About me - Route to Professional Supervision
I have worked as a Freelance BSL/English Interpreter since graduating in 2002. I have worked as a Community Interpreter covering areas such as medical appointments, staff meetings, conferences and so on. I have worked within specialist areas such as Mental Health domains, Music Festivals, Colleges, Universities, Police, Courts and so on.
Having had so many years of experience in this field, I realised the need to progress further within my career and embarked upon the Diploma in Supervision for not only Sign Language Interpreters but also a range of Professionals. I gained my Qualification in November 2015.
The reason I decided to become a Supervisor was through my own experiences of having nowhere to turn to discuss work related issues that affected me personally and know the damaging effects this can have on a person. Since commencing supervision, I have not looked back!
I offer services as a Professional Supervisor where I provide a non-judgemental safe, space to reflect on your practice, explore issues, dilemmas, traumatic work experiences, explore other perspectives and so on. If it is work related, then this is the place to bring it to reflect upon in order to function more efficiently within your role. If you feel you carry too much from your work with you, then supervision is the place to offload it. Supervision is your space where you get to really reflect on yourself and everyone should have an opportunity to do that, especially in people facing professions. I am passionate about supervision and feel it is a necessity for any person within professional roles, especially if they are people facing.
I provide Professional Supervision on an individual and group basis. Individual sessions are offered in person or via Skype. Group sessions are all face to face sessions. Sessions run between 1hr - 2hrs for individual sessions and 2hrs-3hrs for group sessions dependent on numbers of attendees.
Sessions are booked in the diary every 4-6 weeks.
(For pricings, please feel free to contact me to make an enquiry)
“At its simplest, supervision is a forum where supervisees review and reflect on their work in order to do it better ……… supervision that is not centred or focused on actual practice and work is simply another form of counselling or psychotherapy”
