My Approach to Clinical Supervision
Clinical supervision of counselling and psychotherapy work offers a nurturing and supportive space where you can step out of the intensity of your work in the therapy room, and begin to reflect on the unconscious undertones of your therapeutic relationships, and the ways in which they impact you.
Supervision with me is about being able to think the unthinkable, see the unseeable and to learn to work skilfully with what is challenging. I believe that supervision should help you feel more skilled, confident and capable in doing the work that you love.
My approach, at its core is relational, psychodynamic and trauma-informed.
We would be paying attention to the unconscious processes within the therapy room, including how these processes might linger on with you, and how to begin to detach from them. We will look at how the historic, unresolved and unmet relationships of a client repeat with you and others in the clients’ lives, and how this knowledge can enable you to facilitate a deeper therapeutic process and a more empathic relationship with your clients.
About Me
I am Sumeet Grover, a BACP and UKCP Registered Psychotherapist with experience of working in the charity sector as well as private practice. I carried out my Psychiatric Observational Placement at the Baldock Manor Hospital, Hertfordshire, learning about the treatment and management of care for patients in a Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) setting.
I work with adults (18+) and couples. I originally trained as a transpersonal psychotherapist, with focus on Jung’s psychology, psychodynamic theory and trauma theory, but my work in the past few years has found its core in psychodynamic psychotherapy.
My articles on Complex Trauma have been published by Welldoing.org and Transcend Media Service (TMS). I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP).
Why Choose Group Supervision?
Group supervision is an opportunity to get together with other practitioners, in order to pay attention to the unconscious undertones of the therapeutic relationships that you are holding in your practice. You would receive an insight into your process with your clients not only from the group, but also from me as a supervisor. Supervision with me will cover you for your individual (1:1) clinical work.
Counts Towards: Your Monthly Clinical Supervision or Continued Professional Development (CPD). You can either count group supervision towards your monthly clinical supervision requirements, or alternatively, I can issue annual CPD certificate confirming your hours in the group to count towards your professional register requirements.
Fortnightly Supervision Groups, Timings and Fees
Saturday Mornings Group: 2nd and 4th Saturday of the Month. Timings: 10.30am to 12.15pm (1h45m). Max 3 practitioners. Fees: £40 per practitioner.
