Welcome to Spencer Supervision
My intention is bringing the best out of my Supervisee to allow them to deliver good therapy.
ABOUT ME AND SUPERVISION
Welcome, and thank you for visiting Spencer Supervision.
I am a Humanistic Counsellor integrating Person Centred, Gestalt and Transactional Analysis into my practice. I have an advanced Diploma in Humanistic Counselling, certificates in Couples and Group Counselling. I also have a Diploma in Clinical Supervision. I studied at the Awareness Centre in London. My Diploma allows me to work across a number of areas of counselling using different modalities. I supervise face to face or online as my Supervisee wishes.
I am an accredited member of the National Council of Independent Psychotherapists (NCIP).
AREAS OF SPECIALISM
My intention is to bring the best out of you to allow you to deliver good therapy for your clients and facilitating your own creative process to unfold. A key component of my philosophy is not striving to find a quick solution but taking time to reflect on a wide range of different aspects for you and your client. It is about moving flexibly through different concepts and modalities as appropriate. I integrate and adapt the Seven Eye model, Cyclical model and Integrative Development Model of Supervision according to the needs of my Supervisee.
Fundamental to my Supervision practice is the use of the therapeutic relationship. It is essential that we develop a collaborative, open and trusting relationship where the you feel safe. My hope is that this will allow you to bring what you are finding difficult with your clients, explore any mis-timed or less well thought out interventions made and doubts about how to go forward without feeling judged.
My aim will be to support and to keep safe from issues such as burnout and compassion fatigue and encourage hobbies outside work and time to relax. My hope is that this will help give the best of yourself to your clients as well as a high level of self-care. Safeguarding issues regarding their clients need to be brought to Supervision, such as risk of suicide or self-harm. This ensures you can fulfil your ethical responsibility to keep your client safe where possible, involving others where appropriate.
It will be important for us to develop and agree a contract for Supervision. This will include administrative details such as time, fee, your learning style, any neurodiversity you wish to share, and frequency of meetings. I will also discuss with you what you expect from Supervision and the process by which we do Supervision in the session. Our contract will be reviewed regularly.
I will endeavour to provide the right balance of regular feedback in respect of what I consider went well and helping you to find find your growing edge, helping you to develop confidence, autonomy, and self-awareness.
I will also support you to resolve ethical dilemmas.
I would encourage you to take time to consider all the different aspects of the dilemma from different perspectives before deciding a way forward.
I would help you to identify any cultural differences between them and their clients. The focus would be on how their own culture might influence how they perceive the client and how their client may perceive them and how this may influence the therapy.

A Supervision Session With Me
My Supervision sessions last for 1 hour. They usually take place monthly, however I can offer further Supervision either face to face, online or on the telephone if required. Sessions cost £70. Ad hoc Supervision in between monthly sessions is charged pro rata. Please note that if you cancel a session with less than 24 hours notice you will still need to pay for the misses session.
