About me and my therapy practice
As a supervisor I look forward to meeting with Children and Young People Counsellors looking for a safe, supportive and reflective space where you can explore your developing practice, gain insights into the client-counsellor relationship while developing greater self-awareness. Using the Seven-Eyed Supervision Model I work in a flexible way and will collaborate with you to ensure that our sessions are attuned to your supervision needs to ensure you feel heard and understood; I incorporate a range of therapeutic experience to my supervision work taking both your professional and personal self into consideration, respecting your experience and your future developmental needs.
Practice description
My background as an integrative counsellor means I draw on extensive experience incorporating counselling theories into practice working creatively tailoring sessions with Children and Young People in both Primary and Secondary schools as well as working with and supporting their families; formerly working within further education as a trainer/assessor and recently completing a wonderful chapter in my life after 18 years as a foster carer where I discovered the parallels of social pedagogy and counselling in 2010 - Both counselling and social pedagogy emphasize the importance of understanding and supporting the individual as a whole, considering their physical, emotional, social, and cognitive needs.
I work in-person in Fife and online throughout the UK. I hold an Advanced Certificate in Clinical Supervision including Online and Telephone Working
Diploma in Counselling Children and Young People
Online Telephone Therapy
