You are completing your counselling diploma or degree and starting to wonder what comes next

You are learning the theories, practising your skills and working your way through assessments. At the same time, you may be wondering what it will actually feel like to sit with a real client and be responsible for holding that space.

Perhaps placement is approaching and you do not feel completely ready. Maybe you have already begun seeing clients and find yourself replaying sessions, questioning what you said or wondering whether you missed something important.

You might also be thinking further ahead.

What kind of counsellor do you want to become? What opportunities are available after graduation? How do you gain experience, build confidence and begin finding your place within the profession?

There is a big difference between understanding counselling in the classroom and beginning to see yourself as a counsellor.

You are not expected to make that transition alone.

A space to grow into the counsellor you want to become

Student supervision gives you somewhere to bring your questions, uncertainties, client experiences and ideas about your future.

It is a space to connect what you are learning with real practice, understand the responsibilities of the profession and gradually develop confidence in your own way of working.

Perhaps you have found yourself thinking:

• “I did not know what to say next.”

• “I am not sure whether I handled that properly.”

• “I understand the theory, but I do not know how to apply it.”

• “This client’s experience has stayed with me.”

• “What if I am not ready to do this?”

You do not have to hide those thoughts or pretend to know more than you do.

Questions, uncertainty and reflection are all part of becoming a thoughtful and capable counsellor.

What we may explore together

In supervision, we can slow things down and look at what was happening for the client, what was happening for you and what you might consider next.

Together, we may explore:

• building rapport and therapeutic relationships

• structuring sessions and asking meaningful questions

• applying counselling theories and modalities

• case conceptualisation and treatment planning

• boundaries, confidentiality and ethical responsibilities

• risk assessment and appropriate escalation

• case notes and professional documentation

• transference, countertransference and personal responses

• receiving and applying feedback

• placement, professional identity and career pathways

• building confidence as you enter the profession

You are welcome to bring the moments you feel proud of too. Supervision is not only about what went wrong. It is also a place to recognise your progress, understand your strengths and build on what is already working.

How we will work together

My supervision style is reflective, collaborative and practical.

I will listen carefully, help you make sense of your experiences and offer clear and honest feedback. I may gently challenge your thinking when it supports your learning, but you will not be criticised for asking questions or not having all the answers.

Rather than simply telling you what to do, we will consider different possibilities, explore the reasoning behind them and help you develop the judgement to make thoughtful decisions in your own practice.

My role is not to turn you into a copy of another counsellor. It is to help you discover the kind of counsellor you want to become.

Choosing a supervisor while you are still finding your feet can feel daunting. Sometimes you simply need a conversation to know whether you will feel comfortable learning with someone.

You are welcome to get in touch with us to book a complimentary 15-minute discovery call. We can have an informal conversation about your work, what you are looking for in supervision and how we might work together.

You do not need to have everything figured out before you contact me. That is what the conversation is for.
