Supervision details

As therapists, holding space for others requires a supportive space of our own; a place where we can step out of our clinical role and be met with genuine warmth, safety, and mutual connection.

I offer an engaging, collaborative, and restorative supervision practice for qualified practitioners. My approach is deeply grounded in a relational, integrative, and trauma-informed framework that actively looks at structural and anti-oppressive ways of working.

​Whatever your clients are bringing to you, I provide a calm, non-judgmental space to help you safely reflect on your caseload, protect your well-being, and deepen your clinical skills.

Voluntary Sector Experience
Drawing on my extensive experience of working and volunteering in VCSE organisations, I bring a deep understanding of institutional frameworks, systemic dynamics and complex organisational frameworks.

My Supervision Philosophy
I believe that supervision should be nurturing, reflective, and restorative.  My role is to walk alongside you, honouring your therapeutic intuition and supporting your ongoing personal and professional growth. My job is to support you to be an ethical, reflective and caring therapist. My style is explorative, reflective and gently challenging when necessary. I believe supervision should be a place to bring all of yourself, your strengths, concerns and ethical dilemmas. I offer a safe place to do this, whilst supporting you to be the best practitioner possible.

Professional Standards
My supervision framework is fully aligned with BACP professional standards and ethical requirements for ongoing clinical hours and accreditation.

Practice Format
Supervision is offered fully online UK-wide via Zoom.

Fees
Supervision sessions for qualified practitioners are charged at £75 per hour.
