Supervision details
Sometimes the most important information in therapy is not only what was said, but what was felt, sensed, enacted or held within the therapeutic relationship. Body-informed supervision creates space to notice these moments alongside ethical reflection, theory and clinical decision-making.
I offer body-informed supervision for counsellors, psychotherapists, play therapists and other helping professionals working with trauma, grief, emotional overwhelm, neurodivergence, children, young people and adults.
My approach is rooted in person-centred values, informed by embodied practice, and shaped by many years working across counselling, play therapy, Clay Field Therapy®, NHS bereavement services, clinical leadership and service development. This breadth of experience allows me to support practitioners working with both straightforward and highly complex clinical presentations.
Supervision with me can help you think more clearly about:
• clinical process and relational dynamics
• trauma, grief, attachment and developmental experience
• what you notice in yourself, regulation and nervous-system cues
• risk, safeguarding and ethical decision-making
• neurodivergence, sensory needs and emotional regulation
• your own presence, limits and responses as a practitioner
• countertransference, therapeutic presence and use of self
This approach is particularly valuable when something important is happening in the room but is difficult to articulate. Together we can explore what the client, the therapeutic relationship and your own embodied experience may be communicating beneath the spoken narrative.
I offer a calm, reflective and structured space in which to slow down and make sense of the work rather than simply react to it. Where appropriate, our supervision may include simple embodied or sensory reflection alongside discussion. These approaches are offered gently and only where they support the clinical work. You do not need to work creatively or practise Clay Field Therapy® to benefit.
My aim is to support safe, ethical, thoughtful and sustainable practice, while helping you remain connected to both your clinical thinking and what you are noticing in the room.
Whether you're newly qualified, experienced, or integrating more body-informed or relational ways of working into your practice, supervision offers a space to think deeply, practise safely and continue developing with confidence.
I welcome counsellors, psychotherapists, play therapists and other professionals looking for body-informed supervision, relational supervision or supervision informed by trauma and attachment.
I offer supervision in Liverpool and online throughout the UK. If you're wondering whether we'd work well together, I'd be happy to arrange an initial conversation.
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.
