Supervision details
Individual and Group Supervision
“Supervision is not done by the supervisor, but jointly between the supervisor and supervisee.”
Hawkins, 2007
I offer a collaborative and consultative approach to supervision, providing a reflective space where counsellors, psychotherapists, and allied professionals can bring their clinical work with openness and confidence. My aim is to create a compassionate, supportive environment that values curiosity, kindness, and thoughtful exploration.
Supervision with me is a place where you can slow down, reflect, and think deeply about your work without fear of judgement. Whether you are newly qualified or highly experienced, I invite you to bring your client work, questions, uncertainties, and successes into a space that supports both your professional development and personal wellbeing.
As an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, I work within the Hawkins and Shohet Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision. I supervise both contractually and relationally, holding clear boundaries while remaining attentive to the lived experience of the supervisee. I work creatively and flexibly, drawing on objects, materials, worksheets, whiteboard work, and metaphor to support reflection, insight, and learning where helpful.
I hold in mind the three core functions of supervision as outlined by Proctor:
Formative (educational): supporting learning, skill development, and clinical understanding
Normative (ethical): attending to ethical practice, professional standards, and legal considerations
Restorative: offering space to explore the emotional impact of the work, personal responses, workload, stress, and self-care
The restorative function is particularly important to me, as I believe that effective, ethical practice is deeply connected to the therapist’s capacity to feel supported, resourced, and understood.
I value my one-to-one supervision work highly, offering a contained and tailored space for individual reflection. Group supervision also offers its own rich benefits, including shared learning, peer feedback, and a multi-layered approach to personal and professional development. I offer supervision to both individuals and groups, with contracts available on a weekly, fortnightly, or monthly basis, depending on your caseload and requirements.
I have gained extensive supervisory experience through my role as Deputy Clinical Lead at Richmond Mind, where I provided both individual and group supervision. I am currently the Clinical Lead at Richmond AID Counselling Service, where I continue to support therapists in delivering thoughtful, ethical, and sustainable clinical work.
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.
