Supervision details
I’m a BACP-accredited integrative psychotherapist and clinical supervisor with a Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Supervision (Level 7) from the University of Derby. My training was informed by BACP and NCPS standards, including supervision for IAPT practitioners. My practice is rooted in the Seven-Eyed Model and grounded in over a decade of experience across addiction services, mental health, and private practice.
These days, I work mostly with therapists who, like me, have stepped away from agency life and are forging their own paths—whether in private practice, community work, or more integrative, relational, or trauma-informed spaces. Many of the practitioners I supervise are neurodivergent, creatively inclined, or have a quiet sense that the traditional model never quite fits.
I offer a space for you to show up as you are, no masks, no perfectionism, just honest reflection and a commitment to the work. Together we’ll explore your client work, yes, but also the emotional labour, the internal narratives, the questions that wake you up at 3 am. My supervision style is warm, collaborative, and permission-giving. We’ll focus on cultivating clinical confidence, deepening your therapeutic presence, and keeping your work sustainable, without losing the soul of why you started.
If you’re a practitioner craving depth, freedom, and a relationship that values both rigour and realness, we might be a good fit.
I offer a free 20-minute call to connect and explore.

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.
