As a supervisor, the working alliance I have with any supervisee is fundamentally important, and while different and distinct from the therapist-client relationship, there is some crossover. The core conditions being present is essential for it to be a space where there is scope for development, insight, reflection, growth and support. I can work with therapists at any stage of their career, whether you are in training or are an experienced therapist; whether you are looking to fulfil a supervision requirement or wanting some extra supervision, I can support this. While my specialism is in Outdoor Therapy (I've written and delivered numerous workshops on taking your practice outdoors), it is not essential, or indeed necessarily important that you work in this way. Indeed, our supervision itself can take place indoors, outdoors, on the phone or on Zoom.
Starting on February 21st, I am going to be running my Monthly Outdoor Supervision Group in Pollok Country Park. The group will run from 10am-12pm and the cost is on a 'pay what you want' basis until April. The recommended fee is £15-£30.
This supervision group will be facilitated by me and will take place outdoors. We will make dynamic decision based upon the weather on the day itself.
You can engage with this supervision in addition to your required supervision or you can use to make up your requirement. E.g. as a BACP member, I am required to have a minimum of 90 minutes of supervision every calendar month.
As this will take place outdoors please dress accordingly. You could also bring a yoga mat or camping chair or something to sit on. Depending on the weather, we may sit in circle on the ground, or we may need to use chairs, etc.
The dates for the next three meetings are as follows:
If you are interested, or have any specific questions, please do get in touch. Payment must be made in advance of the session to secure your place.
One hour session - face-to-face (indoors or outdoors), or Zoom.
Note: Qualified BACP members are required to have 1.5 hours of supervision per month, therefore my prices would reflect that, i.e. £75 per 1.5 hour session.
One hour session - face-to-face (indoors or outdoors), or Zoom
If you are unsure about counselling, or if we can work together, I am happy to offer a short (15-20 minutes) telephone consultation free of charge so I can help you answer any questions you might have.
