So this is me; Claire - I’m a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society (BPS) and an accredited EMDR Consultant with the EMDR Association UK; the professional body for EMDR clinicians.
I completed my EMDR training in 2006 and became a consultant in 2011. Back then, EMDR was not widely recognised, even within the NHS. Knowing how effective this therapy can be, I became passionate about delivering and promoting EMDR, and within five years, I became a Consultant Supervisor.
I work in secondary NHS mental Health services (CMHT) with complex and enduring presentations and I work with one of the UK’s leading provider of occupational healthcare services.
I currently provide EMDR consultant supervision to a variety of services, including:
NHS Talking Therapies
CMHT, CAMHS, Youth Therapy
Reproductive Trauma Service
Parent and Infant Interaction Service (PaIRS)
Local NHS Hospital Trust - Oncology & Pain Management Dept
Psych Health
In addition to these services, I also supervise clinicians in independent practice across all core professions, including counsellors, CBT therapists, psychologists, and mental health nurses.
My Approach to EMDR Supervision
I am passionate about delivering high-quality supervision and regularly attend workshops and conferences to stay at the forefront of EMDR developments. With a wealth of EMDR resources, I am eager to share my knowledge and insights with you. My approach underpins these principals; that supervision is restorative, educative, normative, and above all ensures my supervisees are practising safely and ethically.
Why Choose Me as Your EMDR Supervisor?
As a HCPC-registered Counselling Psychologist, I possess a broad therapeutic skill set that includes person-centred therapy, CBT, and psychodynamic approaches. In 2014, I completed the Approved Supervisor training with the BPS. More recently, I attended in-person IFS (Internal Family Systems) training Level 1 & 2, with the Institute’s most senior Lead Trainers from the USA. This is currently the most in-demand training around the world and IFS integrates perfectly with EMDR.
Here are some key reasons to choose me as your EMDR supervisor:
Extensive Experience: I have experience working with a wide range of clinical presentations, making me well-suited to support your specific caseload.
EMDR Practitioner/Consultant Accreditation support: I have supported dozens of clinicians through the accreditation process, facilitating their transition from being an EMDR novice to achieving a high level of EMDR proficiency.
Competitive Pricing: My costs are highly competitive compared to some of the exorbitant rates in the field, and I have an excellent reputation.
Free Consultation: I offer a free, up-to-one-hour consultation where we can meet, discuss your needs, review cases, and ensure I am the right supervisor for you.
