Supervision - Sarah Tinsley Counselling

Supervision in Chorley, Lancashire and online

I offer supervision for qualified counsellors, psychotherapists and other health professionals, individually and in group settings.

As therapists we all need a safe and compassionate place where we can take a step back and reflect on our client work. A place to work through ethical dilemmas or anything that might feel challenging or demanding and to celebrate what is going well.

I believe that supervision is not only about keeping our work safe, ethical and in our clients interests, it’s about preventing burnout and compassion fatigue. Supervision is somewhere to figure our your therapist identity, along with where and how you do your best work.

Perhaps you are thinking of finding a new supervisor now or at some point in the future. I understand how important finding the right supervisor is and it’s wonderful that you’ve found your way here.

Let me explain a little bit about who I am and how I work.

Compassionate and supportive supervision

I’m Sarah and I’m a qualified supervisor. My aim is to provide a safe, compassionate, collaborative, and supportive environment which offers exploration and supportive challenge which is free from judgement. I will work hard to honour your unique style, well-being, growth and professional development whilst keeping your clients at the very heart of our work together.

I will encourage and support you as you figure out the kind of therapist you are and the direction you want to take.

I use the Seven-Eyed model of supervision developed by Peter Hawkins to underpin my supervision practice. I work in a supervisee centred way.

I now work solely in private practice, which I have been running for just over 6 years. I specialise in working with people who have experienced bereavement, relationship challenges, or trauma and abuse, including Boarding School survivors. I have chosen to focus my own therapy work with adults and couples but I have experience of working with children and young people (aged 4+).

I support counsellors, psychotherapists and other professionals working in a range of settings.

I offer regular supervision on a fortnightly or monthly basis to suit your needs. I am also happy to provide ad hoc consultations in any of my areas of specialism.

Fees

One to One (Qualified practitioner) – £70 (1 hour) / £90 (1.5 hours)

Consultation – £70 (1 hour)

Group – £60 per person (1.5 hours)

Next Steps

I offer a free initial 30 minute session to give us both the time and space to get to know each other a little, explore your hopes and fears for supervision and to see if we would be a good fit together.

During this first session we can also pay attention to confidentiality and boundaries. We will look at your individual needs, style of working and the relationships you hold with your clients, as well as the setting of your practice.

If you would like to arrange to meet, please get in contact, either myself or my assistant, will be in touch to arrange a time to meet.
