Supervision details

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

My approach is collaborative, relational, and grounded in current evidence-based practice. I aim to offer a safe and open space to explore clinical work, challenges, and professional development without judgement.

I have a strong focus on ethical practice, including risk, boundaries, and complex clinical decision-making, with attention to both client safety and practitioner wellbeing.

I specialise in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), supporting formulation development, intervention planning, and the integration of CBT within broader therapeutic approaches. However, I also supervise practitioners from a range of modalities. My lecturing and academic work is grounded in a multi-modality framework, and I enjoy working across theoretical approaches, tailoring supervision to your training, experience, and clinical context.

Alongside my clinical work, I am a lecturer and research supervisor in counselling and CBT, which allows me to bring current theory, research, and professional standards into supervision.

My aim is to support you in developing a reflective, confident and sustainable practice. Supervision is available online across the UK.

Please reach out either on Counselling Directory or via my website. 

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.
