ECHIDNA COUNSELLING
SUPERVISION
Supervision for counsellors and psychotherapists
Good supervision offers space to think about your work with clients, to explore what might be happening beneath the surface, and to consider how your own responses, experiences and working context shape the work.
I offer individual supervision to counsellors and psychotherapists, online and face to face in Chelmsford. My approach is informed by psychodynamic and group analytic perspectives, alongside experience of working across individual, couples and group settings.
I am currently completing a Diploma in Supervision with Grove Practice. While I complete my training, I offer supervision at a reduced fee.
How I work as a supervisor
My approach is grounded in psychodynamic thinking and group analytic principles. I am interested in what happens within the therapeutic relationship, the patterns that may emerge in the work, and how our own responses can help us understand something about the client and the therapeutic process.
I offer a space to think openly about the work, including uncertainty, difficulties and moments when you feel stuck. Alongside exploring the relational and unconscious processes at play, I recognise the importance of practical and ethical considerations, including the settings and systems within which we work.
My approach is informed by other therapeutic modalities, and I welcome discussion of different ways of understanding and working with clients.
Who I work with
I welcome enquiries from counsellors and psychotherapists at different stages of their professional development, including those who are newly qualified or developing a private practice.
My clinical experience spans NHS and private practice, EAP work, acute hospital and palliative care settings, and specialist bereavement services. This informs my supervision work.
I also have experience of individual, couples and group work, and welcome opportunities to think with practitioners about the particular challenges and dynamics these different settings can bring.
Practicalities and fees
Individual supervision is available online or face to face in Chelmsford.
-
One hour: £15
-
One and a half hours: £20
These are reduced fees while I complete my supervision training.
We will agree a supervision contract at the outset, setting out the practical arrangements and our respective responsibilities, including confidentiality, record keeping, cancellations and regular review.
I do not offer supervision to people I teach or assess.
We begin with an introductory conversation, giving us an opportunity to discuss your work, what you are looking for from supervision and whether we feel the arrangement would be a good fit.
