Supervision Group
All the groups are currently full; however, if you would like to join a small waiting list, please do get in touch.
Group supervision can offer connection and community for counsellors and gives us the opportunity to generously share our practice as we learn from each other.
The model of group supervision that I draw upon is based on David Altfeld’s method of experiential group process. I will invite everyone to leave at the door their qualifications, accreditations, the letters after our names, and to just experience the presenting material in the here and now, alongside one another.
Rather than offering formulations or clinical options, we will simply share any feelings, images, memories or physical sensations that we notice, which we will assume are our responses to the case material being presented. We may even report how we are feeling towards each other, but we will trust that all our responses belong to the material in front of us.
This will be an intimate and gentle group. I am experienced in holding and facilitating groups and it is my aim to create an environment of safe-uncertainty for all members, where you can feel safe enough to be uncertain. Safe enough to share your struggles and stuckness, without fear of judgement or shame.
This way of working is relational and the process allows the worlds of the client, the supervisee and the supervisor, and also the outside world to simultaneously mirror and co-create each other. There’s rich opportunity to experience and explore parallel process and transference, and to slow down and get curious about how our responses can offer valuable insight into our process.
'‘Supervision offers us the opportunity to become present to that moment of awareness, to slow down so that the wound, disturbance or disconnection that seems to be breaking everything and us apart is, instead, the road back home’
(Shoet & Shoet, 2020)
