Supervision Profile

I have supervised the work of experienced registered therapists and trainees from the Bowlby Center, Roehampton University, Regents College and Metanoia. Currently, I am supervising the work of registered colleagues from the Bowlby Centre, Regents College, the Westminster Pastoral Foundation, and trainees from Roehampton University. I am conversant with Relational psychoanalysis and person centred, psychodynamic, attachment, narrative and existential theoretical approaches. At present, I am working only from my Twickenham practice.
