Contracting...the relational supervisor

In contracting with the supervisee I want to encourage open-ness, to promote courage to speak freely, to provide a secure base to explore the difficulties and the counter-transference responses. I will raise with authenticity my countertransference responses, exploring all that is said both verbally and non verbally. The exploration of the most challenging will uncover deep learning and therefore I will encourage analysis of these areas. If I identify problem areas I would want to explore these in depth prior to implementing formal procedures. And finally I would encourage the supervisee to express him or herself in relation to feedback for me.

Feedback from your supervisee is important. Warmest Vivien

Why I established my writing business....

Why I established my writing business………..

As a Child of a Deaf Adult (CoDA), a former British Sign Language Interpreter and a Psychotherapist, I am fascinated and very attuned to the world of the non verbal. My book was born out of my experience of being nurtured by a deaf mother and my findings in relation to my own daughter and the development of our successful early communication system. I have a very important message for all parents. My deep unwavering passion is to share this across the globe.

Do you want to learn more about your baby's body language....if so contact me!

A little more about my mini book………..

My mini book has been described as “an absolute gift to all parents.” I began writing my book in late October 2010 and completed my first draft by January 2011. I am currently writing books two and three in my Baby Body Language series.

In addition to my book writing I am offering my clinical services to parents to learn about their baby’s body language in support of developing an even deeper bond and “even more parenting confidence."

Warmest wishes from a very excited mum!

Love Vivien

Writing - my new business!!

All about my new business………

My new business is writing. Ordinarily nothing to write home about!!! However, my first book in my mini series will support parents across the world to communicate with their babies from the day they are born!

Has this made you “stop dead in your tracks?” I have penned a “terrific” mini book that engages you the reader with some “fascinating and astounding” parenting information. It is the first in a series of mini books in communicating with and understanding baby body language.

I am a first time author and my mini book is aimed at time poor new mums (and dads). Baby Body Language-Your Guide to Communicating with Your Baby From Day One© is a unique guide to understanding and communicating with your infant from the day they experience ‘life outside the womb’. Yes I said day one! I have created a “revolutionary method” named The Blossom Method© and uniquely Tongue-Talking©. In addition to my findings I have worked with other mothers and fathers to support them in developing their skills utilising my findings and methods.

How exciting!!

I'll keep you posted on publishing news.

Warmest from a very excited mum!

A Poem - Reflections - 13th February 2004

Today I feel angry, happy and sad

Full of emotions and some of them bad

I feel half excited and half mad

Crazy in love

Dripping in blood

Battered and beaten

Bitter and sweetened

Physically drained

Emotionally pained

It's all too deep

Affecting my sleep

Tears pour down

Puddles of love

Push and shove

Feel them heartbreaking

Shattering, lonely

Splattering over

Where love lost

And life died

A million tears cried.

A little bit about me, the author, the psychotherapist, the mother....

Vivien Sabel: UKCP Relational Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor, Infant Communication Consultant and Mother.

I am a researcher, writer and psychotherapist in full-time practice in North Yorkshire, UK. I have recently written the first in a mini book series in Baby Body Language. The mini book has been globally reviewed by best selling parenting authors, mothers, fathers, professors, psychotherapists, parenting experts, sleep consultants, child psychotherapists, etc. and the reviews have been fantastic. My book is now with a publisher and they are reviewing it for potential publication...exciting times!!

The book content has been described as "ground-breaking, fascinating, astounding, wonderful, insightful, innovative" and much more....

The title of this book is up for debate..any thoughts or suggestions will be considered........

I have Masters equivalent degrees in Integrative Psychotherapy and Psychodynamic Counselling. I have two further Postgraduate Certificates in Clinical Supervision and Management. I studied for my first undergraduate degree in Deaf Studies (and Sign Language Interpreting) and originally graduated in 1996.

Although I am hearing, I am fluent in British Sign Language (BSL) and formerly trained (University of Bristol) and registered as a Trainee BSL Interpreter. My mother is profoundly deaf and uses Lip-reading as an aid to communication. As a result of my upbringing and nurturing with deafness, I consider myself to be fluent in the language of the body and non-verbal communication. In my clinical practice I utilise this to great affect where I address the incongruence between non-verbal and verbal utterances in support of my clients deepening of their own self understanding and awareness.

Please get in touch if you would like me to write for you or provide you with some expertise! Warmest Vivien
