6-8 hours of free supervision

Hi there

I’m John, a Glasgow-based person-centred counsellor and a supervisor-in-training, currently offering free supervision to qualified therapists and second-year trainees working with individual adults. This might be useful to any practitioner interested in exploring the current chapter of your work in greater depth, or to anyone who has worked primarily with one supervisor, who might now be intrigued to gain experience of different approaches to supervision.

I'm undertaking my certificate in clinical supervision with Persona Development and Training and I am offering:

• 6-8 hours of free supervision
• Online or in person in Glasgow city centre
• Hours offered flexibly according to your needs

My background as a counsellor is in both private practice and as a member of the clinical development team at established Glasgow counselling charity, Healing for the Heart. 

As a supervisor, I will seek to develop a working bond between us, coming from a place of genuine curiosity about you and your work. I will be attentive to your boundaries, I will offer gentle challenge when appropriate, and I will invite you to reflect on what it means to be congruent and connected with your values while offering so much of yourself to the client.

If you would be interested in working with me and developing that supervisor-supervisee alliance together, I would love to hear from you – you can contact me at j.a.lyndon@proton.me.

I should note that I’m not able to supervise client work for which I do not have relevant training, which would include:

• Work with couples
• Work with perpetrators of abuse
• Work where addiction is the primary focus of therapy
• Work with clients presenting with eating disorders as the primary focus of therapy
• Work with any client under the age of 18

As I'm in training, anyone wishing to take up this offer would need to continue working with their own, qualified individual supervisor during this time. The hours I am offering would be supplementary, but they would count as supervision hours for any qualified practitioner's records. For second-year trainees, you would need to confirm if they would count toward the supervision expectation for your course.

I will be glad to offer a short introductory call to anyone curious to see if I might be a good match. Just email me at j.a.lyndon@proton.me and we can organise an initial call. I'll also be happy to answer any questions you might have over email or as part of that initial chat.

I'm excited to work with you

John
