Supervisor • her/she

Supervision details

I offer clinical supervision for qualified therapists, counselling trainees and mental health practitioners seeking a reflective, supportive and professionally grounded space to develop their clinical practice.

As a CBT therapist, clinical supervisor, lecturer and research supervisor in counselling and CBT, I bring together clinical experience, current evidence-based practice and a strong understanding of professional standards.

My supervision approach is collaborative, relational and tailored to your modality, experience and clinical context. I place strong value on the supervisory relationship as a foundation for meaningful reflection, learning and growth. I aim to provide a safe, encouraging space where you can explore client work, challenges and uncertainties, while developing confidence, curiosity and trust in your own clinical judgement.

I have a particular interest in supporting practitioners using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), including formulation, intervention planning and integrating CBT principles within broader therapeutic approaches. However, I also supervise therapists from a range of modalities and enjoy working across different theoretical perspectives.

My supervision includes attention to ethical practice, risk, boundaries and complex clinical decision-making, while holding in mind both client safety and practitioner wellbeing. Alongside my clinical work, I am a lecturer and research supervisor in counselling and CBT, allowing me to bring current theory, research and professional standards into my supervision practice.

My aim is to support you in developing a reflective, confident and sustainable practice, supporting not only your clinical skills but your longer-term growth and development as a therapist.

Supervision is available online across the UK. Please get in touch via Counselling Directory or my website to discuss whether we would be 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.
