what supervision services
do you offer?
I offer group and
individual
clinical and training
supervision to counsellors,
therapists and supervisors at all levels of experience
working in many different contexts. I work with individuals and privately
organised groups or pairs, organisations, training institutions, placements,
therapy services. I can provide group supervision at one
of my practices or at a site of your choosing.
The frequency, duration and format of the
sessions is something we decide together when we meet.
On-line
and telephone supervision
is available
by special arrangement.
I adopt an open flexible attitude to different personal styles of working.
The culture and context of your work are integral factors in the supervision;
depending what our work is we might need to consider all or some of these: time
limits, space constraints,
client group, goals of therapy, funding, service monitoring, assessment methodologies,
management directives and so on.
While following your preferred theory base and taking into account contextual
and ethical issues, my
mode of enquiry
starts with
phenomenological
questions. (see
existential philosophy for more about
phenomenology).
My
style of working is professional, supportive, encouraging and thorough.

what group services do you offer?
The group services currently
offered by avenue practice are aimed at GP practices, organisations, corporations
and services. We offer a range of services tailored to your group
needs from running groups for a range of purposes, to offering
consultancy and being direct involved with setting up groups.
We also offer a variety of team building activity programmes.
In keeping with the philosophy and ethos
at avenue practice, groups are considered to be very important
therapeutic and experiential medium. We are, after all, born into a world of people, a
shared world. We impact on others and they influence us too. Everyone
has experience of groups in their lives. Once we begin to enumerate
situations in which we have been part of a group, we often begin to
lose count: family, with our friends, in school classes, sports, work
situations, organisations, social groups, clubs, political parties,
neighbourhood, religious communities and the list goes on. To a greater or lesser extent, we experience ourselves differently
when we find ourselves among different groups of people. Facilitated
groups are an ideal format to learn how we are perceived and to test
our perceptions and assumptions about ourselves and others.

crisis work &
critical incident debriefing
about crisis work and critical incident debriefing
Crises take many forms, but what is significant in
how they affect us as individuals is that they most usually force us to see our
worlds and values very differently, leaving us bereft of what we thought we were
certain about ourselves and our world - it can be a crisis of meaning. When we
are caught unexpectedly in such a situation that shocks us and shakes our world,
we can feel overwhelmed and unable to cope on our own. Often
we feel we cannot function on a day to day level. This response may be short
term, or may endure for a longer time. Crisis work offers a space and support
for someone in the depths of a crisis. Often there are no solutions to tough
situations, but people in crisis can find a deep solace in being with someone
who can bear to be with them and is able to tolerate their pain and sense of
disorientation. There can be something inexpressibly profound in sharing one's
humanity with another at such times. This kind of work might lead to
longer term work or might simply serve as a short series of meetings.
Critical incident debriefing is a term which
encompasses different methodologies which are used to work with people who have
suffered trauma. Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) is one such approach which
is very directive and encourages a person who has suffered a trauma, either
recent or past, to focus on the traumatic incident and describe it in detail
repeatedly. There are various stages to this approach and some find it to be
very beneficial. There is some elasticity around the length and number of
sessions using TIR, depending on how well the client responds to the work.
Simone Lee is trained in TIR. Other colleagues in her network use EMDR and other
methodologies too.

what does this training
offer?
This strand of Simone Lee's work at avenue practice draws on
years of training, practice and experience in this down-to-earth and
highly rewarding area of experiential and ordinary learning. Existentialism,
existential phenomenological theory and practice and existential
themes integrate with other approaches and many different
interpersonal disciplines - the terminology belies a very simple mode
of addressing the world and our relationships.
Ideal as a CPD module for staff working with clients in a helping
mode, this training can be customised to help focus you and your team
on the very basics of human to human engagement. Regrounding and
recentering oneself requires asking some very basic questions - so
simple that sometimes people find it hard to shake off some
theoretical and received assumptions about what is going on when we
meet another person. A phenomenological approach does not debunk
theory, rather it provides a reliable touchstone from which to
validate what is going on. Unveiling the tiers of assumptions we
have about ourselves, one another and, in particular, the clients we
work with can lead to deeply rewarding and enriched relationships.
Simone Lee is an experienced
teacher and trainer in this area of therapeutic work and can tailor
programmes to accommodate your needs. Simone Offers training online
(on-line CPD being a very effective and growing area of development),
at her home practice in Finchley, North London, at Central London
locations and nationwide by arrangement.

about the psychological assessment and referral service
Simone Lee offers this
service both in-house to agency services and to providers of
psychological services, factoring in the variables which govern the
commissioning agency or organisation, to arrive at an appropriate
assessment.
Simone is very familiar with
CORE assessment forms and is willing to use these in addition to
other effective lifestyle and risk assessment criteria. Alternatively,
Simone uses other risk assessment formulations when these are
required.
For many years, Simone
conducted and trained in assessment procedures at a large mental
health organisation and is cognisant of a broad range of possibilities
of psychological interventions that are available which complement her
keen sense of people's needs . In addition, practical and supportive
ie non-psychological modes of intervention might also be recommended
in the assessment report when they are identified.
Complementary to the
assessment service, Simone Lee is able to offer a referral service,
communicating with appropriate parties to help inform (formal or
informal) partners in the assessee's care plan and seeking to find the
best available service to meet the assessee's current needs.

When Simone Lee is unable to
meet your current needs, she is glad to have a network of accredited
and qualified practitioners she can refer you to who might accommodate
your specific requirements. There is currently no fee for this
service. Please do ask if this is a service you require. The
practitioners are typically UKCP, BACP and/or BPS registered and are
experienced in a range of therapeutic approaches and presenting
issues. They are based in London and Nationwide.
Additionally, Simone
maintains a current database of reputable organisations who offer
psychotherapy and counselling which she refers to.
For those on low-incomes
seeking low-cost counselling, Simone maintains a database of
counsellors who might not yet be professionally registered but who
have completed considerable training, who are willing to meet with you
at a reduced fee.
