Supervision details
I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor, Trauma Therapist and Clinical Supervisor with over 15 years' experience and more than 4,000 clinical hours. My specialist areas include trauma, attachment difficulties, abuse, anxiety and relationship issues. I also currently work with clients in high-pressure and frontline professions.
My experience spans community services, educational settings, mental health services, and 10 years of private practice. Alongside clinical work, I have worked as a CPCAB Lecturer and currently work as a Certificate of Proficiency (CoP) Validator, Moderator and Case Study Assessor. This experience gives me a strong understanding of the journey from trainee counsellor to qualified practitioner and the professional standards expected at each stage.
My supervision practice is informed by a Humanistic approach and the Cyclical Model of Supervision. I aim to provide a supportive, reflective and collaborative space where you can explore client work, develop your professional identity and maintain safe, ethical practice.
I particularly enjoy working with trainee counsellors and supporting them through their training journey. I understand both the rewards and challenges of training and aim to provide a balance of support, encouragement, challenge and accountability. My goal is to help you develop confidence in your abilities, deepen your clinical thinking and find your own authentic way of working.
I welcome enquiries from both trainee and qualified counsellors.
I offer face-to-face supervision in London and remote supervision across the UK. Supervision fees are £70 per hour or £100 for 90 minutes. Reduced rates are available for trainee counsellors.
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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
