Description of Work and Background:
My aim in supervision is to create a supportive environment where supervisees can navigate challenges inherent in their work with clients. My focus is on providing collaborative relationship, to cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness, employing developmentally appropriate engagement, nurturing therapist’s self-use, promoting personal growth, and navigating the complexities of client relationships. Simultaneously, I emphasise ethical decision-making, safeguarding, and risk management.I completed my supervision training with the Gestalt Institute of Ireland, obtaining a level 9 Certificate. The decision to pursue this training was influenced by my positive experience with my supervisor whose relational approach emphasised the use of self and the contact boundary, significantly contributing to my development as a therapist and supervisor. My core training is also rooted in the Gestalt Institute of Ireland, completed in 2008. Drawing from my training and experience as a therapist, my supervisory approach is primarily grounded in the gestalt relational approach ‘here and now’ perspective, interwoven with insights from the past, encapsulating the ‘there and then’.
Further enriching my work as a therapist are qualifications in MBSR teacher training, EMDR and CBT. Additionally, my master’s degree specialises in the Gestalt Approach to Adolescent Development.
I am accredited with the Irish Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists.
Based in Clonmel Counselling Centre, Co. Tipperary, where I offer both in-person and online supervision services.
