Supervision details

Clinical supervision offers a reflective and supportive space to think deeply about your work, your wellbeing, and your professional development. I provide clinical supervision to therapists, counsellors, and professionals in health, education, and social care, supporting emotional resilience, thoughtful practice, and growth in complex and demanding environments.

My approach to clinical supervision is grounded in over 20 years of clinical experience and shaped by two evidence-based approaches: psychodynamic theory and Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT). Psychodynamic thinking helps us explore how early relationships shape current patterns, while MBT supports our ability to understand our own thoughts and feelings, and those of others. Both approaches offer rich opportunities for insight, reflection, and change.

Creativity is central to how I work. As an Art Psychotherapist, I bring creative and arts-based methods into clinical supervision and reflective practice where helpful, whether that’s drawing, painting, scribbling, or simply choosing colours. You don’t need to be “good” at art; it’s not about technique, but about making sense of things in a different way. I work with and without art making, depending on the needs of the supervisee or group, offering creative methods where helpful.

I encourage all supervisee's to remain aware of their own professional registration requirements and frameworks. Supervision is available in person (South Queensferry) and online.

Reflective Practice Groups

I offer reflective practice groups for professionals in health, education, and social care, providing a space to pause, process, and strengthen insight, communication, and resilience in support of sustainable, compassionate practice.

HCPC

The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.

They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.

Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
