Claire Glover

Counselling Supervisor

My approach to supervision is collaborative, relational (exploring how we connect to ourselves, others, and our world) and developmental (in that our supervisory needs change over time). I hope to create a space where you feel safe to explore your clients and yourself and to consider how this can then inform your work.

I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling (YSJ) and a Diploma in Supervision (SCIPTI) and am a member of the BACP. I work from an humanistic integrative approach believing that the client is at the heart of the work we do. My original training was largely person centred however my own experience and additional training means I also work from a Gestalt perspective focusing on the whole (mind, body and emotions), in the present moment and with a curiosity about the relational dynamics that occur. As helpful I incorporate neuroscience and polyvagal theory into the work with clients and supervises and especially how this can support ourselves and our work. I also integrate elements of both body psychotherapy and creative work into both my counselling and supervisory work.

I co-founded York Counselling Practise in 2020 a busy private practice working with a range of clients helping them understand themselves further. Themes I work with include (but not limited to) anxiety, depression, childhood & life events, relationship issues, trauma and how their 'body keeps score'. I also offer training in subjects such as anxiety and working creatively.

I work with both qualified and in training supervisees and offer individual and group supervision. I work face to face from rooms in central York (Just off Nunnery Lane/Bishopthorpe Road)

I offer an initial 30 minute telephone call free of charge to explore how it maybe for us to work together. Supervision costs £60 per hour and I offer a concession rate for counselling students whilst they are in training.
