Supervision details
My supervision is collaborative, reflective and grounded in a trauma-informed approach. I work with both trainee and qualified counsellors, offering a space where practitioners can think openly about their client work, therapeutic relationships, professional development and their own experiences within the work.
Supervision can include exploration of complex presentations, clinical risk, safeguarding and child protection, ethical dilemmas, professional boundaries, caseload management and the application of different therapeutic approaches, including CBT and person-centred practice. I support supervisees to consider not only what is happening for the client, but also what may be happening within the therapeutic relationship and how this may influence the work.
I also place significant importance on practitioner wellbeing. Therapeutic work can involve exposure to trauma, loss and distress, and I support counsellors to recognise and navigate vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, burnout and secondary stress. I have particular experience supporting professionals working within under-resourced and complex systems, including those navigating ambiguous loss, anticipatory grief, moral injury and difficult ethical decisions.
My supervision aims to balance support, reflection, accountability and professional challenge. I encourage supervisees to develop their clinical thinking and autonomy while ensuring that safeguarding, ethical practice and professional standards remain central.
I maintain a strong focus on clinical governance and ethical practice, while recognising that effective supervision also needs to provide space for curiosity, uncertainty and honest reflection. My aim is for supervisees to feel supported and appropriately challenged, leaving supervision with greater clarity, confidence and resilience in their professional role.
