Supervision details

For me it is important that you feel valued and safe in supervision. This means feeling safe to bring what you might consider mistakes or to explore ruptures within the therapeutic relationship, all of which can be a great therapeutic opportunity. Together we will explore what feels difficult and possible ways forward and celebrate what has gone well.

Our therapeutic skills continuously develop, are enhanced by learning from our clients and from each other. Supervision is a great place to reflect, to advance learning and to prevent burnout. I will be guided by professional ethical guidelines to ensure safe practice. 

I have been a supervisor in the NHS, in private practice and at university (supervising students’ case studies). Supervision can be from an integrative perspective or from the perspective of a particular model (i.e. CFT, psychodynamic, person-centred, relational CBT).

The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.

They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.

Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.

Key details

DBS check info

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
