Kathy Lock Counselling and Clinical Supervision
Welcome!
My name is Kathy Lock and I am a fully qualified, experienced Integrative Counsellor and Clinical Supervisor. Working as a therapist since 2016, I integrated elements of CBT, Gestalt and Existential therapy into my sessions. CBT particularly for those clients who enjoyed being able to work on strategies during and between sessions, Gestalt therapy as a more creative way of working and Existential therapy as a means of supporting clients in understanding their place in the world, their priorities and how they fit into their world.
I believe we all have the ability to solve our own problems but at times, feel stuck, can't see a way to manage and need support. I view the role of a therapist as a collaborative and supportive role, helping clients achieve clarity about their situation and how it affects their lives, and working together to find ways of managing the client is comfortable with.
The role of supervision I believe, is an extension of this, holding client safety at its heart and supporting the client through the support given to supervisees.
I am now focussing exclusively on my supervision practice.
Supervision
What I most value in sessions with my supervisor, is having a trusting, collaborative and non-judgemental space which promotes reflection and balances support and challenge. I believe this environment nurtures confidence and professional growth and these are the conditions I offer to my supervisees.
Working online or with the 7-Eyed Model of Supervision, I offer the opportunity for structured reflection and feedback on all aspects of your clinical work whilst promoting and supporting development of skills, knowledge, awareness and ethical judgement.
Offering an overview of the safety and welfare of your clients from within the supportive supervisory relationship, is at the heart of my supervisory practice.
Sessions
Supervision sessions are offered online via Zoom and are £60 per hour. As an Accredited member of NCPS I am guided by their Code of Practice and am fully committed to Continued Professional Development attending regular training and undertake regular research to support my work with supervisees. I am fully insured, DBS checked and registered with the ICO.
Initial Complimentary Session
I offer an initial complimentary session to share a little more about myself and the way I work, and to understand from you how I might best support you. This session offers us an opportunity to meet, establish whether we are a good fit for each other and whether we would feel comfortable working together.
