*Currently taking on 1-2 supervisees*

Intersectional, integrative, trauma informed, social justice oriented, queer (GSRD) and neurodiversity affirming, nervous system/somatically focused, feminist supervision.

For me, supervision is about you, first and foremost. It’s about your wellbeing, your reflection, your sense of safety, as well as being about containment, challenge, solidarity and encouragement.

I work in a relational and embodied way, often bringing in movement and creative explorations when supervisees are comfortable.  Supervision is inherently therapeutic, I believe good supervision is anyway. I strive to provide a secure, enriching environment for you to explore yourself and your work with clients using a range of theoretical models, including Gestalt, Existential, Person Centred and Somatic. 

My style of supervision is based on the Seven-Eyed Model of Hawkins & Shohet and incorporates Michael Carroll's Tasks of Supervision Model. I particularly appreciate the Seven Eyed Model because of how it focuses on the relationships between client, therapist and supervisor as well as the interplay between each relationship. By looking through each ‘eye’, or distinct aspect of the therapeutic process, we use different lenses through which to see and experience therapy and supervision.

Supervision can be held online, in person at E9, or in Victoria Park. My therapy practice, supervision practice, teaching practice, and personal philosophy of counselling are based in an integrative paradigm which is largely humanistic and somatic. My supervision work covers individual and group supervision.

The fee for supervision is £70 for 50 mins, £80 for 60 mins, £100 for 75 mins and £115 for 90 minutes. Please do also take a look at my therapist profile to get more of a feel for me and how I work, and do get in touch with any questions.
