A Space to Explore your Clinical Work
I offer a space for psychotherapists and counsellors to explore their clinical work.
My own therapy practice informs my work as supervisor and includes ongoing exploration of working with therapeutic presence and understanding embodiment through relational mindfulness and group work. I have an ongoing interest in the potency of self implication and the potential of authentic relating that may support a ‘rewilding’ of therapy and a letting go of fixed, old paradigms that may not be in service of what is needed now in a world facing climate collapse and increasing collective suffering.
I have an interest in psychodynamic and analytic theory including Object Relations Theory, Attachment Theory, understanding of transference through relational analysis and intersubjectivity and Modern Dharmic (Buddhist) perspectives to clinical work. I also draw inspiration from a transpersonal perspective from the body of work of A H Almaas and Diamond Approach.
Low Cost Supervision Offered
I am completing the final stage of a supervision diploma entitled ‘Supervision with Soul’ at Re-vision (London), and am offering low-cost supervision for a time longer. This two year training in guided community has supported me in exploring imaginal and relational perspectives to clinical work in my transition to being a ‘recognised supervisor’ with the UKCP.
The training has included an exploration of clinical work through a broader ecology of the relational field in terms of recognising unconscious and parallel processes that can arise energetically, for example how a client’s inner experience may influence the way the therapist brings the client to supervision and how the dynamics in the therapeutic relationship may lead to parallels in the supervisory one. Drawing such parallels can add creativity and deeper understanding to what may be going on in the the therapy.
The supervision I offer includes support and encouragement for the therapist to explore their own ‘edges’ and unconscious material (such as anxieties) that can arise in the work and to explore this with a body oriented approach that can be grounding. My aim here is to collaborate with my supervisees in helping them to explore their work and a space that offers them renewed orientation and inspiration in their work where needed.
All my supervision work is clinically supervised by an experienced clinical supervisor (UKCP). Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
