Supervision and Personal Therapy for Clinicians
I am a qualified clinical supervisor, trained by the British Psychological Society. I have several years of experience supervising Psychologists, Psychotherapists, Counsellors, Mental Health Staff and Psychiatrists. I am also available for individual personal therapy for clinicians in training.
I offer supervision on a range of different approaches, but am predominantly CBT focused. I promote flexibility regarding need and frequency of supervision or personal therapy. Please contact me to discuss your needs and I will do my best to accommodate them.
Counselling in Christchurch
The first appointment is usually an assessment session at my practice in Poole, for me to gain more information and establish therapeutic goals, I will then recommend what would be the best treatment going forward. Why not take a look at the Services and About Me page for more information on counselling in Christchurch or contact me if you have any questions or would like to know my rate.
I run clinics in Christchurch, Bournemouth and Poole at convenient locations. Referrals can come direct through an enquiry by phone or email or more formally via a GP or Psychiatrist. I am also registered with all major Health Insurance companies.
