Graduate Supervisors

BA Hons, Dip Counselling, Cert Supervision, PGCert Systemic Therapy.  Membership: Association for Family Therapy, Addiction Professionals, The Person-centred Association.

I have been a clinical supervisor since 2010, working with individuals and addiction treatment teams in residential and community settings. I am the clinical supervisor for a London borough young people’s counselling service.

For eight years I taught clinical supervision on the University of Bath’s Addiction Counselling FD and BSc degrees; I continue to train practitioners in person-centred counselling, Yalom’s interpersonal group psychotherapy, working with families and significant others, and diversity issues. I also counsel family members affected by others’ substance misuse, using a systemic approach.

I have developed various evidence-based treatment projects and manuals, and write and deliver accredited  training. I have worked in a number of different settings, including prisons and therapeutic communities. For four years I was the counselling team manager at Clouds House, a  residential addiction treatment service. I have also worked for a university student counselling service.

I use the 7-eyed model of supervision, with a focus on interpersonal relationships, collaboration and the therapeutic alliance. As a reflective (humanistic) practitioner I encourage supervisees to view their work in terms of stages of action and learning using Kolb’s learning cycle.

Experience/qualifications: Cinzia Altobelli MSc RGN.

I am a UKCP registered independent psychotherapist and supervisor with a nursing background. I have been a qualified counsellor since 1992, completed an MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy in 2005 at the Metanoia Institute and a Certificate in Supervision at CSTD in 2011. I have been providing clinical supervision since 2007. I worked with both supervisees and supervisors offering individual and group supervision in a wide range of contexts including the NHS, multidisciplinary and specialist teams in the community and more recently schools when working in partnership with the Place2be counsellors.

In the last 14 years I worked in the field of addiction at For Families a division of Action on Addiction (formerly Clouds) that supports families affected by addiction. I was Leader of Therapeutic services since 2007 developing innovative therapeutic interventions, accredited training, managing and supervising a team of counsellors and projects.

I have been an independent psychotherapist, supervisor and coach in training since February 2015.

Particular area of interest: The parallel process in supervision especially when working in the field of addiction where blame and shame can be recurring themes. I am interested in organizational supervision, systemic work with team/families, mentalization based treatment with individuals and families.

My supervision: I am in supervision with Dr Jenifer Elton Wilson

My approach: I like to work collaboratively and I am keen to make supervision a two way stimulating, helpful and transparent process.I work integratively using the Seven-eye supervision model and draw from various thinking such as TA, CAT, MBT, CBT, Systemic Theories, Person centred, Self Psychology, Psychodynamic, Attachment and Neurobiology to understand clients' presentation.

With20 years experience working as a Humanistic and Attachment Therapist, I welcome the opportunity to offer Supervision as a reflective practice across modalities, with individuals and groups. In my own experience, I have found Supervision to be empowering, enlightening and motivating as well as enhancing the quality of my relationships and practices. Having this opportunity for self enquiry, in a supportive relationship, has been essential to my development, on a professional and personal level, and I would love to offer this type of relationship to anyone who feels they would also benefit, regardless of your profession. 

I have been working as a Psychological Therapist in IAPT for many years offering brief intervention counselling for the NHS, I am now a supervisor in this service and am also a trained EMDR (trauma) therapist.

I split my working week between the IAPT service and Private practice, enjoying the difference in time and focus. I have a strong interest in relationships and inner child work. I like engaging with different modalities, and continuing to learn from my clients and supervisees.

I have had many years experience of working in schools, the charity sector, adult education and in private practice. I supervise individuals and groups. Organisations are welcome to enquire about contracting with me.

My background includes working therapeutically in schools and within the charity/voluntary/education sectors for over 30 years.

I work and live within various minority communities. I facilitate groups and support mentors for the Black and Asian Therapist Network and I am a Leadership Associate with them.

I also work within the LGBTQ communities. I have recently set up a low cost clinic for LGBTQ youth. I am a trainer and Clinical Associate with Pink Therapy. I have worked for many years with people living with or affected by HIV, as well as with a range of clients impacted by minority stress due to their sexuality or gender.

I have experience of working from an intersectional and equalities perspective, and my personal experience and work within community groups and with clients from diverse minority groups have given me a good understanding of working effectively with diversity and difference.

I have experience of both managing and supervising the work of people who work with young people.

Underpinning that I have over 15 years experience in senior management and interim roles in the VCS, public and wider Third sector, up to CEO level, and over 25 years’ experience of supporting development across systems and with organisations, businesses, teams and individuals.

I supervise coaches, OD consultants and others involved in organisation and system change and offer reflective practice support to a range of other professionals. I carried out an auto-ethnographic study into coaching supervision for my MA in Coaching at Northumbria University in 2018, achieving a distinction.

My essential mode of supervision is systemic and integrative, promoting deep reflexivity. I use an eclectic approach, underpinned by Hawkins and Shohet's 7-eyed model, and using frameworks and tools from NLP, Egan's Skilled Helper, psychodynamics, constellations, transpersonal psychology, and Solutions Focus. My underpinning philosophy is that supervision is a form of social learning practice.

I work with organisations and networks to develop and support internal coaching programmes, offering CPD, supervision and consultancy input.

My coaching philosophy is informed by psychological coaching models, underpinned by training, academic study, ongoing CPD and significant personal work. My approach is flexible and person-centred, using a range of coaching tools. I specialise in providing reflexive generative space for leaders and other change agents in complex, high-pressure environments and in supporting people going through significant work and life transitions.

I use a range of methods and approaches in supervision. I support supervisees to develop a strong reflexive approach to their work, helping them to foster a robust ethical compass, and always aim to facilitate transformation for both the supervisee and the client system. I was previously Regional Coordinator for the North East of England (2013-2018) and also Learning and Development Director with AOCS, the Association of Coaching Supervisors.
I have regular supervision on my work with a qualified and experienced supervisor.

Relevant qualifications: Diploma in Coaching 2002; PG Dip Organisational Change and Consultancy, Sheffield Hallam University 2007; MPNLP (PPD Learning) 2007; Certificate in Supervision, CSTD London, 2015; MA Coaching (Distinction), Northumbria University, 2018.

What people have said about working with me as a supervisor:
‘Trish provides the perfect space for me to reflect and work on my case material and more importantly myself and the challenges I am facing as a coach and business owner. Trish listens deeply and from multi perspectives and so helps me explore and consider my work in the context of the system within which we are both operating. Occasionally and, it seems, only when necessary she will impart some deep wisdom which always challenges me to think and reflect wider’.

‘I really enjoy my sessions with her and always leave clear, refreshed and resourced. I would strongly recommend Trish for coaching supervision’.

‘Working with Trish was both a pleasure and rewarding experience. The coaching supervision she provided supported effective reflection in my coaching approach through specific examples and general approach to my work with coaching clients. I would recommend Trish to any coach who wants to gain a deeper level of understanding of how you influence the coaching experience for your clients and how this can lead to more effective coaching practice’.

‘Trish is an excellent coach supervisor. She provides both support and challenge and is able to open up other's creativity and insight. Every conversation I had with Trish provided me with something fresh’.

‘I always come away from our session feeling re-energised and focussed on the task in hand. Trish has a great calming influence on what is often a choppy sea’.

‘Trish manages to illuminate your 'blind spots'. With insightful questions and relevant metaphors and parallels Trish allows you to find the answers that are right for you, and often right in front of you. The impact on my performance, after only a couple of session has been immeasurable - her gentle questioning has changed the way I think, and more than that, has led to me taking the action to do what I've always wanted to do - write a book’.

My experience includes working for local authorities (Richmond and Hounslow), the NHS, Social Services and in Further Education. I have trained counsellors and am an approved supervisor for the Metanoia Institute's Person-Centred department.

I am the author of BACP's Information Sheet G8 'Counselling Asylum Seekers and Refugees'. I was accredited through the Independent Practitioner Network process through my ongoing participation in a full member group and have subsequently become UKCP registered. I have a Masters in Psychotherapy from Middlesex University and describe myself as a Person-Centred Jungian. I am particularly interested in the overlap between ancient healing traditions and modern depth psychology.

At the heart of my supervision practice is a ‘co-created reflective learning space’,  where we surface data, reflect and make meaning of enquiries together – everything is welcomed into the room.

What my clients say:

Through empathy, challenge, no judgement, and her willingness to be vulnerable, she creates the perfect environment for learning.

She is an exceptional supervisor with a real depth and breadth of knowledge and experience. She creates and holds a space, free from judgement, where you feel safe to discover more about yourself and your practice. In each session I take great learnings about my self-awareness and growth as a coach.

The learning I’ve taken from every session has without doubt enhanced my self-awareness and growth in my practice..

My passion is in learning and helping others learn.

For all my qualifications and further faculty experience please visit my website.

I work in the fields of attachment and trauma, psychotherapy, counselling, arts therapies, supervision, family coaching, and therapeutic parenting. I’m currently furthering my knowledge in the areas of neuroscience, polyvagal theory and sensory integration alongside my lifelong passion for healthy relating with self and other. I enjoy the supervisory role and the CSTD model.

My ethos is simple and applies to all of my therapeutic, training and consultation services: my work is based on a deep respect for the person/people I am working with, alongside a commitment to empowering individuals to explore their own understandings and make their own choices. I particularly emphasise the importance of dialogue, connection and relationship in all of my work.

My framework is pluralistic, my training is integrative, and my ethics are humanistic – prioritising respect, creativity and collaboration in all therapeutic endeavours. My primary training is in integrative arts psychotherapy. Additional training includes – Dyadic Developmental Practice; Brain Based Parenting; Attachment; Supervision; Systemic Therapy; Autism; Self-regulation; PACE; Psychosynthesis; Sensory Integration; Life Coaching; Process Experiential Therapy; EMDR and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.

I offer supervision for psychotherapists, counsellors and any practitioners working with young people, adults and families. I draw on my original training in integrative arts psychotherapy, as well as experiences of working in the fields of attachment, family work, abuse and trauma. My approach is pluralistic, flexible and creative and I aim to forge a strong working alliance with each supervisee. We can co-create a supervisory relationship that facilitates learning and growth, and enables the supervisee to be supported and challenged in their work.

I enjoy working with practitioners from a range of theoretical backgrounds. I can offer ‘training supervision’ for those who, in additional to clinical supervision, are wanting to learn more about working therapeutically with children, working therapeutically with the arts, and/or working in the field of therapeutic parenting/attachment.

I am very happy to work with pairs of practitioners to enhance the supervisory experience with peer discussion and co-learning, and also offer group supervision.

I am registered with Institute for Arts in Therapy and Education to offer supervision to students studying for their Diploma in Integrative Arts Psychotherapy.

Mentoring

I offer mentoring for workers in related fields such as social work or teaching, who wish to engage in therapeutic thinking and to have their practice supported by therapeutic models.

Do you have more than one string to your bow? I love working with integrative practitioners and multiskilled therapists, helping them honour all they have to offer, better support their clients and work more effectively, ethically, creatively and collaboratively. I see integrative clinical supervision as not only a professional and ethical requirement but an essential form of self-care.

My practice, supporting clients by working with mind, body, heart and soul, has evolved since 2004. When I first qualified as a psychosynthesis counsellor, I struggled to find supervision that held my coaching and other therapies as well as the counselling.

My involvement, from 2014 to 2019, on BACP’s Coaching Executive (initially as Communications Specialist and, from January 2017 to November 2018, as Chair for BACP Coaching) and my post graduate training in integrative counselling and coaching helped me learn to integrate the therapies more effectively, ethically and collaboratively.

I trained as an integrative clinical supervisor with CSTD London to enable me to offer supervision for integrative counsellors, coaches, yoga therapists, EFT practitioners and multiskilled therapists.

Joan and Robin’s creative approach and 7 Eyed Model for supervision supports my overall practice.

I specialise in supporting practitioners who offer more than traditional talk therapy. Maybe you integrate coaching, body work like yoga or energy psychologies like EFT and NLP?

As well as being a certified integrative clinical supervisor, I’m a counsellor, life coach, therapeutic coach, yoga therapist, NLP Master Practitioner, certified and accredited Advanced EFT Practitioner and mentor and a crystal therapist.

I'm the author of 365 Ways to Feel Better: Self-Care Ideas for Embodied Wellbeing (White Owl, 2017). Click here https://selfcarecoaching.net/about for more information about my background, experience and qualifications.

While you may still need specialist supervision for areas of your practice I’m not qualified in, I can support you in holding your whole practice. I can help you reflect on your overall practice as well as on yourself as an integrative practitioner and, of course, your clients and supervisees.

I completed my core training in 2011, gaining a CPCAB L4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. My model is integrative, drawing on humanistic and psychodynamic theory. I subsequently did CBT training to complement my work.

I have an interest in couples work and have done a certificate in couples counselling (2014) as well as further training with Tavistock Relationships, completing a certificate in couples counselling for depression (2017)
I have been a BACP Accredited psychotherapist since 2013.

I am a manager of a counselling charity and have extensive experience in assessing, allocating and line managing student & qualified counsellors. I also have experience of working with an IAPT service, sexual abuse/trauma agency and a local hospice.

I took several years to complete the Certificate in Supervision with CSTD as I wanted to spend time practising and processing the learning on the course, which was invaluable.

I originally worked in the creative fields of television and video for many years, but have been managing counselling organisations in the addictions field since 2000. The organisational dynamics within the caring professions are complex and my work experience to date has equipped me with a deep understanding of the pressures of working in a range of sectors, including charities, the private sector and the NHS.

I have also been practising as an Existential psychotherapist since 1999 and am registered with the UKCP. Working within the addictions field requires me to follow a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy model of working, which is effective for people suffering from addiction and short-term work.

I provide supervision for practising and trainee counsellors, psychotherapists, coaches and anyone working in the mental health field and caring professions. As a therapist I work with both short-term and open-ended contracts and so can support supervisees working within either or both.

In appreciating my own experiences of clinical supervision I believe in a collaboration that supports and promotes my supervisees' individuality while providing opportunities for development. Importantly I aim to provide a safe space for the exploration of anything that happens during or in response to a session.

Relevant Professional Qualifications:
My main therapy training was at The Minster Centre where I qualified with an MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling (Middlesex University) and an Advanced Diploma.
I also have knowledge of the neurological differences of ADD / ADHD, dyslexia and other similar syndromes. In these areas I have a Diploma in Specific Learning Difficulties (Dyslexia) and a Certificate in Coaching (AD/HD).

Many years ago I trained and worked at a local hospice as a bereavement counsellor.

I am a qualified executive coach and supervisor and I have extensive experience of working with senior teams and bringing out talent at all levels within an organisation. I have a keen interest in the behavioural aspects of executive and board development, which is supported by over 30 years’ experience as an executive coach.

I have trained and worked in the field of psychotherapy and counselling for over 15 years, and have experience in diverse areas. I have registered with United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapists (UKCP) from 2000 until 2008 when I closed my private practice to concentrate on clinical supervision. However, I am a member of British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and remain committed to promote the ethical framework to protect clients and therapists.

I have also worked as a Lecturer in a local College where I provided training and education for trainee counsellors. Previous experience includes providing in-house training in bereavement and loss and working with Cruse Bereavement Care providing training and supervision for their volunteer counsellors.

Now semi retired I have decided to concentrate on the support and well being of counsellors and psychotherapists and can also offer pastoral care and mentoring.

Experience/Qualifications including CSTD courses:
I have extensive experience in supervising trainee and qualified psychotherapists and counsellors, and other supervisors. I work both individually and in groups.

I have my supervision certificate from Centre for Supervision and Team Development and have attended many of their CPD training days as well as being in a closed supervision group with Robin Shohet for a number of years. Supervision has always been an integral part of my own practice as a therapist and supervisor. I receive professional supervision as well as being part of peer supervisory relationships.

I agree strongly with the definition of supervision as being: 'a joint endeavour in which a practitioner with the help of a supervisor, attends to their clients, themselves as part of their client practitioner relationships and the wider systemic context, and by so doing improves the quality of their work, transforms their client relationships, continuously develops themselves, their practice and the wider profession' (Hawkins & Shohet: Supervision in the Helping Professions, p. 60) I see supervision as a collaborative and creative endeavour. Just like the therapeutic relationship it is based on trust, reflection and exploration.

I use the 7-Eyed Model of supervision as a basis for looking at the different dynamics that may be at play. I am also happy to give particular attention to psychodynamic or humanistic / person centred modalities. Additionally I have some knowledge of systemic theory, CBT and EFT. I increasingly use a focusing stance in supervision, tuning into the felt sense of what’s presenting. In this way an issue can be looked at from many different angles, often creating more space and possibility of understanding to find a way forward. I am finding that focusing perfectly complements the approach adopted by CSTD.

I offer some concessions to trainees and newly qualified therapists. I offer group supervision by arrangement.

Focusing
The mission statement of The International Focusing Institute begins with the question 'Why Focusing?' and gives this answer:

Everyone has the potential to access and live from their unique bodily-felt knowing. Focusing, a process grounded in experiential listening, is a powerful way of interacting with this body-felt knowing that leads to mutual respect, authenticity and compassion. In this way, Focusing fosters peace and harmony in the world.

Focusing shows how to pause the on-going situation and create a space for new possibilities for carrying forward. This practice, developed from the Philosophy of the Implicit, shows how to apply open attention to something which is directly experienced but is not in words.

Your body knows more about situations than you are explicitly aware of. For example, your body picks up more about another person than you consciously know (this is not the same as counter transference/projective identification). With some training, you can get a bodily feel for the 'more' that is happening in any situation. From that bodily feel come small steps that lead toward resolution.

Previous Experience
I had a previous career as a solicitor in the banking sector of the City of London

I have been offering Supervision as part of my work since 2013, as I travel down the helping road I become more interested in the dynamic that can arise in relationship. The mirrors that we offer each other and the healing that can occur as a result of our courage and willingness to experience what may be hidden often delights me – even if we have to swim through the seas of confusion to reach the jewels of clarity.

My specialist area is working with those who offer services to people with addiction. As someone who has first hand experience with this cycle and who teaches others to work effectively with the client group, I feel that I have much to offer those who are actively working in the field.

My training with Joan Wilmot and Robin Shohet at CSTD London and with Heather Mason at the Minded Institute has given me a strong grounding in psychotherapeutic holding techniques for the helper.

I have been working to deliver yoga and relaxation since 2009. During my Yoga Therapy training, I studied the neurobiology of mental health and this greatly influenced my understanding of vulnerable minds as both a physiological and a psychological process, giving me the ability work with efficacy and compassion.

I have created a 200HR Yoga Teacher Training course, 100HR Neurobiology, Mental Health and Meditation training and Yoga Therapy for Addictions CPD course. The courses either offer supervision or mentoring support while students are on the journey or working in the field.

I offer online therapeutic or group supervision sessions that lean upon the seven eyed model and utilises aspects of yoga therapy where appropriate.

A fusion of these two techniques provide a particularly powerful combination that can ultimately allow the supervisee to discharge residues of attunement that may be held in the body of the helper.

Experience/Qualifications
Yoga Therapist C-IAYT
Senior Yoga Teacher with YAP
200 hour TTC & CPD course creator
Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention facilitator

I work with immediacy and transparency using the 7 eyed model to get to the relationship with the client, supervisee and me. The aim is to bring these relationships in to the room in the here and now. We then look at what is happening, what is being said and not said and what is always there but not named.  I am happy to offer a reduced rate for supervisors in training.

I have been a supervisor for over 15 years and have a deep passion for this work. It is a practice that provides clarity and insight, and new development. You can wake me up in the middle of the night for a good supervision conversation. I was trained at CSTD, and I take regular courses and supervision to support my own ongoing learning. A long background in Buddhism and mindfulness also informs my work. It has helped me to be more present in listening and speaking, and to work from a place of curiosity and exploration rather than focus on problem-and-solution only. It may require more courage to explore new places, but it can be moe exciting, offer more growth - and allow for some lightness and humour in the sessions.

Testimonials from people I worked with:

‘I very much appreciated the safety in your sessions. I loved your open and non-judgemental attitude, which made it possible for me to explore my work in many different and helpful ways.’

‘Thank you for your clear, sharp and compassionate supervisions. In the sessions, I felt both supported and challenged. I loved your humour, too. ‘

‘I often come away from our sessions with a new perspective on the themes I bring. It is wonderful to have a place where I can explore issues and get relevant questions and feedback. Many sessions have brought me to a deeper understanding of the work I do – and have changed the way I do it.’

‘Thank you for your great clarity which helped me to reflect on things that go well, and also discover blind spots and habits that were less effective in my work, leading to more insight in the different dynamics at play in my team. I felt hugely supported in trying out new approaches.'

I am an Integrative Existential Supervisor with Psychodynamic, Existential Analytical, Psychosexual and general Relational approach training. I have worked as a Psychotherapist with children, adolescents, adults, couples and family groups in the fields of Youth Justice, Mental Health, Education, Organisations and Hospital setting in the areas of most emotional and mental health issues, including parenting.

I believe that all human beings have the capacity to reach their full potential regardless of upbringing, culture of origin, gender, age and any other aspect of diversity.

I have many years experience working with people with a wide range of mental health problems and have learned how each individual is unique and how different people may benefit from different approaches to tackling their difficulties.

My professional development as a therapist, trainer and supervisor has been informed by these values and this is reflected in my choices for my own training, supervision and development.

I have training in various modalities of therapeutic work including person-centred counselling, core process psychotherapy, CBT, family and systemic practice, group analysis, pre- and Perinatal psychology and professional supervisor with CSTD. During my career I have gained experience working with people with eating disorders, people with experiences of severe abuse in childhood, people with terminal illness and with students as a counsellor at the University of Plymouth. I work with individuals, couples and families, I offer both long-term therapy and shorter term therapy (for EAP programmes, for instance).

As a trainer, I have written and conducted counselling courses at diploma level and run courses in Mindfulness and Meditation.

My early career was spent working as a manager for a large utility company, where I gained valuable business experience.

In new premises, an ex-GP surgery, I have established a centre for counselling and psychotherapy practice. This centre - the Waterloo Wellbeing Centre – offers psychotherapy, counselling, mindfulness training and counselling training. The Centre is available for hire for training events, talks and workshops for those in the helping and healthcare professions.

I have been working as a supervisor for many years and am able to offer individual and group supervision to people in the counselling, psychotherapy and health care professions. To discuss your supervision requirements please contact me.

I enjoy incorporating Gestalt principles into my practice, fostering relational depth, and utilising a personable and creative style of working. I am passionate about witnessing people experience positive change and I feel incredibly fortunate to work in a field where I can retain passion and care for individuals, alongside engaging with the ever-expanding research to update my knowledge and practice.

I currently work for a global majority organisation as a specialist trauma therapist and use EMDR with some clients. I am committed to anti-oppressive practices in my counselling work. I strive to create a safe and inclusive space where individuals feel valued and respected to explore their experiences without fear of judgment or discrimination. I teach on the BA (Hons) at Kingston College, providing instruction on theory, counselling, and facilitating self-awareness and interpersonal relationship dynamics.

I have also worked for Employment Assistant Counselling Services, addiction services, the charity RNIB, offering counselling and group facilitation on disability and loss. In private practice, I offer counselling and supervision services to clients across a range of presenting issues. I run reflective practice groups for support workers in various organisations as well as supervising counsellors one to one in private practice/organisations and supervise trainee counsellors. I adhere to ethical guidelines and regulations set by the BACP and EMDRUK.

I am committed to continuous professional development and undertaken courses and workshops to enhance my knowledge and skills in various areas of counselling practice.

With a strong commitment to ethical practice and continuous professional development, I bring a wealth of experience, compassion, and expertise to support growth and well-being. I very much enjoyed the supervision training offered by CSTD. I hold a position of recognising our fear, developing connection and allowing space for us to work together with curiosity and creativity to deepen understanding of the counselling work.

What is offered:
1.  Reflective and integrative supervision to qualified and trainee therapists
2. Consultative sessions for qualified and trainee supervisors
3. Clinical supervision for practitioners in other caring professions i.e. Osteopathy, Massage therapy, Social work

How I work: I listen to what people tell me and to what is absent from their story; to what people say in words and to what their bodies express. I hope to contribute to a culture that encourages normalizing talking openly about failure and a sense of professional inadequacy as an unavoidable part of being in this work. I am interested in how power (the capacity to have an impact) is gained and lost in our work and in our culture.

Who I work with: I am experienced in supervising trainees and qualified counsellors, psychotherapists and coaches who work with adults as well as alternative practitioners and other facilitators of change.

Past and other experience: My earlier work included working with homeless men and those afflicted by Alzheimers. I have run groups for people wishing to cease participating in intimate violence as well as managing a successful private business. Past posts include Chair of the Chiron Association for Body Psychotherapists Ethics and Equal Opportunities Committee. I am bilingual and fluent in both English and Hebrew. I am the current co-director of Relational Spaces - offering supportive environments from which clinicians can work, train, collaborate and engage in culturally and clinically relevant learning communities.

Amy Skezas JD, DD. I have taken the CSTD courses Core, Therapeutic, Group, Teams & Organizations, Differences, and Advanced as well as Training the Trainers.

Since 2005 I've worked and played with my colleague Joseph Hiller in the USA to design and deliver a series of trainings in renewal and reflective practice based on the CSTD model, mixed with original awareness/consciousness exercises to increase the fluidity and luminosity of the awareness brought to supervision by the presenter, the facilitator, and the observer(s). We are co-creating a peer-to-peer supervision network and a culture of supervision for helping professionals from a variety of walks of service (many of whom have not heard of/practised supervision before).

My educational background includes degrees in international relations and law, ongoing practice and exploration in yoga, meditation, and martial arts, interfaith studies with a particular focus on Native American shamanism, Tibetan Buddhism, and Christianity, and study and practice of a wide variety of bodywork methods. I teach meditation and bodywork as well as supervision.

When I work with people I focus on helping them:-
* More clearly access their own inner, intuitive higher guidance
* Balance their emotions, thoughts, and physical body
* Access greater joy and flow through their learning
* Reflect on and appreciate the ways they are powerful and creative

I have extensive experience working with individual clients with a range of emotional difficulties. I also have over 5 years experience as manager of a low cost counselling service and over 10 years experience of offering supervision in a wide variety of settings.
BA Hons, PhD, MSc Counselling Psychology, Chartered Counselling Psychologist, BPS accredited supervisor, CSTD Certificate.

I specialise in offering supervision to complimentary therapists, group facilitators, and spiritual care practioners of all kinds. I bring a spiritual perspective, working with the essence of what draws you to your work and what sustains you in it.
Supervision is a place where you can share your fears and worries about your work, where it is safe to express doubts, mistakes and misgivings, where nothing is unspeakable and where you will not be judged. I undertake to meet you always with acceptance, kindness and clarity.

I am a trauma-informed integrative psychotherapist (BACP accredited) and supervisor. Having qualified as a therapist in 2018, I set up my private practice in 2022. I gained a Certificate in Supervision from CSTD in February 2024.

I believe that supervision offers practitioners a space to pause and slow down, to be given a safe place to reflect with depth on our relationships with clients, to review our skills and areas for development, enhance our confidence in our practice and consider our own self-care needs - all in the service of the people we are supporting.

My experience: I have experience of providing supervision, coaching and training to individuals, groups and teams in the care & support, not for profit and social housing sectors. I have now transformed that experience to offer clinical supervision to students, experienced therapists and groups. I am able to work with supervisees from diverse backgrounds, working in a variety of settings and with different modalities.

My approach: using CSTD’s seven eyed model as the framework, I work carefully with respect to each supervisee’s own modality. I have found that supervisees often chose me on the basis of my approach as a therapist, where I take a trauma-informed approach, mixing humanistic modalities with psychodynamic, inner child / family work and somatic practices, such as mindfulness and breathwork.

Particular area of interest: as a therapist, I work with people who are preparing for or integrating experiences of working with psychedelics (in a variety of settings, therapeutic, recreational and spiritual).  I am therefore interested in providing supervision to other therapists who are working in this area.

My practice is supported by my own regular in-depth integrative and trauma-informed individual and peer group supervision, as well as my personal mindfulness and somatic practices.

I am a professional coach and dual-qualified supervisor (my second supervision training was with the Coaching Supervision Academy), and I support practitioners to reflect on themselves alongside the important work they do. I am open to supporting anyone from any discipline, and my background could be one reason to experience supervision in a different way with me! As a former accountant and lawyer myself, part of my supervision work is with current and former lawyers who have transitioned (all or part of) their work to another helping profession.

Susan McGrath BSc MSc PGDip MBACP

As well as counselling and training I have supervised placement students on both PhD and Diploma Counselling courses as well as practising therapists.

Professional Qualifications: My original training was in Psychosynthesis and the process and experiential focus of the CSTD training fit well with this way of working. I supervise students on the Psychosynthesis Diploma course at Re-vision, London. I have also trained in Psychodynamic Adolescent Therapy (WPF), Relate Couples Therapy, Eco-psychology and Energy Psychotherapy.

I have been lucky to experience excellent clinical supervision for my own work and I am passionate about creating a space to allow the sacredness of therapy to be nurtured and for this to inform practice.

Psychotherapist, UKCP (Regd.) MBACP (Accred). MA Psychotherapy and Counselling, Cert. Supervision, Dip SW, Adv. practitioner MET.

I offer individual and group supervision to staff, students and volunteers who work with adults and young people. Current work includes supervising Counsellors, Youth and Community Workers, Support Workers and Mental Health Workers. I also regularly deliver staff development training in the public and private sectors and facilitate groups and workshops in community, educational and private settings.

I believe supervision is crucial in a wide range of professions. I provide opportunities for practitioners to resource, develop and support themselves as well as ensuring safe and effective practice. I have over twelve years experience supervising and draw upon extensive practice experience working with individuals, groups and organizations. Previous work includes counselling in a GP surgery, youth agency and business sector organisations. I am a qualified Social Worker and Youth & Community Worker and have developed a range of projects in youth and community work, training and educational settings.

I hold MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling through the CCPE, as well as an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling. I am a UKCP registered Psychotherapist and am also accredited by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I abide by their professional standards. I have undertaken additional training in Supervision, Groupwork and Energy Psychology.

In supervision I draw on creative arts methods, imagination and playfulness as core aids to loosening up fixed views and broadening perspectives. The CSTD supervision training encouraged a transparency of approach that I found liberating and continues to influence my work. I am particularly interested in group work and the power of groups to be supportive, creative spaces when all aspects of group dynamics can be expressed openly.

CSTD Supervision Certificate - The Seven-Eyed Model

With my 15 years’ experience delivering counselling to a diverse client group and the last 5 years providing peer and individual supervision. I’m able to actively support and develop counsellor’s work with their clients, to aid counsellors to improve and enhance their client work.

My supervisor is Dr. Isha Mckenzie-Mavinga

I set up and run Ealing Counselling Service working with a diverse client groups.

I am a UKCP registered Core Process Psychotherapist; recognised supervisor and training supervisor. In addition, a deep well of people focused work experiences in social care, health and education, enriches my offering as a supervisor. Whilst mindful embodied relational enquiry is the ground of my practice, the lens of the Seven-Eyed Model creatively enlivens and extends this.

I am a qualified and accredited Humanistic counsellor and supervisor trained in the 7-eyed model of supervision.

I take great delight in witnessing how the 7-eyed model evolves and seeing the relationship between client, supervisee and supervisor develop.

I have experience working with both groups and 1 to 1 supervisees'

I offer a free 30 minute consultaion to talk about your needs for supervision. I can offer face-to-face in Horsham, West Sussex, online or telephone.

I have a Senior Practitioner Diploma in Supervision from the Centre for Supervision and Team Development, London.

As a supervisor, I am committed to supporting therapists to empower themselves and to maximise their potential while working with clients. My approach is integrative drawing on many different models as seem appropriate and utilising the methods gleaned throughout my years of experience as a supervisor and as a psychosynthesis therapist. I also sometimes include creative skills from my career as an actor incorporating improvisation and drama into my supervision work.

I am Registered with UKCP and BACP as a supervisor. I supervise qualified practitioners and trainees who have a predominantly Humanistic style (including those on Integrative courses). I have taught Person-centred Counselling although my core modality is Gestalt.

My philosophy and style as a supervisor have emerged from both my broad work experience (in the voluntary sector, public sector, school teaching, NHS Primary Care, University sector and for a Police Force) and also from my personal journey (on which music and the arts and Buddhist philosophy and practice have made a deep impression).

My supervision style is an integration of my pedagogic skills, creativity and curiosity, combined with faith in 'and lived experience of' gestalt theory and practice. I aim to balance my confidence and experience with the humility of finding myself always a learner too. I look to balance the supportive, educative and managerial aspects of supervision and to emphasise the aspect which most fits the circumstances. I pay attention to building a supervisory alliance through open communication and seek to model willingness to hear and engage with difficulties while maintaining resilience and valuing the ongoing relationship.

My fee for Supervision is £50 (£45 for Trainees)

Dr David Owen

I supervise individuals and teams and have been blending supervisory and coaching tools mainly for health professionals and particularly for doctors since 1995 . I am interested in working with those who see supervision as transformative for them and essential for their professional development aswell as supporting their clients or patients. I am passionate about embedding regular, career long supervision for all health professionals including doctors.

I co-edited with Robin Shohet 'Clinical Supervision in the Medical Profession' (Open University Press) and have contributed chapters to "Passionate Supervision' and Passionate Medicine", edited by Robin and published by Jessica Kingsley. I am a coach with the faculty of medical leadership and management and deliver supervision training to GP trainers.

I integrate 'supervisory and coaching tools' into consultancy for organisations working both remotely and face to face in London and Wessex.

I’m fascinated by the question of who we are,  how this impacts how we supervise and which parts of us are evoked or called forth in our work. I have a person-centred approach drawing on an eclectic mix of theories and frameworks. I like to work at relational depth and explore what we learn about ourselves by reflecting on our work with clients.

Below are some testimonies from supervision clients:

A sincere thank you. These sessions were rich, insightful and of huge benefit to me, in terms of my own development as a coach. The creative input of new approaches and tested techniques was much appreciated. Chris demonstrated he is a gifted and effective coach and a masterful supervisor, and I am fortunate to have benefited from his skills and experience, and the support of a wonderful group.

I loved supervision space that Chris provided - relaxed, with no rush, very different from what we experience in our daily lives. I felt supported and listened to. I learned immense amount about coaching profession and myself as a coach during these sessions. Chris often used creative exercises to get thinking going and it helped to see that supervision (and coaching) can be light-hearted and at the same time very human. Our group was very diverse - from different corners of the world - and during the supervision it was amazing to see how the group could support each other even with most difficult cases. This supervision experience brought me back to love and respect coaching as profession, to love and respect coaching community and, importantly, to love and respect my clients’ choices. Thank you 

I recently completed a supervision group with Chris and found he created a safe, collaborative and supportive environment to explore our challenges as coaches.  Chris has a warm presence that invites openness and vulnerability.  He uses creative techniques to explore cases and challenges from different angles that were effective in bringing in new perspectives and support us as coaches to overcome blocks.  Through Chris’s supervision I have learned to feel comfortable being more direct with clients when reflecting back vulnerabilities I am seeing to deepen the coaching relationships.  I greatly appreciate the supervision opportunity with Chris.

I felt held, understood and challenged at the same time. I learnt a lot from each session. I valued seeing different ways of tackling an issue or obstacle. There is so much and at the same time, when we return to ourselves, we know what is the best way. I sometimes asked the question and when Chris returned the question to me and I took a moment to pause and trust myself, I came with a very clear answer and the questions become obsolete like magic. I felt stronger at handling “difficult” clients or coaching conversations. I feel more confident because I had the privilege to hear the struggles from other coaches as well. “I am not alone”, “it is not about me”

Supervision with Chris is such an opportunity of learning and growth. Growth from observing how he holds each one with such gentleness, yet challenging enough to stimulate reflection and deeper knowledge of oneself. Learning as in the process of investigating a topic, for instance, his genuine curiosity and space that he creates to go deeper in our own motivations, feelings, thoughts, etc. allows us to witness while we learn about ourselves. Another aspect that I truly appreciated was the time management without ever feeling we were rushing or not going deeper into one topic because of time constraints. 

Chris is an excellent supervisor, calm, reassuring and working to ensure that the group progresses and develops. He always leaves space for everyone to express themselves and ensures that each session is a learning experience for each individual as well as for the group as a whole. For me, it has been of great value because thanks to these sessions, I was able to question my own practice and learn from the experiences of other coaches in the group, enhancing my own practice. If gave me more self-confidence to build my business as a coach.

I trained in integrative and psychodynamic psychotherapy and counselling at the Minster Centre after being a teacher for many years. I also trained in an expressive arts therapy, Voice Movement Therapy, and have worked in this field for twenty years.

In my therapy work I can include a number of approaches : psychoanalytic; Jungian and shamanistic biased creative, imaginal art work; body work and CBT.

I have worked extensively with people with neurological impairments through Hammersmith and Fulham MS Society.

I have a deep awareness of and experience of working with trauma and shame.

I am fascinated by the ongoing development of counselling and the reflection and connection that come about through Supervision. I work continually to develop an up to date pluralistic practice.Integrative Counselling Diploma. Certificate in Supervision.

My experience has included many years of team based work in a clinical setting, with clients suffering from a wide range of illness and mental health conditions. I have also worked in a residential care home for adults with disabilities and currently work in a school, providing art therapy for children.
I have taught art therapy and mentored students in a variety of contexts.

I enjoy the diversity of therapeutic styles and for me it is very important to support the supervisee in their own individual approach to therapy.

I prefer face to face supervision but also use Skype and other media.

Why you are offering this service:
I am truly passionate about supervision. I have been supervising in my role with the local authority for over two and a half years now and have had the pleasure of being part of the development of over 30 students to date.  I enjoy working with individual counsellors, psychotherapists and social workers as well as teachers. I also facilitate supervision groups within my role. I believe in the importance of reflective supervision for everyone working with people; it keeps the professional grounded, authentic, facilitates the adoption of a learning mind and it reveals the hidden parts/dynamics to help us work more authentically and deeper with others. Curiosity is the gift that supervisors can bring to the supervisory relationship which can impart a joy and wonder in the work of therapy.

What supervision you have in place for your supervision:
I have monthly supervision with a CSTD qualified supervisor.

Anything else you would like to be known about your work:
This is my passion in a nutshell.. creation of the free space...

“Supervision is the creation of that free space where the supervisee lets herself tell back so that she hears herself afresh and invents in imagination how she can best be for her client in their next session. (Houston 1990)”

With a background as a professional musician, I'm a sensitive, attentive and attuned listener. I bring a warm, gentle and enabling presence to my work with clients and supervisees. My experience as a therapist goes back to early 2015 and as a supervisor to early 2022.

I welcome enquiries from other therapists and from anyone involved in pastoral, mentoring, therapeutic, supportive or caring roles. I offer a free introductory session so we can explore your needs from supervision and see how we might work together.

How my Psychotherapy and Supervision practice evolved

Therapeutic Journey
At the age of 37 I underwent a very messy divorce and required some long-term counselling to understand my part in what had gone wrong with my marriage and find a way forward again.

My personal counselling was highly beneficial, and I realised the power and value of good therapy. So, like many effective therapists, I became a “Wounded Healer”, with a desire to do for my clients what my therapist had done for me.

By the age of 38 I embarked on a 2-year Integrative Diploma in Counselling. This was a transformative time and I had finally found my vocation in life. Qualifying with Merit, at the age of 40, I set about building my new career.

Initially, I was working towards my BACP accreditation which required a lot of supervised voluntary work and further training in couples therapy, solution focussed brief therapy and bereavement work. I was also working full time as a customer services manager.

In 2010 I started working for PPC (now Optum Health) in Oxford as a Telephone Counsellor. This involved assessing clinical risk and providing short term therapy sessions to corporate clients. I was now working with some highly qualified Psychotherapists and had excellent clinical supervision and training.

In 2013 I trained in Attachment Focussed Therapy and began working with LINK/Barnardo’s working with adoption issues and couples adopting children.

In 2014 I attended a summer school in brief solution focussed therapy.

For 2 years (2016-2018) I studied for a Certificate in Supervision with Robin Shohet (Author of Supervision in the helping professions).

In 2019 I began to study for a certificate in EMDR and I am now working with clients suffering with PTSD. I am also working towards my accreditation in this field with a view to becoming a consultant within the next 5 years.

I am currently working towards my accreditation in couples/relationship therapy. Please contact me if you would like to discuss your supervision requirements.

Supervision can be insightful and revealing, helping us not only with our clients and their issues, but also with different perspectives into ourselves, and our ways of relating. It can help us to explore what really matters.

As an Interfaith Minister, Spiritual Counsellor, and Supervisor, my aim is to co-create ceremonies, counsel and supervise in a caring, enquiring and empowering way.

B.Sc. (Psychology), B.Ed. (Education), Ordained Interfaith Minister and Spiritual Counsellor (OneSpirit Interfaith Foundation), Certificate in Supervision (CSTD)

I supervise

• Newly qualified coaches working in any context as they begin forming their identity as a practitioner and developing their practice.
• Independent coaches from many backgrounds as they develop their skills & experience.
• Coaches from internal organisational coaching pools as they balance many different awareness’s.
• Health practitioners as they engage with their patients,
• Leaders/managers in their work with their teams.

I am based on the south coast and supervise individuals and groups, although I regularly work on the phone, and by various virtual mediums in addition to in person.

I work across sectors; charitable, corporate, health and also with individuals.  As a student of the Vision Quest, Depth Psychology informs all of my work.  My intention is always to hear the story and witness the person as I walk beside them to be the best version of themselves they can be.

MSc in Contemporary Person-Centred Psychotherapy & Applications, Supervision Certification, PG Dip Psychotherapy, PG Dip in Adolescent and School Counselling, online counselling,

I am a UKCP registered psychotherapist and supervisor. I have been working with clients for 11 years and worked in youth, school and university counselling services seeing clients short and long-term 1-1.

I run various wellbeing and support groups. I am currently working as a private psychotherapist, supervisor and trainer.

I provide a confidential space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings and experiences to gain a clearer perspective of their lives. I believe in working in a holistic way that embraces the whole person and their unique life experiences and journey. I believe that understanding, and self-compassion can soften critical or limiting voices and help clients create new, more helpful behaviours and ways of being. I try and help clients see overwhelming situations in a clear and manageable way and to cultivate confidence, self-acceptance and the courage to realise potential and make the changes you want.

My supervision style is in keeping with the person-centred approach and believe supervision to be a broad remit and encourage supervisees to bring anything they feel influences their client work. I use the 7-eyed model of supervision, with a focus on interpersonal relationships, collaboration and the therapeutic alliance.

I have been a supervisor since 1972 and a psychotherapist since 1980. I supervise individuals and groups and have run supervision trainings since 1979. I am a therapist for Step in ASAP; Advancing Stepfamily Awareness in Practice for people in stepfamily situations and those who work with them. Therapy, counselling, supervision, groups and CPD www.stepinasap.co.uk

We spend much of our time in work and I believe along with Confucius "Find a job you love and you will never have to work again". I think having supervision for our work, whatever it is, leads to finding the work we love or loving the work we do. I find supervision a wonderful forum in which to examine our core beliefs about ourselves and work and in doing so change our thinking not only about work but also about how we live.

I have written about supervision in the CSTD book, Supervision in the Helping Professions: Hawkins, P. Shohet R with contributions by Ryde J. and Wilmot; in Passionate Supervision ed Shohet R. chapter 5 The Supervisory Relationship: in Supervision as Transformation A Life long calling; in Supervision as Transformation chapter 4 and in Training and Supervision for Counselling in Action: ed Dryden W. Thorne B. The Key Issue in the Supervision of counsellors.

As a supervisor, I have had experience with individuals, groups and teams. I have worked with a varied array of people and organisations including employees from several London boroughs, Youth Services, the NHS and independent charities. My particular interest is in how supervision, and reflective practice as a whole, can be utilised beyond its therapeutic and clinical roots.

As a trainer, I have created and delivered workshops in Emotional Intelligence and Life Skills. I currently delivers supervision training, including for CSTD London. I have supervised and evaluated youth work students and has written about my early experience of supervising in ‘Passionate Supervision’ (ed. Shohet R. Chapter 6, The Born Again Supervisor - Jessica Kingsley Publications 2008).
