Supervision details

I have a special interest in working with trauma presentations, and I am particularly keen to supervise practitioners working with refugees, and people with complex trauma presentations. I am also very keen to support practitioners working with Neurodivergent people, as well as Neurodivergent therapists. I am ND myself so very keen to provide affirming, supportive and adapted supervision that feels safe as well as enriching. I particularly love working creatively in supervision and I'm very open to supervisees bringing experiences, specialities and modalities that may be new to me, but an important part of the work you are delivering. 

As an EMDR Consultant I can support EMDR practitioners wishing to gain or maintain accreditation as practitioners or Consultants.
