Supervision for Professional Counsellors, Psychotherapists & Social Workers
I offer individual one-hour supervision and two-hour online group supervision for Counsellors, Psychotherapists & Social Workers.
The Nature Counselling and Family Therapy
I firmly believe that people are the experts of their own life. My therapeutic style has developed over 25+ years and has become eclectic but is grounded in Person Centered Therapy (PCT), Narrative Therapy and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT).
I incorporate a number of theories and techniques. This professional self-disclosure statement is advising you of my qualifications, memberships and style I most often use in my practice.
