Supervision details
Supervision for individuals and groups
I offer clinical supervision for psychotherapists, counsellors, trainees and those in other helping professions working with adults. I work with individuals or small groups of up to three for group supervision which can take place either in person at my practice or online.
My private practice and clinical supervision are guided by the ethical principles of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).
About My Supervision Practice
I am an integrative supervisor and my belief is that effective supervision is grounded in a relationship of mutual respect, openness, and collaboration. Recognising that every practitioner learns differently, I value the importance of individual learning styles, stages of development, and professional needs. My aim is to provide a supportive and appropriately challenging space that encourages reflection, deepens clinical understanding, and promotes safe, ethical, and effective practice. I offer clear ethical guidance when needed as well as a practical directive approach when necessary.
My life and work experience as a manager, trainer, coach, mentor, counsellor and psychotherapist add to my practice being rooted in a developmental relational approach which encourages learning through partnership.
Central to my approach is the concept of "power with", developed by Mary Parker Follett (1868–1933), which views power as something that is shared, collaborative, and co-created rather than exercised over another which is hugely important in the supervisory relationship. This collaborative stance resonates with the Transactional Analysis concept of the "I'm OK, You're OK" life position (Ernst, 1971), which values mutual respect, autonomy, and equality within the supervisory relationship.
