Supervision details

I offer clinical supervision for counsellors, psychotherapists, coaches and other mental health professionals who want a thoughtful, supportive and appropriately challenging space to reflect on their work. I work with both trainees and experienced practitioners, with supervision tailored to your level of experience, professional context and development needs. I also offer reflective practice for teams.

My approach is integrative, relational and collaborative. I aim to provide a professional thinking space where we can explore client work, practitioner process, ethical dilemmas and relational dynamics, while supporting you to work safely, effectively and sustainably.

am a BACP-accredited psychotherapist and qualified clinical supervisor, having completed my most recent training in Clinical Supervision at The Awareness Centre. My supervision training has drawn on a range of integrative, relational and developmental approaches, including Hawkins & Shohet’s Seven-Eyed Model, Inskipp & Proctor’s Functional Model, Clarkson’s relational framework, and Stoltenberg & McNeill’s developmental model of supervision.

I began my clinical career over ten years ago in the NHS, working across Older Adults, Adult Services, CAMHS, Learning Disability and Systemic Family teams, before moving into private practice. I maintain an active clinical practice, working one-to-one with adults, couples, children and young people. This ongoing clinical work keeps my supervision grounded in the realities of contemporary therapeutic practice.

Alongside my clinical work, I am an author, keynote speaker and founder of a mental health consultancy, working with organisations on mental health, leadership and organisational culture. This wider experience informs my supervision practice, particularly when working with practitioners navigating complex systems, teams, professional roles or organisational dynamics.

In supervision, I aim to balance support and challenge, helping supervisees reflect on their work with curiosity and compassion while remaining grounded in professional and ethical frameworks. Supervision is a space to think together about client material, practitioner process, boundaries, transference and countertransference, risk, ethical dilemmas and the personal impact of the work.

Sessions are shaped around your needs, whether you are:

  • A trainee developing your therapeutic identity, confidence and clinical skills
  • An experienced practitioner wanting a reflective space to deepen or refresh your practice
  • Working with complex client presentations, risk, safeguarding or ethical dilemmas
  • Thinking through boundaries, transference, countertransference or challenging therapeutic relationships
  • Developing or managing a private practice
  • Integrating different therapeutic approaches or evolving your own way of working
  • Navigating burnout, compassion fatigue or the personal impact of therapeutic work
  • Seeking a psychologically informed space to think about complex relational, clinical or organisational dynamics
  • A coach or other helping professional wanting reflective supervision around your work and professional relationships
  • A team looking for structured reflective practice, support and space to think together about challenging work

We will review our work regularly to ensure supervision continues to meet your professional goals and remains useful, supportive and appropriately challenging.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
