Counselling Coaching

Having been in the counselling profession in organisations and having busy private practices for close to 10 year I have found mixed results with supervision for entry level and advanced therapists. Supervision is a complex task that involves improving one’s practice as a therapist as well as increasing and growing their private practice, if required.

I use a blended approach to supervision that is two fold in providing these services, as they are both vital in becoming a reputable and competent therapist. This will have some sessions aimed at improving your work with clients as a counsellor and a business owner in getting new clients. It will also aim to work on learning how to effectively network and connect with other professionals to increase referrals and form strong, long lasting relationships.

From a practice perspective my therapy is underpinned by attachment and systems theory whilst integrating other therapies, such as Narrative, Cognitive and Behavioural whilst using a psychodynamic Mentalization stance. This encourages a holistic and interpersonal therapy that is evidence based yet also incorporates the systems in a person’s life that influence them. Clients often comment this helps them feel more understood around factors that other professionals may miss, such as socioeconomic issues.

In building your practice I focus on how to network and link with other professionals locally and build a strong work of mouth. I will also point you in the direction of marketing ideas, social media and web design that will assist in building a strong branding to attract both clients and strong partnerships. This is the way business connection will move forward in time to come, brand recognition and the ability to build and maintain relationships whilst getting results for our clients.
