Practice description
Supervision must be delivered each month, a minimum of 1.5 hours of supervision for 01 – 12 client hours.
New students will benefit from 45 minutes supervision fortnightly for 01 – 12 client hours.
If a supervisee has a safeguarding concern or any worry about your client work, I recommend you contact me for a brief chat. If the chat is short, up to 15 minutes, there isn’t a charge. If the chat is going beyond 15 minutes I will suggest making a further supervision appointment.
I do not charge for reports or letters I might have to write on your behalf.
As I work face-to-face, and Online (video) I am a member of ACTO (Association for counselling and therapy online)
I believe supervision should be as much about the therapist as it is about the counselee (client) work.
I offer flexible appointments.
Concessions are available for students or subject to individual circumstances.
