Individual & Group Supervision
The Seven-Eyed Lens: Integrative supervision for deeper insight and professional growth
I provide clinical supervision for qualified counsellors, psychotherapists, trainees, and professionals in related helping fields, supporting the development and quality of their clinical work.
Supervision is offered across diverse settings, including private practice, the NHS, training organisations, and the voluntary sector, ensuring relevance to different professional contexts.
My approach is grounded in extensive clinical experience and informed by integrative and transpersonal training, offering a reflective and responsive space to explore clinical material and process.
I integrate the Seven-Eyed Supervision Model (P. Hawkins & R. Shohet) with the Psychosynthesis model, bringing a transpersonal perspective to supervision. This approach supports deeper understanding, strengthens clinical skills, and enhances professional insight.
The Seven-Eyed Supervision Model explores seven distinct dimensions of the supervision process, each offering a unique perspective:
Client Focus – Observes the client's physical presence, expressions, language, and life story. It explores the connections they make between different aspects of their life, including the choices they share and areas they wish to explore.
Interventions Focus – Examines the therapist's strategies, skills, and techniques, considering their timing and purpose while exploring alternative approaches.
Client-Therapist Relationship – Enhances awareness of relational dynamics, including boundaries, therapeutic alliance, session flow, and the client’s transference.
Therapist’s Process – Focuses on the therapist’s emotional responses, countertransference, self-awareness, and self-care.
Therapist-Supervisor Relationship – Strengthens the working alliance between therapist and supervisor while addressing unconscious dynamics that may arise.
Supervisor’s Process – Encourages the supervisor to reflect on their own responses and feelings during supervision, using these insights to deepen understanding of the client-therapist relationship.
Wider Context – Considers the broader influences on the work, including the client’s social and cultural background, ethical considerations, and opportunities for growth and purpose.
All of these dimensions are explored within a transpersonal context—holding space for creative possibilities, seeing crises as opportunities for transformation, considering meaning and values, and fostering a connection to a deeper sense of self (I-Self connection).
While supervision ideally engages all seven modes, it is not necessary to incorporate each one in every session.
It is the relationship that heals.
