As a Clinical Supervisor I have worked with both Psychodynamic and Integrative therapists. I have supervised trainees, qualified and experienced practitioners and have supported them throughout their training, accreditation and professional practice. A key concept that I took away from my first supervision training (I have completed three) is that the role of the supervisor is to be nurturing; this has been central to my work throughout my experience of offering clinical supervision. I believe I bring a wealth of both personal and professional experience to my work and my background in the creative arts means my ability to work creatively and collaboratively supports both clients and supervisees. I have been told that I have the ability to be challenging in a particularly kind way and that this helps people feel safe and supported in their development. I feel that this is due to my passion for supporting both clients and supervisees to grow and find their own autonomy.I have worked with a lot of trainees, particularly in my role as Clinical Supervisor at the University of Sussex, where I worked for many years. Because of this, I believe that I have a good understanding of the struggles and frustrations that can emerge from a training program and I endeavour to help trainees to work through their difficulties and de-mystify some of the complex theories and concepts that a training often presents. I also understand that these concerns can often follow a therapist beyond their training and impact on their confidence as a qualified therapist. I aim to help practitioners overcome these difficulties and support them in developing their own style of working.
