Supervisor • Pronoun: she

Supervision details

As a trauma-informed, qualified supervisor, I offer a supportive, collaborative space for counsellors to reflect on their practice, develop professionally, and maintain ethical standards. My supervision approach is grounded in person-centred principles, ensuring that you feel respected, valued, and empowered throughout our work together.

I believe supervision should be a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can explore challenges, celebrate successes, and deepen your understanding of both your clients and yourself as a practitioner. Together, we will focus on your development, ethical decision-making, and self-care, while maintaining the highest standards of professional practice.

My trauma-informed perspective means I am sensitive to the impact of trauma—not only on clients but also on counsellors. I prioritise safety, choice, and control in supervision, encouraging open dialogue about boundaries, triggers, and resilience. This approach helps you feel supported when working with complex or emotionally demanding cases.

Supervision sessions are collaborative and tailored to your needs. We can explore casework, theoretical frameworks, and practical strategies, as well as your personal responses and professional growth. I integrate reflective practice, ethical considerations, and creative techniques to make supervision meaningful and effective.

Whether you are newly qualified or experienced, my aim is to help you feel confident, competent, and connected in your work. Supervision is not just about compliance—it’s about growth, insight, and sustaining your passion for counselling.

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.

Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
