Supervision details

As an IAPT trained clinical supervisor, with extensive experience as a CBT therapist, I appreciate that supervision is a vital space for growth, reflection, and support. I offer individual supervision to CBT therapists and trainees who are looking for a collaborative, compassionate, and trauma-informed space to develop their practice.

My Approach

Supervision with me is a shared, supportive process - a place where your clinical work, confidence, and wellbeing are all respected and explored. I aim to create a warm and curious environment where you feel safe bringing both your challenges and your successes.

I draw on the CBT supervisory framework, while also incorporating ideas from Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Sessions are tailored to your needs - whether that’s exploring formulations, refining interventions, thinking about the therapeutic relationship, or reflecting on your personal responses to the work.

Supervision may include:

  • Case discussions and collaborative formulations
  • Unpicking stuck points and identifying new directions
  • Exploring therapeutic process and use of self
  • Supporting reflective practice and values-led work
  • Helping you feel confident and steady in your role

Who I Work With

I offer supervision to:

  • Qualified CBT therapists seeking a reflective and collaborative space
  • CBT trainees working toward qualification or accreditation
  • Therapists working in IAPT/NHS settings or private practice
  • Those working with clients presenting with trauma, anxiety, depression, or complex patterns

My Background in Supervision

  • Trained in CBT Clinical Supervision (University of Birmingham)
  • Accredited CBT therapist with the BABCP
  • Over 14 years’ experience in the mental health field
  • Experience working in IAPT, private charity and private practice
  • Supervision style rooted in collaboration, curiosity, and emotional safety
