No. Many people are unsure at the outset. The initial conversation provides space to discuss what brings you and whether counselling, executive coaching, or supervision is the most appropriate framework. We will be clear and transparent about this before any work begins.
While these forms of work are distinct, all are grounded in reflective dialogue, clear boundaries, and ethical practice.
Our approach to supervision is reflective, relational, and ethically grounded. Supervision provides space to think carefully about your work, including client relationships, professional boundaries, ethical dilemmas, emotional impact, and development as a practitioner or leader. The emphasis is on thoughtful exploration rather than prescriptive solutions.
We offer supervision to anyone working in a range of settings that can be business focused, social care and the charity sector.
Supervision is offered on a one-to-one basis. If you are interested in group supervision, this can be discussed separately. The frequency of supervision is agreed in line with professional requirements, organisational expectations, and your individual needs. This will be discussed during the initial conversation.
This varies depending on whether you are engaging in counselling, coaching, or supervision. Some people come for a defined period; others choose to work over a longer timeframe. We will review the work regularly and discuss endings thoughtfully.
Counselling sessions are usually weekly and coaching agreed in line with your needs. Supervision arrangements vary and will be agreed in advance.
Sessions are offered both in person and online. We can discuss what feels most suitable and review this if circumstances change.
Sessions are typically 50 minutes. Any variations will be agreed in advance.
Fees are discussed during the initial conversation and confirmed before work begins. This ensures clarity and transparency before any commitment is made.
Yes, what you share is kept private. The only times confidentiality may be broken are if there is serious concern about your safety or someone else’s, if there are safeguarding concerns about a child or vulnerable adult, if the law requires information to be shared, or if professional advice must be sought. Wherever possible, this will be discussed with you first, and only the necessary information will be shared to help keep people safe.
A good fit matters. If we decide not to work together, I will, where possible, suggest alternative routes of support or help you think about what might be more appropriate.
