About me
I am currently only taking on supervision work, not therapy clients.
I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist and clinical supervisor offering individual supervision to therapists and practitioners working across the lifespan and from a range of therapeutic modalities.
I have particular expertise in neurodivergence and welcome both therapists working with neurodivergent clients and neurodivergent practitioners seeking supervision that is responsive to their individual ways of thinking, processing and working. Drawing on my extensive background in education, I also have a particular interest in supporting counsellors and therapists working within educational settings.
My supervisory approach is grounded in psychodynamic, relational and systemic thinking. I believe that effective supervision begins with a relationship in which practitioners feel safe, supported and able to think openly about their clinical work. I aim to provide a collaborative, reflective space where questions, uncertainties and challenges can be explored with curiosity, honesty and without judgement.
I welcome qualified therapists, trainees and other practitioners seeking clinical or reflective supervision. An initial conversation offers an opportunity for us to explore what you are looking for from supervision and consider together whether my approach and experience would be a good fit.
Training, qualifications & experience
Qualifications
Certificate in Clinical Supervision | MA Psychological Therapies | PG Child, Adolescent & Family Mental Wellbeing | PG SpLD | International Montessori Diploma
Professional Training and Experience
My professional background spans more than twenty years across psychotherapy, education, specialist provision and multidisciplinary practice.
I trained at the Tavistock as a psychodynamic psychotherapist working with children, adolescents, young adults and families, completing postgraduate clinical training and an MA in Psychological Therapies. My training was firmly grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy and also incorporated extensive systemic theory and practice.
I am also a trained clinical supervisor, having completed a Certificate in Clinical Supervision at the Metanoia Institute, through a multimodal training programme that prepared me to supervise practitioners working across different therapeutic orientations.
Before moving into psychotherapy, I worked extensively in education, including specialist teaching, special educational needs leadership, school development and senior leadership roles. This experience has given me a particularly strong understanding of the complex relationships between individual development, families, institutions and wider professional systems.
Throughout my career, I have worked collaboratively with professionals across psychiatry, psychology, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy. This multidisciplinary experience continues to inform my clinical and supervisory practice.
I am a member of the British Psychoanalytic Council and the Tavistock Society of Psychotherapists.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.
BPC registrants are governed by a code of ethics, a policy of continuing professional development, a statement on confidentiality and a complaints procedure.

I generally work with supervisees on a fortnightly basis, although I am open to discussing monthly sessions where appropriate, depending on individual circumstances and professional requirements.
I appreciate the financial demands of professional training and am open to discussing fees with practitioners who are currently in training.
Further information
I believe that effective clinical supervision involves more than reflecting on the therapeutic relationship and the complexities of clinical work. While these remain central to supervision, I also recognise the importance of attending to the wider professional development of the practitioner.
My experience, further informed by my training in clinical supervision, has reinforced my belief that supervisees benefit from being considered as whole people, bringing their individual experiences, perspectives, strengths and challenges into their professional lives.
I aim to provide a supervisory relationship that makes space not only for thoughtful clinical reflection but also for exploring questions of professional identity, confidence, development and direction as these emerge over time.
For me, supervision is both a space for supporting good clinical practice and an opportunity for practitioners to continue developing their own understanding of themselves and their work.
