Supervision details
If you are a trainee, newly qualified counsellor, psychotherapist or coach looking for a space to develop your skills and be supported as a practitioner. Please contact me. I offer online and face to face supervision for individuals and groups.
I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist and clinical supervisor, BACP accredited, with over 20 years’ experience in counselling and psychotherapy, including more than five years in NHS psychotherapy services. I hold an MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy from Birkbeck, University of London, and an Advanced Certificate in Clinical Supervision.
I offer a warm, thoughtful and collaborative space where you can reflect openly on your clinical work, including moments of uncertainty, emotional difficulty and feeling stuck. My aim is to support your clinical thinking, confidence and development while keeping your clients’ wellbeing central to our work.
My supervision approach is psychodynamic and relational. Together, we explore what happens between you and your clients, attending to transference, countertransference and processes that may be outside conscious awareness. We also consider how your own responses, experiences and identity influence the therapeutic relationship.
I welcome discussion of race, culture, difference, belonging and power, alongside questions of boundaries, ethical practice and the setting in which you work. I value a supervisory relationship in which you feel able to bring difficult material without needing to have everything worked out beforehand.
My clinical experience includes working with complex trauma, attachment difficulties, anxiety, depression, shame and personality difficulties. I supervise trainee and qualified practitioners, including those establishing or developing their private practice. I welcome enquiries from psychodynamic and integrative counsellors and psychotherapists who are interested in exploring their work through a relational lens.
Supervision can also provide space to think about your professional role: managing the transition from training to qualification, sustaining yourself in demanding clinical work and developing a practice that reflects your values.
I offer individual supervision at £95 and welcome enquiries about paired supervision. Paired supervision at Harley Street is £90 per therapist for a 60-minute session, with two practitioners.
Please contact me to discuss your needs, availability and fees for individual supervision. An initial conversation gives us an opportunity to explore whether my approach would be a good fit for you.
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.
