Clinical Supervision in a safe, comfortable and private setting
Providing qualified counsellors with regular and ongoing opportunities to reflect in depth about all aspects of their practice, in order to work effectively , safely and ethically.
Anita Dunford - BSc Therapeutic Counselling and Psychotherapy. MBACP (Accred)
I am a qualified Clinical Supervisor, and I work within the ethical guidelines of the BACP.
My training, and work style, is based on the Relational Model, which is grounded in the premise that many of our problems take root in troubled interpersonal relationships both in the past and present. I am very much informed by attachment theory and work from a trauma-informed practice.
My experience includes work with common mental health problems, grief and loss, anxiety,relationship issues, self-esteem, and trauma. I am particularly interested in early life trauma and the impact of this on individuals.
I enjoy working with clients and approaching their issues as something that's "happened to them” rather than something that's "wrong with them",and I take pride in helping clients learn about the psycho-educational model and regain their power.
Seven - Eyed Model of Supervision
My supervision training is based on the Seven-Eyed Supervision model, developed by Peter Hawkins and Robin Shohet in 1985, who integrated supervision's relational and systemic aspects into a single theoretical model. The model is a relational model as its focus is on the relationship between the Client, Therapist, and Supervisor and the
relational interplay between the relationships and their context in the wider system.
My aim is to provide you with a safe, supported environment that is formative, normative, and restorative.
My training is mapped to the BACP Supervision Competence Framework, the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) Good Practice Guide for Supervision and the Association for Counselling and Therapy Online (ACTO) online Supervision Competencies.

The current BACP baseline for supervision differs according to
membership category: Accredited members (or those working towards accreditation) need to ensure they have a minimum of 1.5 hours per cal calendar month, and additional supervision, dependent on their caseload, and the context within which they work. This does not need an include to be with the same supervisor and cand include some group supervision. For full details please refer to BACP GPiA 054
