Finding the right supervisor can feel like a lot. You are trusting someone with your work, your doubts, and often the parts of yourself you don’t show anywhere else. If you are here, you are already doing something important for yourself and for your clients.

I am a counsellor and psychotherapist offering online supervision across the UK via secure video or telephone. My approach is integrative and primarily person‑centred, with CBT used where that feels helpful. My supervision is grounded in the Seven‑Eyed Model, which helps us look at your work from multiple angles: your client, your interventions, the therapeutic and supervisory relationships, and the wider contexts you are working in. I also draw on a Queer 7‑Eyed Model, bringing a deliberately intersectional aware lens so we can attend to sexuality, gender, relationship diversity, power and oppression where these are present in the work.

In practice, that means we can think together not just about “what to do next”, but also about how identity, culture and systems are shaping both your clients’ experiences and your own. I hold supervision as a collaborative space of support and accountability: somewhere you can be honest about uncertainty and stuckness, while also feeling gently challenged in service of your growth and your clients.

I hold an MSc (Distinction) in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Salford, a Biochemistry degree from the University of Liverpool, and Level 6 Supervisor training. My background includes extensive charity‑sector work with diverse communities and under‑resourced youth, working with young men through the pressures of college and university life, delivering wellbeing workshops, and volunteering with The Stroke Association.

My own minoritised background means I bring a lived understanding of cultural challenges, systemic barriers and the role identity can play in both client work and the experience of being a practitioner. I am curious about how power, privilege and oppression show up in the room and in supervision, and I aim to hold these conversations with care rather than shame.

I have a particular interest in the impact of technology on mental health, from social media and digital expectations to how online life shapes self‑image. My research into AI in the treatment of anxiety and depression has deepened my interest in how emerging technologies may affect mental health and the future of therapeutic work.

I work with trainees and qualified practitioners who want a reflective, supportive space to explore their practice with curiosity and honesty. Supervision with me is a place where you do not have to perform as “the therapist”. You can bring the professional and the human, the parts you feel proud of and the parts that feel more tender.

If this sounds like the kind of supervision you are looking for, you are very welcome to get in touch.
