In my private practice I work with both adults and Children/ teens from the bettercare clinic in central Watford I also freelance in schools and do homework when needed.

I will offer you a free 30 minute chat to establish what you’re looking for in a Suppervisor as it’s important that you have a feel of what to expect and  then if you wish we can discuss further how we can progress forward into establishing a working alliance .                                               There will be no pressure as finding the right supervisor for you is so important, I always leave my own supervision feeling lighter ,valued and supported and heard and with a greater sense of resilience and ability to support my clients and that is what I aspire to also provide.

I hold an OCN certificate in Supervision and offer integrative Supervision to groups and individuals, including trainees and experienced therapists. 

I aspire to provide a warm and caring and non-judgemental style to our supervisory relationship  focusing on providing a collaborative environment where supervisees feel supported to meet any aspects of their client work that maybe challenging . Together we will explore the therapeutic work and discover affective skills to enhance the client work, managing ethics issues  including any safeguarding Child protection dilemmas that might arise.
