My Supervision Experience
I have supervised a range of helping Practitioners (including Counsellors, Coaches, Supervisors and Designated Safeguarding Leads) for over five years during my roles in the NHS, schools and charities as a Chartered Psychologist. As my experience and knowledge integrate therapeutic and coaching elements, I can offer a wide range of supervision support for supervisees.
​
The most frequent approach I use for supervision is Proctor’s Three Function Interactive Model.
This is broken into three areas:
​
§â€‹ FORMATIVE FUNCTION (Learning) – supervision is concerned with developing the skills, abilities and
understandings of the supervisee.
§ RESTORATIVE FUNCTION (Support) – supervision explores and reviews how the supervisee responds
emotionally to the stresses of the work.
§ NORMATIVE (Accountability) – supervision is concerned with maintaining and ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the supervisee’s practice work.​
My research on mindfulness, compassion and stress management allows me to add a further dimension to my supervisor role. In addition to my experience, I have completed the SDS Essentials and Advanced (Level 3) Clinical Supervision course which allows me to be on the BPS Register of Applied Psychology Practice Supervisors. I am also a qualified supervisor on both the coaching directory and counselling directory.
​
Regular Supervision for Counsellors (not trainees), Coaches, Supervisors and helping professions
Regular supervision for those in practice usually takes place on a monthly basis depending on the requirements of your professional body and the number of clients you are currently supporting.
The majority of supervisees usually opt for 1 hour or 1.5 hrs depending on their needs. This can be discussed and reviewed during your sessions.
​
Chartered Coaching Psychologist Supervision services
As one of the first BPS Chartered Coaching Psychologists in the United Kingdom and a former BPS Coaching Psychology Assessor, I offer specialist supervision and support for psychologists working towards BPS Chartered Coaching Psychologist status. With extensive experience of the profession and the chartership pathway, I provide the supervision required to support candidates in developing their coaching psychology practice, reflecting on their professional development and progressing towards chartership. To learn more, see my article on becoming a Chartered Coaching Psychologist. ​

Within the BPS ethical framework, supervision is required to be conducted once every three months. However, additional supervision can be requested if required.
