Supervision

You want to do your best for your clients

When you’re a counsellor, you’re helping your clients through some of their most difficult or traumatic times. 

From grief to abuse. Addiction to health diagnoses. Sexuality and identity to trauma. No two clients or situations are ever exactly the same. 

It’s a privilege 

And, perhaps, you became a counsellor because you or loved ones have benefited from counselling or therapy in the past.  

You understand the incredible power of having someone sit with you in your darkest moments without judgement, helping you to process the (sometimes brutal) complexities of life. 

It’s a privilege, absolutely. It’s also demanding 

You can’t talk to your friends and family about your work. The responsibility can weigh heavily on you.

There are times when you feel stuck, unsure how to proceed with a client or doubting the effectiveness of your work together. (Even more so if you’re new in your counselling career.)   

Could we be a good match?

Hi, I'm Lindsey.

I’m a counsellor, clinical supervisor and NCPS member based in Teignmouth, Devon. 

In clinical supervision sessions for counsellors, my aims are to: 

• Put you at ease and create a safe, non-judgemental space where you can offload. Ask questions. And talk freely about your work 
• Empower you to decide the plan for the session 
• Manage the time carefully so you’re covering everything you need to
• Challenge your thinking and push you (gently and kindly) out of your comfort zone 
• Provide you with additional resources, theories and reading to support your professional development
• End the session so you leave satisfied. Your goals have been met and it’s been useful

There’s not a lot I haven’t seen and I’m not easily shocked - I have experience of working across a wide range of counselling clients.

In addition to Teign Talk, I work part time for the NHS (at Channel View Surgery Group, Teignmouth), and I have worked with the Intercom Trust to provide counselling for LGBTQ+ clients and as a volunteer counsellor with Andy’s Man Club – I really support their work to encourage men to talk.

Book my supervision session

I have the NCPS Advanced Specialist Diploma in Supervision (Level 6 equivalent) and an Advanced Professional Diploma in Counselling Theory and Therapeutic Practice. I am an accredited registrant of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society and am on a register that has been accredited by the Professional Standards Authority. I am fully insured.

And (if it helps your decision-making process 😀), when I’m not supervising or counselling, you can find me either:

• Walking my dog Oscar around beautiful Teignmouth

Or

• Catching up on Married at First Sight Australia

Supervision sessions are £60 per 60-minute session or £90 per 90-minute session.

Sessions can be in person at my office or via Zoom.

“Lindsey is a fabulous supervisor and I'd recommend her to anyone who asked me. 
“She opened my mind to the counselling toolbox and range of strategies at my disposal to best help my clients. 
“I can take anything to her. She always seems to value what I say and always offers support and kindness.”

Melanie Beach, Counsellor

“I felt really comfortable with Lindsey, and totally safe that whatever I said in the session was fine and I wouldn’t be judged. 
I felt like she was completely herself, so then I could be myself.  She challenged me and got me to think differently about things. She put me out of my comfort zone which is really important.
I always feel great at the end of sessions - lighter - and feel like I've learned something that I can take back into the next client session.”

Nicola Dunn, Counsellor
