Supervision details
I have supervised many counsellors who have gone on to build successful private practices, alongside supporting experienced therapists, school counsellors and professionals working within organisations.
Clinical Supervision
Finding the right supervisor is one of the most important decisions you will make in your professional journey. Whether you are newly qualified, building a private practice, or an experienced practitioner seeking ongoing support, I offer a safe, collaborative and professionally supportive supervision relationship.
With over 25 years' experience as a psychotherapist, EMDR therapist, family mediator and clinical supervisor, I work with counsellors and psychotherapists in private practice, therapists working within organisations, as well as teachers, support staff and professionals in helping roles.
How Supervision Can Support You
As a supervisee, you may be working with clients who are experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, complex family dynamics, abuse, addiction, serious mental illness or emotional distress. You may also be supporting individuals facing illness, end-of-life issues, or other complex and challenging life experiences.
Clinical supervision provides a confidential and reflective space where you can explore your client work, develop professionally, maintain ethical practice and enhance your confidence as a practitioner.
My supervision offers:
- A safe, confidential and non-judgemental space
- Professional consultation and clinical guidance
- Support with complex client work
- Personal and professional development
- Ethical reflection and decision-making
- Confidential mentoring
- Encouragement to build confidence and resilience in your practice
- Support for Private Practice
Alongside clinical supervision, I have extensive experience helping counsellors establish and grow successful private practices.
If you're setting up independently, I can guide you through the practical aspects of private practice, including:
- Policies and procedures
- Client contracts and paperwork
- Safeguarding responsibilities
- Professional boundaries
- Insurance and ethical considerations
- Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs)
- Marketing your practice and building referrals
- Developing confidence as an independent practitioner
Many of the therapists I supervise have gone on to build thriving and successful private
practices, and I enjoy supporting supervisees at every stage of their professional development.
My Approach
I believe effective supervision is built on trust, openness and collaboration. Within a supportive and sensitive environment, you'll have the opportunity to reflect on your work, deepen your self-awareness, celebrate your strengths and develop your clinical skills.
My aim is to provide a supervision relationship that both supports and gently challenges you, helping you grow in confidence while ensuring the highest standards of care for your clients.
What Next?
Choosing a supervisor is an important decision, and it's essential that you feel comfortable and supported in the relationship.
If, after reading my profile and website, you feel I may be the right supervisor for you, I invite you to arrange a free initial consultation. This gives us the opportunity to meet, discuss your supervision needs and explore whether we are a good fit for working together.
I look forward to hearing from you.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
