Supervision details
I love working with therapists who are curious about how their own systems interact with their clients. What do our feelings and reactions say about the work?
I'm passionate about supporting IFS therapists and helping them use the model more skilfully.
My first experience of supervision was as a Buddhist monk when my pastoral work was supervised by trained therapeutic supervisors. (I lived in a Buddhist community that also trained therapists.) In my training as a monk and minister I learnt how to supervise and train others in the same way in their pastoral and community work.
As well as the training I received from my Buddhist community, I have also completed training in integrating IFS with supervision and consultation. I have been supervising therapists since 2018.
I loved learning about parallel-process and how what's in the shadow of the therapist or minister can affect the work. I saw over and over again how supporting the therapist to un-blend from their own reactions transformed the client work.
As an IFS supervisor I can answer questions about the IFS model and support you to work more skilfully with the model.
I work with IFS therapists, and with integrative therapists, particular those interested in using parts work with the clients.
As well as my IFS experience my work as a supervisor is supported by all of my lived experience, but particularly my experience as a Buddhist minister, and my training in embodied therapy and wild therapy.
I offer a space that is both non-judgemental and discerning. I have my supervisees and their clients best interests at heart. I cultivate a warm relationship with supervisees, and we enjoy our work together.
Supervision is required by the professional bodies for counsellors and psychotherapists, and is valuable for anyone working with clients in a therapeutic settings.
Sessions are £80 for 50 minutes, or pro-rata for longer sessions, and can be in person or online.

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.
