Supervision details

I am a psychoanalyst working in private practise and offer supportive supervision to counsellors/psychotherapists and trainees from other modalities wishing to develop an understanding of psychoanalytic/psychodynamic approaches, as well as those already following a psychodynamic or psychoanalytic approach. My focus with new trainees is helping them to discover their own style and approach and their own self-reliance when faced with the demands of counselling work. For those already qualified, I am happy to offer either time limited sessions focusing on a particular set of clinical issues or a more open-ended arrangement. In addition to my private practise work I have run supervision groups for a variety of agencies including the Psychosis Therapy Project and local branches of MIND teach and act as clinical tutor on psychoanalytic psychotherapy trainings in London and Truro and as a visiting teacher on the Postgraduate Diploma in Psychodynamic Practice at Oxford University. I am a training committee member for The Site for Contemporary Psychoanalysis acting as personal tutor and teacher for both their psychoanalytic training. Current and recent teaching engagements include transsexuality and psychoanalysis; Borderline Personality Disorder;  working with sexual material in the consulting room; phantasy in Freud's writings; feminine sexuality and the maternal; psychotherapy and class; Narcissism and disorders of the Self; Andre Green; psychoanalytic theories of autism; Foucault and psychoanalysis; Antonin Artaud: Madness, language & representation; and the clinical practise of D W Winnicott.
