I have worked in Bristol as a Reflective Practice facilitator (group and individual) in the voluntary sector since 2015. The primary focus of this work has been toward maintaining a Psychologically Informed Environment (PIE), a concept that grew out of work in homelessness, but is similar to ideas found traditionally in Social Work. This means I’ve been lucky enough to work with people from a variety of backgrounds, with different life experiences and training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\nfrequently use concepts from counselling and counselling supervision\nin this work, such as Inskipp and Proctor’s Seven-Eyed Model and and\nKagan’s Interpersonal Process Recall (IPR). My training in trauma\ntherapy has also been very useful as I am mindful that vicarious\ntrauma, compassion fatigue, and burnout are always possible when we\nwork with people in challenging situations. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I completed the Advanced Diploma Course in Relational Supervision in January 2020. I now work with qualified therapists, and other members of the helping professions, working in private practice and in organisations, as well as with trainee counsellors working in organisations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My work is grounded in the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions and rooted in the principle that we are working for the clients’ benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An article about changing clinical supervisors is available in the June 2019 issue of Therapy Today (Bean, L. and Perkins, K. 2019. Time to Change?<\/em> Therapy Today 30:5). The article is currently only available to BACP members but it is worth checking out as it provides a useful outline of what we can expect from our clinical supervisors and\/or what we should be offering as clinical supervisors. I particularly liked this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n “A good enough supervisor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It also provides a handy list of BACP resources relating to supervision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please get in touch if you have any questions by emailing me at nathalie.counselling@gmail.com or ringing \/texting 07824452840<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have worked in Bristol as a Reflective Practice facilitator (group and individual) in the voluntary sector since 2015.
