What theoretical approaches do you use in supervision?
Supervision with me focuses on the application of Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). The setting of your work could be mental or physical health, work or education.
Do you offer supervision online?
Yes. Jim offers supervision both online through Zoom, where we can work together simply and securely.
How is ACT Supervision different?
ACT Supervision is your chance to talk about your work and your cases. You’ll get the chance to learn experientially, deepen your knowledge base and understanding of the ACT framework and develop your therapy skills.
The emphasis is on building your skills through functional analysis and experiential work such as role-playing. This is an invaluable part of your development. Our job here is to embody psychological flexibility by staying focused on functions of behaviour within contexts. This will help us to step over urges to over-think or getting pulled into content, which distracts from the key behavioural processes.
