Supervision

“Supervision is the indispensable ingredient in the development of the competent psychotherapist.”

– Irvin D. Yalom

Supervision – driving excellence and accreditation

A consultative supervisory relationship is essential for advancing your personal and professional development. It is a structured process designed to enhance your theoretical knowledge, skills competence and learning, ultimately broadening the scope of your client work.

At V2Recovery, I provide high-quality professional counselling clinical supervision that supports practitioners across various settings – from those working within organisations and workplace wellbeing services to those in private practice or training for accreditation.

Bringing my pioneering skills to assist your professional development

My unique approach focuses on developing you as a valuable, high-performing practitioner within any setting – in private practice or as part of a multi-disciplinary team. I help supervisees to develop the necessary professional and personal skills to operate effectively in multi-disciplinary teams and interpersonal relationships, making them a valuable asset to any employer or practice.

Beyond clinical safety – how mentoring can help you

My unique approach focuses on developing you as a valuable, high-performing practitioner within any setting – in private practice or as part of a multi-disciplinary team. I help supervisees to develop the necessary professional and personal skills to operate effectively in multi-disciplinary teams and interpersonal relationships, making them a valuable asset to any employer or practice.

I am a pioneer in transforming face-to-face theoretical concepts into effective online practice, being one of the first practitioners to bring family therapy online. I specialise in helping supervisees innovate their inner ideas, develop their creativity, and achieve professional and personal goals by operating at the intersection of clinical skill and workplace effectiveness.

Meeting ethical and regulatory requirements

Supervision is a contractual agreement crucial for professional safety and development. It provides a safe and confidential space to deal with issues of personal safety, accountability, responsibility, performance, whilst maintaining high quality standards.

Regular supervision from a suitably qualified professional is mandatory for the maintenance of membership and registration with bodies such as BACP and UKCP, as well as the Professional Standards Authority. It is an indispensable element in meeting ethical requirements and significantly limits practitioners’ risk of clients’ complaints, litigation, and sanctions. I provide specific support for those undergoing accreditation processes or navigating complaints procedures.

Specialised clinical focus

My skilled experience as a facilitator spans many modalities of therapy and supervision, allowing me to offer specialist support in high-demand areas:

  • Trauma-informed therapy: Expertise in approaches like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) which may be relevant to individuals and organisations seeking specialist provision.
  • Systemic family counselling and psychotherapy: Drawing on the transformative systemic model for individuals, couples and families.
  • Inter-cultural & relationship counselling online: A unique specialism differentiating practice, including work with mixed-culture families, blended families, same-sex relationships, and issues related to cultural heritage (such as race, faith and/or racial identity and sexual identity.
  • Organisational support: Provision of services like Employee Counselling Programmes (EAP) and training for workplace stress management training, supporting both staff and leadership teams. I am experienced in supporting services for student mental health support providers.
