Counselling Masterclasses
Online Essentials – How to safely and ethically deliver Counselling online
Since COVID 19 the option to deliver counselling online has become accepted as not only effective, but potentially better suited to some clients, who in the past were unable or unwilling to attend sessions in person.
This 2-hour online training will give you a start with what you need to be conscious of when practising online.
It will also illuminate the how creating a safe therapeutic relationship differs from when the provider and the client are in the same physical space.
We will also explore the new ethical considerations that have emerged as more has been learned about online delivery, including the impact of the ‘disinhibition effect’ on the therapeutic process.
Bringing Cyberspace into the Therapeutic Space
The digital revolution (gaming; social media; anonymity) has created a significant shift in how we experience others and ourselves.
Cyberspace has now become a much larger compartment in the lives of our clients.
There is much benefit to be gained from incorporating our clients’ online experiences into their therapy.
Exploring this compartment can reveal hidden resources, parts of personality, the “inner selfie”, and also pitfalls.
Dancing with Anxiety
In an increasingly anxious, demanding and fearful world, anxiety is the most common presenting issue for our clients.
Anxiety does the same thing over and over – learning to lead ‘the dance’ can help clients short circuit Anxiety’s grip.
Supervision Masterclasses
How to use anxiety in the Supervision Space
What happens when anxiety interferes with the supervisory relationship? Is it always a bad thing? Explore what drives your responses when you are anxious. How does that impact what you take away from your supervision or your efficacy as a supervisor?
When fear is driving the supervision work, in the words of Robyn Shohet, we can “..fall into illusion, delusion and collusion”.
Ethical intelligence drops and we ultimately can’t hold hope for the client or a sense of new possibility in their lives.
Come to this session and explore the contextual issues of when anxiety (fear of what is next) is useful in supervision and when it blocks the work needing to be done.
Explore what drives your responses when you are fearful and how that impacts what you take away from your supervision and /or your efficacy as a supervisor?
Leave this session knowing what new self care you need to implement in and out of the therapeutic and supervision space to step out of the possibility of ‘illusion, delusion and collusion”.
You and Your Supervisor
Supervision can be a separate reflective space, offering a sense of being contained, holding what might otherwise spill over the edge.
An effective supervisor is one who helps you to work out where to look, but doesn’t tell you what to see.
Teaming up with your Supervisor invites wellbeing, helps prevent burnout, stimulates growth in your professional capabilities and increases your efficacy.

A Team Approach – Better Outcomes for all Supervisees
You can only get what you need from supervision when you know what to ask for.
Supervision needs to be a collegiate, mutual, safe space where we can monitor our ethical decisions, explore our humanness and experience a sense of mentoring over the lifetime of our counselling careers.
Do you ever wonder if supervision could be a more expansive experience for both the supervisor and the supervisee?
Explore how you can make this happen.
How to safely experience Deeper Reflection in Supervision: (for supervisees and supervisors)
Supervision is a ‘two-way street.’ A secure supervisory relationship enables co-creation to unfold and new possibilities to present.
Look more deeply at the dynamics and agendas which may interfere with our client’s desired outcome and the outcome for the supervisee.
Reflection, like meditation, is not an event, it’s a process
Supervisor Masterclasses (Supervision-on-Supervision)
Forming and Securing the Supervisory Relationship
Exploring early attachment types and how they impact the way we work, and form relationship with our Supervisees.
Transference in Supervision
Exploring the many components of Transference and the essential information within it, for the Supervisor, the Supervisee, and the Client.
When you get the sense that there is something that you are missing, either in the Supervisee, or in the Client, the felt sense of ‘Projective Identification’ can be the key to the missing element.
