‘Creative supervision involves thinking creatively and facilitating creative thought and creative action both in the supervision session and in the field’ 

– Anna Chesner

Supervision

I am a trained clinical supervisor with an additional qualification in Creative Supervision.

I offer a warm and supportive relationship within which you can reflect on the challenges and dilemmas of the work you are doing. Together we can monitor and safeguard the interests of your clients and enable you to grow and develop your work.

At present my supervisees are counsellors and psychotherapists (some of whom work with children and young people) trainees, teachers, key workers and supervisors seeking supervision of their own supervisory practice. If you are a professional from another discipline interested in reflective practice, please do get in touch with me.

One to one sessions last for an hour or an hour and a half. Costs of supervision vary according to the length of time and the needs of supervisees. Group supervision is also available, and the length and price of group supervision depends on the number of people involved.

Supervision can be by telephone, zoom or skype.

‘Supervision is not done by the supervisor, but jointly between the supervisor and the supervisee’

– Peter Hawkins
