Supervision details
I am a qualified and experienced clinical supervisor. I am interested in helping clinicians to develop and consolidate a safe, ethical and creative psychoanalytically-informed way of working.
Working in a way that encourages open dialogue and blends support and challenge, I draw on a broad range of psychoanalytic frameworks (e.g. Freud, Jung, Klein, Fairbairn, Winnicott, Bion, Guntrip, Lacan, Kernberg, Bollas, Davanloo; trauma theory, mentalization theory) to help supervisees stay afloat in and make sense of the clinical encounter. This in turn informs the therapist's stance and interventions, with the aim of helping supervisees to work optimally with their patients. I am particularly interested in Object Relations-based approaches, with an emphasis on the transference and countertransference, both in the therapy session and in supervision itself, via reflection or parallel processes. I am experienced in supervising both long-term, open-ended psychodynamic work and brief psychodynamic approaches (drawing on e.g. CCRT, CMP, DIT, ISTDP).
I would welcome enquiries from qualified psychodynamic practitioners, or other qualified therapists wishing to integrate a psychodynamic approach into their work. Please feel free to get in touch if you would like to know more.
Sessions are available face-to-face in Southampton or Salisbury, or online via VSee.
