I trained and qualified as a Supervisor in 2020. My trainer was Bob Cooke, who is highly respected in Manchester and has run the Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy for many years. Bob’s training is closely allied to the approach taken by Hawkins and Shohet in their book, Supervision in the Helping Professions.
I have a broad and relational approach to supervision. I am especially interested in using reflective writing with people who work in the caring professions and I have recently been able to develop some ideas by working with third year medical students. Supervision with me could include reflective writing between or preparatory to each session as a basis for our conversations – but there is no obligation if writing doesn’t appeal to you. I charge £80 for each 90-minute session and this covers any extra time spent reading written work.
If you would like to discuss supervision or you are a trainee looking for a therapist, please contact me using the form here. Please note that as this is a private business I am not able to offer student placements, as per BACP guidelines.
