Supervision details

I am passionate about offering supervision that feels thoughtful, alive, and genuinely supportive of growth. For me, supervision is not just about oversight or problem-solving, but about creating a relationship in which practitioners can think, feel, and develop with honesty and depth.

My work is grounded in a relational–developmental integrative framework, and I pay close attention to what is happening between us as well as to the clinical material being brought. I am interested in how supervisees are finding their professional voice, negotiating authority and uncertainty, and making sense of who they are becoming as therapists. I aim to model this way of working within the supervisory relationship itself—through openness, reflection, and mutual engagement.

Ethical practice is central to how I work. I strive to hold ethics in a way that is robust without being rigid, and that supports supervisees to think carefully and relationally about boundaries, responsibility, and risk. I see supervision as a place where ethical dilemmas can be explored with curiosity rather than fear, and where complexity is welcomed rather than prematurely resolved.

I also value creative and innovative ways of working in supervision.  I may invite the use of metaphor, imagery, embodied awareness, or reflective exercises to support deeper understanding and integration. This is always done collaboratively, with sensitivity to each supervisee’s learning style, context, and stage of development.

I particularly enjoy working with trainees and early-career therapists, and with practitioners navigating transitions—such as moving into private practice or stepping into greater professional authority. I aim to offer supervision that feels containing and challenging in equal measure, and that supports ethical integrity, relational depth, and sustainable, meaningful practice.
