Supervision details
Supervision should offer more than oversight of clinical work. It can provide a space to slow down, think together and explore the complexities of therapy without feeling that you need to arrive with all the answers.
I am a qualified Clinical Supervisor, Integrative Psychotherapist, BABCP Accredited CBT Therapist, Schema Therapist and EMDR Practitioner. I offer clinical supervision to CBT therapists, counsellors and integrative psychotherapists, from newly qualified practitioners developing their confidence through to experienced therapists seeking specialist consultation or a reflective space for their work.
My Supervisory Approach
My approach to supervision is collaborative, formulation-led and grounded in curiosity. Rather than imposing one way of working, I aim to help you develop a clearer understanding of your clients, consider different clinical perspectives and make thoughtful decisions that remain consistent with your therapeutic approach and professional responsibilities.
Supervision may include exploring:
- Assessment, formulation and treatment planning
- Complex or overlapping presentations
- Difficulties or “stuck points” within therapy
- Risk, safeguarding, boundaries and ethical decision-making
- Relational dynamics and the therapeutic relationship
- Therapist responses, including uncertainty, self-doubt or emotional impact
- Adapting therapy for neurodivergent clients
- Endings, transitions and longer-term therapeutic work
- Professional development and confidence
- Sustainable practice and therapist well-being
I believe that effective supervision attends both to the needs of the client and to the therapist behind the work. My aim is to offer an open, supportive and appropriately challenging space in which you can think honestly, explore uncertainty and develop trust in your clinical judgement.
Specialist Clinical Areas
I have particular experience supporting therapists whose work involves:
- Eating disorders and eating difficulties, including binge eating disorder, ARFID, anorexia and bulimia
- OCD and intrusive thoughts across a range of presentations
- Trauma, PTSD and Complex PTSD
- Neurodivergence, including autism and ADHD
- Emetophobia, body image difficulties and Body Dysmorphic Disorder
- Shame, self-criticism, emotional regulation and relational difficulties
- Complex, long-standing or overlapping presentations
My clinical work draws on CBT, CBT-E, CBT-AR, Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), EMDR and integrative psychotherapy. This allows us to consider cases from different perspectives while keeping the supervisee’s own modality, competence and scope of practice clearly in mind.
Please note that, while my experience as an EMDR Practitioner may inform our broader clinical thinking, I do not provide supervision for the purpose of formal EMDR accreditation.
Experience and Professional Background
I have over ten years of clinical experience across NHS mental health services, specialist eating-disorder services, trauma-informed psychotherapy services and private practice.
Alongside my clinical work, I am the current Chair of the BABCP Eating Disorders Special Interest Group and work as a clinical supervisor and trainer. My experience includes providing clinical supervision for CBT for Eating Disorders at the University of Sheffield and supporting therapists in developing safe, evidence-based and thoughtful practice.
I can also support supervisees in reflecting on their professional identity, developing specialist areas of practice and considering how evidence-based models can be applied flexibly without losing their clinical integrity.
Who I Work With
I welcome enquiries from:
- CBT therapists
- Counsellors and psychotherapists
- Integrative practitioners
- Newly qualified and experienced therapists
- Practitioners developing their work with eating disorders, OCD, trauma or neurodivergence
- Therapists looking for supplementary specialist supervision alongside their existing supervisory arrangements
Supervision can be provided face-to-face in Menai Bridge or Llandudno, or online across the UK and internationally. If you would like to discuss your supervision needs and whether my experience would be a good fit, you are very welcome to get in touch for an initial conversation.
The BABCP is the lead organisation for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in the UK. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in the practice, theory or development of CBT. BABCP also provides accreditation for CBT therapists. BABCP accredited members adhere to the Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics in the Practice of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies, and are willing to be scrutinised in this adherence as required.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
