I am currently completing an Advanced Certificate in Clinical Supervision including Online and Telephone Working, which is aligned with the supervision competencies established by the BACP, NCPS and ACTO. Having successfully completed my initial training, I am now offering face-to-face, video or telephone supervision to trainee and qualified counsellors working with individual adults. This will be provided at a reduced rate of £20 per hour or £30 per 1.5 hours only whilst I continue to accumulate the required clinical placement hours. I will provide at least 2 months’ notice of any change in fees.
What is my therapeutic approach and experience?
I am an integrative counsellor with over 12 years’ experience, 10 year’s in private practice, working mainly long term with clients. My theoretical approach is person-centred at its core. However, I have been trained in and draw upon both psychodynamic and CBT modalities. Outside of private practice, I have worked as a consultant counsellor for an NHS provider delivering short-term CBT based therapies via psychoeducational groups and individual counselling, both face-to-face and online. I have also volunteered for both a national bereavement charity and a residential rehabilitation centre for drug and alcohol misuse, counselling both face-to-face and in group settings.
What supervision model do I use and what can I offer you?
I use the Seven-Eyed Supervision Model developed by Hawkins and Shohet (1985), which enhances clinical practice by exploring your client’s experience, reflecting on your interventions, and examining the therapeutic relationship. It encourages self-reflection and personal development, while considering the supervision relationship and wider cultural, social, and environmental contexts. The model aims to deepen self-awareness, improve practice, and provide supportive supervision for professional growth. I can offer you:
- A Warm, Supportive Environment: My goal is to create a safe space where you can explore your feelings, doubts, and challenges without judgment. Whether you’re facing a tough client presentation, experiencing difficult emotions in your work, or simply need a sounding board, I’m here for you.
- Personalised Feedback: I’ll provide constructive, compassionate feedback on your work, helping you refine your skills, build confidence, and find your own voice as a counsellor.
- Reflective Practice: You’ll have time to reflect on what’s going well in your work and where you might need to adjust. Reflection is key to developing a deeper understanding of both your clients and yourself.
- A Focus on Your Growth: This isn’t just about the clients you’re seeing; it’s about you as a counsellor. We’ll look at how you’re growing and how you can continue to build your skills, knowledge, and emotional resilience.
Please email me at sarahpearcecounselling@hotmail.com if you are interested in clinical supervision and we can arrange a no obligation introductory meeting either face to face, via video or telephone, whichever you choose.
Important: for student counsellors, please check with your training provider, informing them that I am completing my supervision qualification, before commencing supervision with me.
