My approach
The Seven-Eyed Model (Hawkins & McMahon, 2020) informs my supervision work by emphasising both the client-counsellor relationship and the supervisee-supervisor relationship and prompts a focus on the different individual, relational and contextual factors. Our sessions are somewhat structured around this model but also tailored to any of your preferences. The model can provide a holistic perspective on what happens in the counselling room and the interconnectedness of the different eyes. It is useful in determining the source of tension or stuckness with a more objective, non-judgemental lens.
My offering
I offer 1-2-1 supervision online for counsellors either monthly for £60 an hour or fortnightly for £45 for 45 minutes (these rate will remain the same in 2026). My general availability over July and August is 7pm and 8pm Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and 9am and 10am on Saturdays and Sundays.
My background is in person-centred counselling, qualifying in 2016, and accredited with BACP in 2022. Most of my client work has been online with private clients and insurance referrals dealing with grief/loss and anxiety. As expected with insurance referrals, I work with a whole range of people on diverse issues short-term so appreciate the challenges navigating client issues in a limited timeframe. Please note that I can only supervise work with adults.
I can also be a useful addition to your primary supervisor to explore setting up a private practice, working with race and ethnicity, or working towards accreditation.
My aims as a supervisor are to help you build competence and confidence in your practice – to help you feel less stuck with client work; to develop your own internal supervisor; and to recognise and uphold the professional boundaries and ethical framework that matter to you.
Testimonials
“I am so pleased to have found Jen. She has been just what I needed at a time when I was struggling to feel engaged in my practice. She has helped me to reconnect with my work, and I really appreciate her sensible, grounded, and person-centred perspective and direction.”
“Jen has been my counselling supervisor over the past several months. I find Jen to be consistently professional, organised and she brings the guidance and clarity that I need to our sessions. I find she has a strong ability to identify key themes and reflects them back thoughtfully and succinctly. Jen’s input and professionalism stays with me after sessions, as I continue to reflect on shaping my own client work. Thank you!“
