Clinical Supervision – Availability for New Supervisees

To find a BABCP accredited CBT Supervisor is rare.
To find a CBT supervisor with the following experience is precious:

LI & HI CBT supervision training back in 2013 with Marie Chellingsworth at the University of Nottingham.

15 years clinical experience as a qualified CBT Therapist, working with both adults and CYP.

25 years of experience working in the mental health field from community services to Psychiatric Intensive Care.

I currently have availability for individual clinical supervision.

My approach is collaborative, reflective and appropriately challenging, with a focus on:

CBT formulation and treatment planning

Working through complex cases and clinical challenges

Developing therapeutic skills and confidence

Reflective practice and professional development

Exploring ethical considerations

Sessions are available online.

If you're interested or would like to discuss your supervision needs, please feel free to send me a private message.

I love a good podcast. Listening to something enjoyable whilst doing chores is such a great combo. I was quite excited to find these in the CBT today magazine. I never knew they existed before now. Has anyone tried them out? If so, let me know what you think.

What anxiety disorder is it? How do I distinguish between x & y?
These are common supervision questions when clinicians find it difficult in the assessment and formulation stage to work out what disorder their client is presenting with.

This table from Beck & Wells Cognitive Therapy for Anxiety Disorders book may help.

Su***de awareness month.

Su***de awareness often focuses on encouraging the person in need to 'reach out' but what if someone did come to you for help?

Would you know what to do? Would you know what to say? Would you get flustered? Panic? Would you be afraid of saying the wrong thing? Would you have no clue how to respond if someone is in need and wants your help? If so, that's ok, you're not the only one.

Although often overlooked, su***de awareness is also about helping everyone to feel confident in knowing what to look out for, what to do, what to say, how to respond, how to help, where best to direct the person in need.

I've been on many su***de awareness training courses over the last 25years, some good, some bad. Some will say to look out for signs, but sometimes there are no signs. Some will say encourage the person suffering to reach out, talk to someone, but some people don't feel able to. After all, even in this day and age, there's still a lot of stigma out there.

There's no real 'one fits all' guide book. If there was, there wouldn't be an average of 20 lives per day lost to su***de in the UK.

So, what can you do?
What helps?

Believing you are "broken" is often a deeply ingrained negative core belief. It usually stems from past trauma, childhood experiences, or chronic emotional invalidation that causes you to internalise the message that you are fundamentally flawed. Rather than an absolute truth, it is an emotional filter shaped by what you have endured.

During therapy I can help you to understand where this belief comes from and process the traumatic experiences. I can guide you how to reframe your thoughts and practice self compassion.

I can help you to truly believe that "I am whole" and "I am enough, just as I am", "I am resilient and capable of handling life's challenges", "I am continuously growing and healing", I am worthy of love, respect & happiness".
