Supervision
Supervision with Chrissie
I strive to create a supervision environment that is warm, supportive and stimulating, a space where reflection and learning can occur and where supervisees feel secure in sharing their experiences and challenges. I provide constructive feedback that nurtures both personal and professional development. My approach reflects the multiple therapeutic models that inform my client work, allowing for a nuanced exploration of both content and process issues.
For over 15 years, I have provided clinical supervision to Clinical Psychologists and other Psychological Therapists in both the NHS and the private sector. I have been involved in the Clinical and Research supervision of Trainee Clinical Psychologists and have taught on both the Clinical and Educational Doctoral programmes at Queens University Belfast. I am a recognised Clinical Supervisor with the BPS and registered with the Register of Applied Psychology Practice Supervisors (RAPPS). You can check my BPS Supervisor status here
Supervision with Stephen
I have been a Clinical Supervisor for thirty years. Over this period I have provided adult clinical supervision to many professionals including Trainee Clinical Psychologists from the University of Manchester and Queens University Clinical Psychology courses, Assistant Psychologists, Clinical and Counselling Psychologists, Cognitive Behavioural Therapists and Counsellors.
My approach to supervision mirrors my therapeutic style—I bring experience, encouragement and a strong commitment. I strive to create a supervisory relationship that is warm, respectful, positive, and safe, providing a constructive space for reflection and development.
To ensure clarity and shared expectations, I use a Supervision Contract that outlines my role and our agreed goals, which we review regularly. I take a structured and thorough approach, keeping our sessions focused on your supervision needs. I ask thoughtful questions to fully understand your cases and can shift between clinical content and process-related discussions as needed. Each session concludes with agreed-upon action steps, which are documented. Throughout, I aim to work within your preferred clinical approach.
