Clinical Supervision
The BACP requires all therapists to receive a minimum of 1 hour and 30 minutes of supervision per month. Student counsellors should have more. I offer professional clinical supervision for both individual trainees and qualified counsellors in a safe and supportive environment.
Why is clinical supervision important?
There are many reasons why clinical supervision is important. It can help you stay up to date with the latest research and treatment approaches: it increases skills in working with people with specific difficulties and ensures that you adhere to ethical principles. It also provides an opportunity for you to reflect on your therapeutic work and gain feedback from a more experienced professional. Supervision can enhance your clinical practice and highlight areas of growth to support you in reaching your fullest potential. My supervision approach is flexible, tailored to your needs and preferences as a trainee or practising counsellor. I have neurodiverse supervisees, and they are happy with my way of working.
Benefits of clinical supervision

Clinical supervision ensures practitioners stay within professional and ethical limits, protecting both the client and the practitioner.
Gain knowledge and skills
Clinical supervision ensures practitioners stay within professional and ethical limits, protecting both the client and the practitioner.
Receive support
Being a therapist can be emotionally demanding. A supervisor provides a space where counsellors and psychotherapists can talk through their own feelings in relation to their client work to prevent burnout and ensure best practice.
Professional development
Supervision can help therapists develop their knowledge and skills through their expertise. Clinical supervisors can guide them in handling complex cases and in understanding where their limits lie.
Accountability
Supervisors help ensure that therapists remain accountable for their actions. This is crucial for maintaining client trust and upholding standards across the profession.
Improved patient care
Clinical supervision helps practitioners increase their knowledge and skills, which can lead to overall improved patient care.
Reduced stress
Having clinical supervision can help reduce stress levels and increase morale.
How much does it cost?
Clinical supervision fees for trainees cost £30.00, and for qualified therapists the fee is £50.00
Where will the clinical supervision sessions take place?
