Supervisor

Supervision details

I offer supervision to a range of professionals, not only psychologists, focused on providing person centred support and the conditions for professional development. 

My area of speciality is in working with neurodiversity (Autism and ADHD). This includes adapting psychological therapies and Neurodevelopmental Assessment. In my NHS role, I am a clinical lead for an adult autism diagnostic service, where I provide clinical leadership and supervision to the team. I contribute to the training of clinical psychologists in both supervising placements and in teaching on the Clinical psychology doctorate. I also train professionals in autism assessment and I’m able to offer specialist supervision in assessment and the use of relevant tools. 

In addition to my neurodevelopmental focused work, I am very interested in psychological therapies. I have an interest in third wave CBT approaches, particularly in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In my NHS role I am co-chair for our trust ACT special interest group and offer specialist supervision in using ACT as a model. 

If you are interested in having a conversation about how we could work together, please get in touch.

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.

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.
