The supervision I offer is centred around helping you develop your style of practice with confidence and efficiency. It covers case work, consultation techniques, practice management, self development and personal issues relating to your work, and anything specific your college might require.
I treat supervision in much the same way as I do a consultation with a patient. My style is open, relaxed and personable. An aim is to keep the process simple where appropriate, and then I encourage the habit of self reflection.with a need to get to the underlying issues and help you move on. I don't focus on dryly checking through case notes, rubric selection and giving prescription approval. I am sensitive to the needs of students who feel daunted by supervision who can feel they are in the goldfish bowl of being watched during live case taking. I'm there to support you, barely noticable unless you invite me to engage with anything.
I suggest we speak first to discuss our needs and see if we get on. If all feels good we can arrange a "tester" supervision meeting in person after which we can plan more for the future. If you live a long distance away, we can initiate sessions by Skype/Zoom.
Possible Formats
- Phone/Skype/Zoom. The bulk of supervision can be done in this way and is charged by the minute at the rate of £25 per hour. The benefit here is flexibility and quicker response time for you with your patients.
- Face to face Sessions. These usually last for one to two hours and can be done at your home, or in a quiet bar or cafe. If we're in a public space then confidentiality is essential, there are ways of communicating about a case that respect this.
- If you would like to work within a group setting, even if occasionally, the benefits are a different way of working and learning and lower cost.
- Live Supervision of Cases. For qualified homeopaths this can be a great help to refine consultation skills. For students it is usually a course requirement.
