Supervisor

Supervision details

I am a BABCP-accredited CBT Psychotherapist who holds the qualification as a BABCP Clinical Supervisor. I have over 7 years of post-qualification experience delivering evidence-based psychological interventions within both NHS primary care services and private practice.

My clinical areas of expertise include trauma/PTSD, OCD, ADHD and chronic illness. I further really enjoy working with social anxiety, panic disorder and low self-esteem.

While deeply rooted in traditional CBT protocols for depression and anxiety disorders, I specialise in helping supervisees ground their work in the psychological flexibility of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and the soothing emotional regulation of Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), which is perfect for clients struggling with deep-seated shame or self-criticism. Furthermore, as an EMDR therapist, I bring a robust trauma lens to conceptualisation, helping you recognise when processing blocks occur and how to safely navigate trauma presentations.

I believe supervision should be a safe, restorative space and my practice is deeply collaborative and evidence-led, ensuring that sessions move beyond simple case updates to actively foster a compassionate, reflective learning environment.

I am fully proficient in using the Cognitive Therapy Scale - Revised (CTS-R) to evaluate live or recorded sessions, offering constructive, encouraging feedback to refine your skills without the fear of judgment.
