Supervision details

I trained in Supervision at the Tom Allan Centre (COSCA Certificate). I also gained valuable experience as a counselling service manager for many years, where I supported counsellors through a wide range of professional and ethical challenges. My main perspective is psychodynamic, though I specialise in time limited and short term work. I am happy to supervise counsellors working from other perspectives. 

I am a group supervisor for trainees at HDS.
