Supervision details

Supervision, for me, is relational and collaborative. Just as I describe therapy as a partnership where we explore what is troubling and look for sustainable ways forward, supervision is a similar reflective process for practitioners. It’s an opportunity to notice what’s going on in your clinical work - the patterns, the emotional impact, and the relational nuances that often sit beneath the surface.

I aim to create an environment where you can bring your work with honesty and explore it with curiosity - without fear of judgment - and where both support and challenge are present in service of growth, clarity and ethical practice. I believe attention to the relational and emotional experience in supervision enriches your capacity to think with your clients more deeply.

I draw on my extensive experience as a psychodynamic counsellor, EMDR therapist and CBT psychotherapist, including work across NHS, charity and private settings. I supervise both trainee and qualified therapists, and I’m comfortable working with complexity, ethical dilemmas, boundary questions, and the emotional impact of clinical work. I have also undertaken a qualification in supervision with the British Psychological Society and am fully insured as a supervisor.

My supervision includes:

  • Space for reflection on clinical work and its impact
  • Exploration of relational themes and patterns
  • Ethical thinking and professional decision-making
  • Developmental support for confidence and professional identity

I work in line with professional ethical frameworks and invite you to contact me to discuss whether working together feels like a good fit.

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.
