Health Psychology Supervision Services

 

I love to work with HPs at all levels of experience, with supervisees working across a broad range of settings. The themes & learning needs that I identify in sessions then feed into my work across supervisees. This has helped me to develop a private webpage of supervision resources that are made exclusively available to SCPS supervisees.

My background: 20 years of supervising HPs, Registered Applied Psychology Practice Supervisor (RAPPS). 15 years applied HP practice in Health and Social Care; 10 years of experience in independent practice. My bio

Developing Your Services

Many supervisee's are starting companies or planning new services. Getting feedback on resources, materials, ideas or opportunities can help you think through your professional roles and responsibilities.

HCPC  Governance

The best way to provide assurance about safe, effective & legal practice is to have an experienced, independent health psychologist supervisor, & to evidence the impact this has on your practice.

What do we talk about in Supervision?

Each session is unique and can be focused around all and any aspects of your practice. One week you might want career focused discussions; another you may need to focus on your therapeutic skills; next month you might want to focus on building your independent practice, or discussing themes across cases. My supervisee's also find unexpected benefits from supervision and feedback that sessions provide clarity, relieve their anxieties and build their confidence.
