Supervision details
Clinical Supervision
I provide clinical supervision for both trainee and qualified counsellors and psychotherapists. My aim is to offer a reflective, collaborative space where you feel able to think openly about your client work, celebrate what's going well and explore the areas that feel more uncertain.
My work is guided by the BACP Ethical Framework. I offer both short- and long-term supervision for individuals and groups, either online or in person, with sessions taking place at a mutually agreed frequency.
I believe that good supervision is about far more than monitoring ethical practice. It is an opportunity to develop professionally, deepen your understanding of clients and yourself, and build confidence in your own therapeutic voice.
My supervision is integrative, relational and trauma-informed. Rather than expecting supervisees to work within one theoretical model, I encourage curiosity about each client as an individual and support you in thinking flexibly about what may be happening in the therapeutic relationship. I place particular emphasis on understanding emotional regulation, attachment, relational dynamics, shame and the wider context of clients' lives.
My style is warm, thoughtful and collaborative and appropriately challenging. I aim to create a supervision relationship where you feel able to bring uncertainty, mistakes, countertransference, ethical dilemmas and those moments when you feel stuck, without fear of judgement. I believe these conversations often lead to the richest learning.
I hold an MA in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling, am an accredited member of the BACP, a registered member of the UKCP, and have been teaching counselling in Higher Education for over 10 years on BACP- and CPCAB-accredited programmes. Alongside my private practice, I provide clinical supervision and enjoy supporting both trainee and qualified therapists as they develop confidence, integrate theory with practice and discover an authentic way of working that feels true to themselves.
Although I draw on a range of supervisory approaches, my practice is informed by developmental thinking, relational supervision and the Seven-Eyed Model. I adapt my approach to each supervisee's level of experience, recognising that trainees and experienced practitioners often need different kinds of support.
Supervision is available online and in person from my practice in Kingston upon Thames, South West London. I welcome enquiries from trainee and qualified practitioners and am happy to discuss whether we would be a good fit before arranging ongoing supervision.
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.
