Supervision details
My supervisors have changed my practice and my life. The good ones showed me how much thinking space matters — where the cases that keep you awake at night finally get looked at properly, where you remember why you chose this work in the first place. That experience is what I try to bring.
My supervision is rooted in a simple belief: most of our clients' struggles trace back to the relationship they have with themselves. Not the polished, predictable version they're trying to maintain — the anxious, binary, future-predicting version that scans constantly for threat and calls it safety. Real therapeutic progress moves people away from that rigid self-management toward something looser, more honest, more alive. Less a perfectly painted landscape. More a piece of modern art — uncertain in places, but genuinely theirs.
What I'm really interested in is you — your countertransference, your clinical voice, whether the way you're working is actually sustainable. I bring psychodynamic depth, relational honesty, and the practical experience of running a successful private practice myself. Alongside the clinical work, I understand the less visible labour of being a therapist — caseload decisions, referral pathways, finances, the isolation of working alone. All of it is fair game.
Expect warmth, genuine challenge, and room for humour — because if we can't laugh at the absurdity of this work occasionally, we're probably not processing it properly.
I work with trainees, newly qualified, and experienced practitioners online and in person across Bristol and Stroud.
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.
