Supervision
Patsy is a registered as a Psychotherapist with the Irish Association of Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy (IAHIP) and an experienced and registered clinical supervisor. He holds a membership of the European Association for Psychotherapy (EAP).
Patsy is an accredited Balint group facilitator and supervisor.
He can provide supervision and clinical consultation to qualified and trainee counsellors and psychotherapists in his private practice and within agency settings. Whilst he primarily supervise practitioners who work within a Humanistic framework, he also has experience of supervising clinicians who work in different modalities and whom may use psychodynamic concepts as a central aspect of their clinical practice.
In supervision Patsy’s aim is to support the therapist by:
exploring unconscious processes in the clinical material presented
linking theory with practice
working with the transference and countertransference in order to deepen an understanding of the client's inner world
addressing issues of technical difficulty in the clinical work which may be hindering the therapist's efficacy
encouraging the therapist to develop their own ways of reflecting, thinking and processing clinical material, in order that they establish their own identity as a therapist over time
Within supervision he draws on his own clinical experience in private practice, the HSE, Employee Assistance Programmes, counselling agencies and the voluntary sector, together with his experience of teaching and supervising trainee and qualified clinicians both individually and in groups.
