Supervision details
Supervision shouldn’t feel like somewhere you have to prove you’re a ‘good enough’ therapist.
I offer integrative clinical supervision to qualified counsellors and trainees, providing a down-to-earth, collaborative space where you can talk honestly about your work – including the sessions that went brilliantly, the ones that left you wondering what on earth just happened, and everything in between.
My approach is relational, reflective and appropriately challenging. I’m not here to tell you how to be a therapist or expect you to work exactly as I do. I want to help you develop confidence in your own therapeutic identity, while keeping client safety, ethical practice and professional responsibility firmly at the centre.
Supervision with me is active. I’ll ask questions, share observations, help you explore different perspectives and gently challenge you when that’s useful. We can think together about client work, risk, boundaries, ethical dilemmas, safeguarding, therapeutic relationships, your responses to clients and the impact the work may be having on you.
My supervision training incorporates the Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision and the Integrated Developmental Model (IDM). This allows us to look at the client, the therapeutic relationship, your own process, the wider systems around the work and your development as a practitioner.
I work integratively and draw on person-centred therapy, CBT, attachment, trauma-informed and creative approaches. I’m also an EMDR therapist and have particular experience working with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, ADHD, neurodivergence and complex presentations.
Alongside private practice, my professional experience includes counselling, health and employability services and teaching counselling within further and higher education. I’m also currently undertaking postgraduate training in Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy.
I welcome both qualified and trainee counsellors. Whether you’re finding your feet, developing your private practice, working with more complex clients or simply want supervision where you can be yourself, my aim is to provide somewhere you can speak openly, feel supported and be appropriately challenged.
Sessions are available in person, online and by telephone.
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.
