Supervision details
** All available hours for free supervision while I'm undergoing training have now been taken. I hope to be available as a qualified supervisor in July 2026**
I’m a person-centred counsellor and a supervisor-in-training, currently offering free supervision to qualified therapists and second-year trainees working with individual adults. This might be useful to any practitioner interested in exploring the current chapter of your work in greater depth, or to anyone who has worked primarily with one supervisor, who might now be intrigued to gain experience of different approaches to supervision.
My background as a counsellor is in both private practice and as a member of the clinical development team at established Glasgow counselling charity, Healing for the Heart. I have worked with a breadth of client experiences and I have had the opportunity to work alongside and learn from colleagues I admire greatly.
I take tremendous interest in my peers’ client work and their approaches to practice, and I hope to turn that sincere interest and care for both counsellor and client into a focused, attentive, and supportive supervisory dynamic.
As a supervisor, I will seek to develop a working bond between us, coming from a place of genuine curiosity about you and your work. I will be attentive to your boundaries, I will offer gentle challenge when appropriate, and I will invite you to reflect on what it means to be congruent and connected with your values while offering so much of yourself to the client.
My approach to this work will be primarily influenced by Proctor’s model of clinical supervision. I want to work from a place of real faith in the practitioner, without ever losing sight of our responsibility to the client.
If you would be interested in working with me and developing that supervisor-supervisee alliance together, I would love to hear from you.
I should note that I’m not able to supervise client work for which I do not have relevant training, which would include:
- Work with couples
- Work with perpetrators of abuse
- Work where addiction is the primary focus of therapy
- Work with clients presenting with eating disorders as the primary focus of therapy
- Work with any client under the age of 18
My offer of supervision during my time in training is for 6-8 hours without any cost to the supervisee. These hours could be offered online or in person at the counselling offices I use in Glasgow city centre. As I'm in training, anyone wishing to take up this offer would need to continue working with their own, qualified individual supervisor during this time. The hours I am offering would be supplementary, but they would count as supervision hours for any qualified practitioner's records. For second-year trainees, you would need to confirm if they would count toward the supervision expectation for your course.
I will be glad to offer a short introductory call to anyone curious to see if I might be a good match.
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.
