Supervision details

Supervision and Therapeutic Practice
Background and Experience
Since graduating in 2011, I have developed my counselling practice across two clinics: Prestonpans, East Lothian, and Portobello, Edinburgh. I work with adults, children, and young people, and over time my practice has expanded to include couple counselling, systemic practice, and family counselling.

I offer therapy and supervision online and in person, with clinic appointments available in both Prestonpans and Portobello to provide flexible options for different needs and circumstances.

Supervision Approach
As a Person-Centred/Psychodynamic Supervisor, I offer supervision to both qualified counsellors and student counsellors. My aim is to create a supportive, reflective, and appropriately challenging relationship that gives you space to review your work, deepen your practice, and build confidence as a practitioner.

Supervision is an important professional relationship: a place where vulnerability and curiosity can sit together, and where your growth is held with care, honesty, and respect.

Flexible and Responsive Support
I take a flexible approach to supervision, recognising that practitioners have different lifestyles, commitments, and ways of working. The supervisory relationship should fit you, not the other way around.

Small Group Supervision
For practitioners who value shared learning, I also offer small group supervision. Group work can be energising and enriching, offering opportunities to:

·        learn from others’ experience and perspectives;

·        explore how different therapeutic approaches shape practice;

·        develop confidence through reflection, discussion, and shared insight.

60 minutes £65.00,             90 minutes £80.00

 Trainee counsellors          -  £45 per 60 minutes    £65.00 per 90 minutes

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.
