uncomfortable; or those that make you unsure of what is going on in your sessions.
I will encourage you to consider your self-care so that you can be there to help your clients. My aim is to help you to grow as a therapist, keep professional boundaries and work to a professional standard.
As the supervision relationship is so important to your work, I would be happy to meet with prospective supervisees for an initial meeting to have a chat and get a feel for how we might work together.
I can support your client work whether it is online or face-to-face counselling that you offer. It is important that we understand the different psychological processes that affect our clients by the way we work.
I am currently running group supervision on the first Wednesday evening of every month. We meet in my East Kilbride office. The purpose of this group is to provide a safe and supportive space for counsellors to discuss their client work and meet with other counsellors. You are very welcome to join this friendly group of counsellors.
Please contact me for further details.
