1:1 Clinical Relational Supervision for counsellors and psychotherapists:
Whether online or in person, Jo welcomes enquiries from trainees and qualified professional therapists looking to experience a relational approach to clinical supervision. “I incorporate the use of Hawkins and Shohet’s seven-eyed model to guide, encourage openness and invite curiosity within the supervision relationship. I offer a safe, nurturing environment where unconditional positive regard, guidance and motivational support allow for honesty and vulnerability when discussing all aspects of clinical work. Jo’s aim is to create robust, long lasting, supportive clinical relationships with supervisees who wish to grow in their own professional development and embrace their own unique style of working. It is imperative that we take good care of ourselves and supervision is an important aspect of the therapist’s self-care. Not only can I support you in your private practice, I can support you in your life and career goals. Within our unique working relationship I can attend to your professional needs by motivating and supporting you to grow and further your knowledge, develop your ambition and flourish in your career.

1:1 Therapy 4 Therapists:
Are you a therapist looking for space to reflect and explore? It can be tricky, as a therapist to find a therapist A) who is comfortable working with other therapists and B) Who is able to offer a without judgement space where challenge feels gentle and safe and growth and development is possible. Here at Dialogues we offer specific services to our therapist colleagues. We want to offer space so that you can mindfully care for your own self whilst taking care of your clients and supervisees. We can offer a truly confidential and non judgemental space, either short or long term, in person or online. We can be there for you, not just for when life gets tough and it’s time to dip back into your own personal therapy, but for a dedicated space for your own reflections and self understanding through the ages and stages of personal and professional life. We all need a bit of support from time to time, even us… especially us! Feel welcome to reach out and schedule a boundaried, confidential chat with us. talktodialogues@gmail.com
