Supervision details

I am a UKCP-approved Clinical Supervisor, providing clinical supervision for over two decades,  to counsellors, psychotherapists and therapists in training, both in organisational settings and in private practice.

My work is grounded in an integrative and person-centred approach, and I welcome supervisees from a range of therapeutic backgrounds including integrative, humanistic and hypno-psychotherapy. I aim to create a supportive, collaborative and reflective supervisory space, where supervisees feel able to explore their client work openly, think creatively, and develop both professionally and personally.

My supervision practice is informed by the integrative model of supervision and the person-centred supervisory approach developed by Robin Shohet and Peter Hawkins. Within this framework, I work creatively and relationally, encouraging curiosity and reflection while supporting ethical practice, professional development and the wellbeing of the practitioner.

I understand that supervision is not only about clinical work, but also about having a safe and trusted space to reflect, gain perspective and feel supported in what can sometimes be challenging work. My intention is to offer a warm, respectful and encouraging supervisory relationship where supervisees feel both supported and constructively challenged as they continue to grow in their practice.

I offer supervision to both qualified practitioners and therapists in training, and I welcome enquiries from individuals looking for a thoughtful and collaborative supervisory relationship.
