Supervision

How do I work as a Supervisor?

I have a diploma in Person-Centred Supervision and am a BACP Senior Accredited Supervisor. My experience includes:

• Working with counsellors-in-training while completing their placements at GP surgeries.
• Supervising counsellors and professionals working at organisations such as Broadreach and The Zone, Haye Mill, Counsellors Southwest, Kooth, Plymouth Marjon University, Derriford Hospital Occupational Health

“When I am prized, I blossom and expand; I am an interesting individual”
Carl Rogers

As a Person-Centred supervisor, my focus is on you as a person.

I can be client-centred and form-orientated, but only in response to how you would like to work. My focus is on you rather than your theoretical orientation or your clients.

I aim to accompany you while you explore your work in an environment of trust, confidentiality, safety and good humour. I believe professional growth, confidence and joy can be fostered from being fully encountered by a supervisor with whom you relate profoundly.

“Wisdom in Greek was Sophia, as in our word “philosophy”, love of wisdom. Sophia had a most practical meaning, referring originally to the crafts of handling things, especially to the helmsman who steers the boat. The wise one steers well; the wisdom of the helmsman shows in the art of making minor adjustments in accord with accidents of water, wind and weight.”
Hillman (1996), The Soul’s Code: In Search of Character and Calling

Words of Appreciation

Supervision

I have found our supervision sessions invaluable in terms of constructive reflection which has enabled me to manage my clinical work and the potential emotional impact of it.

Supervision

I have been engaging in supervision sessions with Juliana on a monthly basis since Oct 2017. This in itself is testament to the successful relationship we have and the benefits I feel from the work we do together. Particularly I thrive, am inspired by, and develop my own practice from these of Juliana’s approaches to her work

Supervision

Juliana has been my Supervisor for the past five years. As a Person-Centred Counsellor, I have valued her experience, her way of working…and her warmth. I have used her as a role model as well as a supporter.

Supervision

Juliana challenges me when necessary but also reassures and encourages. When I have ventured into new fields, she has facilitated my learning and my practice. She has recommended books, provided copies of relevant articles and even checked facts with BACP

Supervision

Juliana has been attentive and understanding during our (supervision) sessions. I have felt heard and held. Her knowledge and experience is evident and she is warm yet curious in her responses. I have learnt much from her and enjoy the warm friendly environment including from the dogs and cat
