Supervision
Professional Supervision
Absolutely everyone needs someone to talk with about their work at some point during their employed life, whether they simply need a space to freely air grievances or frustrations, or to find new directions forward and receive assistance in making professional and/or personal changes. Many organisations will offer professional supervision and some will make it a requirement within their workplace policy. Having someone who is external to your employer and sometimes even to your profession can offer rewarding results and interesting insights. Employee assistance programs are effective at providing crisis support, but for long-term or deeper set issues only a highly trained and experienced mental health professional can give you the evidence based therapeutic guidance to find balance and success.
Research is constantly emerging, reflecting the growing concern around mental health in the workplace, including the impact of high and intense workloads, personal stress and vicarious trauma. The effect of vicarious trauma on professionals dealing with violent and distressing material is recognised as needing further work, especially with those in the judicial fields. Both debriefing and consultation are key in managing and negating the detrimental effects of vicarious trauma. Having spent the past 6 years working in sexualised violence, on the back of a 20+ year career in dealing with vicarious trauma on a daily basis, and alongside her own personal experience of significant trauma, Amberley is a specialist in this area, offering quality and professional supervision.
Through Amberley's extensive experience she has worked with people from a vast array of backgrounds and cultures, and has consistently found that psychology has relevance in all areas of life, and that the value of being heard and cared for can never be underestimated. Good supervision can help you find positive balance between your professional and personal life, assist with career advancement or changes, and provide you with a safe place to explore issues that might be causing distress and/or discomfort and help you develop your skills and knowledge.
Sessions are 1 hour, longer sessions and fees are available on request.
