For counsellors with 0–2 years of experience, supervision is essential for building foundational skills, navigating ethical dilemmas and developing confidence. It offers support in managing challenging cases, refining techniques, learning new techniques and fostering self-awareness. Supervision provides guidance, reduces isolation and helps establish professional identity, ensuring growth, competence, and resilience in the early stages.	Staying connected during the first 0–2 years in counselling offers vital support and growth opportunities. Networking with peers and mentors fosters collaboration, reduces isolation, and provides guidance. Connections help share resources, gain diverse perspectives, and navigate challenges. Building relationships strengthens professional identity, encourages learning, and enhances resilience for long-term success.	For counsellors with 2+ years of experience, supervision refines advanced skills, deepens case conceptualization, and enhances ethical decision-making. It provides ongoing support for navigating complex client issues while fostering professional growth. Supervision encourages reflective practice, strengthens confidence, and helps maintain work-life balance, ensuring sustained competence and personal well-being in the field.

What is Counselling Supervision?

For the counselling and hypnotherapy industries supervision is an incredibility important part of keeping us grounded and aware of our of limitations and issues, including burnout or compassion fatigue, as well as keeping our clients safe. It protects us from inappropriate actions or behaviour, transference and countertransference and keeps us updated on our Association’s requirements to continue working as counsellors. Counselling supervision can be done as individual or group sessions, whichever best suits the counselling.

New Counsellors – Individual Counselling

I have created a specific mentoring program for new counsellors that provides all the information you would ever need to start a private practice. It includes back-office options, regulatory, all popular forms used in the industry, down to stationary and how to set up the layout of your office. These sessions are for 1 hour at a cost of $125. It traditionally takes 3-5 sessions for new therapists to complete the program, depending on the amount of time they are able to dedicate to the process. These sessions are either face to face or via Zoom and are held during the week, at various times and days.

Experienced Counsellors – Individual Counselling

Being able to speak with me about all aspects of your practice, from client needs, personal blind spots or unconscious biases to what direction to take your education and where to next. The fee for individual sessions is $125 for 1 hour. Traditionally more experienced counsellors book sessions monthly, attending face to face or via Zoom. These take place at various times and days of the week (not weekends).

Group Supervision both New and Experienced Counsellors

All group supervision is done on-line, via Zoom, unless you wish to create your own specific group, which I also provide. This group has been running for 6 years now, with a blend of all different levels and stages of counsellors. This allows us all to learn and support each other, with the huge amount of lived experience we all have gained personally and professionally. This group is run on the second Monday of the month, 5-7pm (EADT), at a cost of $75 for the 2 hours.
