I offer 1:1 Supervision for osteopaths and anybody working in the helping professions.
I provide a confidential, safe, reflective and empowering space in which practitioners can talk about any aspect of their work helping people.
Supervision is an opportunity to explore new perspectives on any element of the work we do when we are involved with helping people, in whatever context.
Having greatly benefited from having my own regular Supervision for many years I looked into training as a Supervisor myself in order to encourage and support other Osteopaths and people working in health and social care settings. I thoroughly enjoyed Supervision for the Helping Professions run by The Centre for Supervision and Team Development in London. Having achieved the Certificate in Supervision I currently offer this service to a wide range of people including Osteopaths, Nutritional Therapists, Craniosacral Therapists, Homeopaths, Yoga Teachers, Interfaith Ministers, Social Workers, Counsellors and Practice Managers. This is not an exclusive list. If you help other people I would like to help you!

The training to become a Supervisor draws on psychology, psychotherapy, group dynamics, inter-subjectivity, appreciative enquiry and systems training.
Supervision often has a negative image to do with being judged, managed or inspected in some way by a senior person. This is not my experience. True Supervision is actually a creative container that is safe, supportive and exciting.
For the time that I am with my Supervisor she has as much interest and excitement about me and my work and my patients as I have. To have this much positive attention about my life, work and my patients is truly empowering. I hope I provide this for my supervisees also.
I am a member of The Independent Supervisors Network
