There's something particular that happens when a small group of practitioners think together about client work - the formulations you wouldn't have reached in one-to-one supervision, the dilemmas you recognise in someone else's case before you'd named them in your own, and the benefit of being seen and heard by people who get it.
My online supervision groups are designed for that kind of thinking.
How the group works
- Group size: Capped at four supervisees. Because the group stays at four or under, BACP members can count it at 50% toward their monthly supervisory hours - so one 2-hour session contributes one hour of formal supervision.
- Cadence: One 2-hour session per month on a regular recurring slot, with stable membership so trust and continuity can build.
- Format: Online (Zoom), open to therapists across the UK and Europe.
- Fee: £45 per month, invoiced on the first.
What we work on
- Case formulation - how you're understanding a client, and where the framing might be limiting you
- Ethical dilemmas - the grey areas where the framework gives principles but not answers
- Intervention choices - what next, why that, and what the alternatives might open up
- Group process - what the group's own response is telling us about the work
The orientation is pluralistic and relational. You don't have to share the modality of anyone in the group - and the most useful insights often come from a colleague reading the same material through a different lens.
Who this is for
This group tends to suit you if:
- You've got solid one-to-one supervision and want something with peer texture alongside it
- You're working with cases where one perspective isn't quite enough
- You want a regular reflective rhythm with the same small group of colleagues over time, rather than ad-hoc peer encounters
About me as your supervisor
I'm Will a BACP-accredited supervisor and counsellor. My own practice is integrative (psychodynamic and humanistic roots, with EMDR for trauma work), and I hold a BSc in Psychology, a postgraduate diploma in Gender, Sexuality & Relationship Diversity (GSRD) Therapy alongside an MSc in Gender Studies - so GSRD-aware work is a thread that runs through everything I do, including in the supervision room.
My supervisory approach is pluralistic and reflective-practice-focused. I'm interested in the clinical material and in you - how you're experiencing the work, where it's catching, what your particular way of being with clients makes possible. I will draw on the Seven-Eyed Model to give our thinking some structure when it's useful, and step away from it when it isn't.
In a group, my role is to hold the frame so the group can think well together - offering my own clinical perspective where it helps, but trusting that some of the most useful moments will come from peers reading the same case differently.
A note on scope
Group supervision contributes to your overall supervisory cover but, depending on your experience, caseload and the complexity of your work, it's rarely sufficient on its own. Most members combine this group with one-to-one supervision. I'd be happy to talk through whether the fit makes sense for your current practice.
Current availability
Existing groups are full, but I'm currently forming a new monthly group with two possible slots:
- Wednesday mornings, 9:30am - 11:30am (UK time)
- Wednesday afternoons, 12:30pm - 2:30pm (UK time)
The new group will start once four suitable supervisees have confirmed for the same slot. If you'd like to be in the mix - or you'd like to register interest for an existing group should a place open up - get in touch and I'll keep you posted.
Frequently asked questions
Does this count toward my BACP supervisory hours? Yes - because the group is capped at four supervisees, BACP members can claim it at 50%, meaning the 2-hour monthly session contributes one hour toward your formal supervisory requirement.
Is this enough supervision on its own? Usually not. For most qualified practitioners, group supervision works best alongside one-to-one cover. I can talk you through what's likely to be sufficient for your specific caseload.
Do I need to share your modality to join? No. The group is deliberately pluralistic - different orientations in the room is a feature, not a problem.
Where does the group meet? Online, via Zoom. Supervisees join from the UK and across Europe.
How do I join? Express your interest below. I'll be in touch to arrange a short conversation so we can check the fit before confirming a place.
