Supervision details

I am undertaking an Advanced Certificate in Clinical Supervision to become a Clinical Supervisor. I have completed the theory part of the course, and I am now ready to take on qualified counsellors for supervision, that is additional to your current supervision. I charge £25 per hour while I am in training. Once I am qualified in October 2025, this fee will increase.

I offer a reflective, dynamic, and supportive space where you can explore your practice, grow professionally, and develop your confidence as a therapist. Supervision with me is not just about reviewing cases; it’s about creating a meaningful partnership that helps you navigate challenges, celebrate successes, and deepen your skills.

I work with the Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision, which provides a rich and layered framework to examine your work from multiple perspectives, including your interventions, the client’s experience, and the broader systems in play. Whether you’re just starting your career or are a seasoned practitioner, my approach is designed to adapt to your needs, providing the balance of structure and freedom that fosters meaningful reflection and growth.

My therapeutic background is rooted in Person-Centered, but I have a broad range of theoretical knowledge, and I integrate relational, CBT, and attachment-based approaches to provide a supervision experience that reflects the diversity and complexity of our work as therapists.

Why Choose Supervision With Me?
I understand the nuances and demands of therapeutic work, including the emotional and professional challenges that arise. My goal is to provide a safe and collaborative space where you can freely discuss your successes, dilemmas, and areas of uncertainty without fear of judgment. I value curiosity and reflection, encouraging supervisees to bring their whole selves to the process and explore the deeper layers of their work with clients.

I am also passionate about maintaining ethical and culturally sensitive practice, and I’ll support you in navigating the complexities of today’s therapeutic landscape while staying grounded in your values and best practices.

What I Offer

1:1 Supervision: Flexible sessions tailored to your unique needs, available online via Zoom
Session Rates: while in training (until October 2025): £25 for a 60-mniute session.
        Once qualified: £70 for a 60-minute session; £100 for an 90-minute session.

Let’s Get Started!
Supervision is a vital part of our work as therapists—a space to learn, grow, and reconnect with the core of why we do what we do. If you’re looking for a supervisor who understands the complexities of therapeutic practice and is committed to helping you thrive, I’d love to support you. I offer a free 15-minute consultation via telephone, giving us a chance to discuss your needs and see if we’re a good fit. Feel free to get in touch to explore how we can work together.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
