Supervision details
As a qualified and experienced counselling supervisor, I offer supportive, ethical and reflective supervision for both trainee and qualified therapists. My supervisory approach is integrative, relational and collaborative, creating space for curiosity, professional growth and clinical confidence.
I am particularly passionate about supporting therapists who are building their private practice or navigating the early stages of their professional journey. Supervision can provide a safe and encouraging space to reflect on client work, develop your therapeutic identity, and explore the practical and emotional challenges of the profession.
With specialist experience in trauma, emergency services work and compassion fatigue, I also support supervisees working with high-intensity, complex or emotionally demanding material.
For me, supervision is not only a space for ethical oversight and client safety; it is also a space for development, resilience and professional empowerment. Whether you are in training, newly qualified or an experienced therapist seeking a fresh perspective, I offer collaborative supervision tailored to your needs.
Sessions are available online or face to face, with flexibility to suit your schedule.
Supporting new therapists in private practice
Starting out in private practice can feel exciting, daunting and isolating all at once. New therapists often face uncertainty around setting boundaries, pricing their work, managing self-doubt, understanding legal and ethical practicalities, and building a sustainable caseload. Supervision can play a vital role here, not only in supporting clinical work, but also in mentoring and guiding therapists through the practical realities of establishing themselves.
My work with new practitioners can include exploring ethical considerations in private practice, discussing marketing and branding from a values-led perspective, and helping therapists develop clarity around their niche and professional identity. We can also address the emotional impact of moving from placement-based work into private practice, including imposter syndrome, decision fatigue and financial pressure.
I believe that well-supported therapists create safer, stronger and more sustainable practices. My aim is to empower new counsellors with the tools, mindset and reflective space they need to thrive, both professionally and personally.
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.
