Kathy Lock Counselling and Clinical Supervision
Welcome to my website.
My name is Kathy Lock and I am a fully qualified, experienced Integrative Counsellor and Clinical Supervisor. Working as a therapist since 2016, I implemented elements of 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, get stuck, can't see a way to manage and need support. That is how I view the role of a therapist, a supporting role, helping clients achieve clarity about their situation and how it’s affecting their lives, as together they find ways of managing that the client is comfortable with.
The purpose 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 enjoying focussing exclusively on supervision work.
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. 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. 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 an opportunity to establish whether we feel we are a good fit and would feel comfortable working together.
