Supervision details

I am an experienced Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and Clinical Supervisor, committed to supporting therapists and mental health professionals in delivering effective, evidence-based care. My approach is structured, reflective, and skills-focused, ensuring clinicians develop confidence and competence in their practice.

With a strong commitment to health inequalities and culturally responsive therapy, I integrate traditional CBT models with an understanding of systemic barriers that may impact client engagement. My work spans individual therapy, corporate mental health services, and group supervision settings.

Supervision Approach
I offer collaborative, skills-based, and reflective supervision, helping practitioners refine their clinical practice through:

  • Case conceptualisation – Enhancing formulation skills for complex cases.
  • Therapeutic techniques – Developing effective CBT interventions.
  • Ethical and professional development – Ensuring safe and competent practice.
  • Cultural competence in therapy – Addressing systemic inequalities in mental health care.
  • Substance misuse and addiction – Supporting therapists working with co-occurring
  • mental health and addiction challenges.

Who I Work With
I provide clinical supervision to trainee and qualified CBT therapists, as well as professionals working within:

  • Primary and secondary care mental health services
  • Private practice and independent clinicians
  • Corporate settings and employee well-being programmes
  • Substance misuse and addiction services
  • Corporate and Group Supervision
  • Corporate Supervision: I support organisations and teams in enhancing staff well-being, resilience, and mental health awareness through structured supervision and consultation.
  • Group Supervision: I facilitate peer-led discussions that encourage shared learning, problem-solving, and reflective practice in a supportive environment.
