Supervision and Consultative Support

A Relational Approach to Clinical Practice 

I provide individual and group supervision to both trainees and qualified colleagues, drawing on extensive experience within the NHS and private practice. My approach is psychodynamically informed, offering a dedicated environment to explore the complexities of the therapeutic encounter.

The Supervisory Frame

Supervision is a space to bring whatever requires deeper thought—whether a case where you feel "stuck," unsettled, or simply curious. In our work, I pay close attention to both the clinical content and the emotional quality of the material you bring.

By noticing the nuances of the "here-and-now" in the supervisory relationship, we gain insight into the client's internal world and your experience of them. My aim is to facilitate your clinical thinking, providing a steadfast partnership that increases your own capacity and confidence within your day-to-day practice.

BPC
British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC)

The British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) is a professional association, representing the profession of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.

The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.

BPC registrants are governed by a code of ethics, a policy of continuing professional development, a statement on confidentiality and a complaints procedure. The BPC is a Member Society of the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (EFPP). Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

HCPC
Health and Care Professions Council (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.
