Supervision details
I offer a reflective, collaborative supervision space where you can think openly about your client work and develop confidence in your practice.
My approach is grounded in humanistic principles, with a non-expert stance that supports you to develop your own understanding, rather than feeling you need to “get it right.”
Supervision with me is intended to feel:
- supportive but not passive
- thoughtful and grounded
- gently challenging where needed
We will work together to:
- explore your client work honestly
- develop clarity around clinical decisions
- support both your professional and personal growth
I am a qualified and accredited supervisor, having completed a Diploma in Clinical Supervision with Northside Training - a comprehensive training involving extensive practice, teaching and assessment.
Alongside supervision, I run a busy private practice and have been fully booked for many years. This means my supervision is grounded in the realities of ongoing therapeutic work.
I work with:
- trainees
- newly qualified therapists
- experienced practitioners
- therapists working with long-term or complex client work
A willingness to reflect openly and engage with the process is important.
I am mindful that many therapists carry experiences of educational or evaluative environments that can feel exposing or difficult.
I aim to create a supervision space that feels de-shaming, collaborative, and balanced, while still offering the challenge needed for development.
This includes paying attention to:
- relational dynamics
- parallel process
- your identity, modality, and stage of development
Supervision can be:
thought-provoking, challenging, encouraging, messy, and at times enjoyable and energising.
My role is to support you to navigate that process with greater clarity and confidence.
I offer supervision:
- face-to-face
- online
- by telephone
- outdoors (walk-and-talk)
Prior to training as a therapist, I worked for many years in website design.
If helpful, I can also offer guidance around:
- websites
- online presence
- basic SEO
This is always secondary to client work, but available as an additional resource.
I am an Accredited Professional Registrant (PNCPS Acc.) with the NCPS.
Initial Contact
I offer a free 30-minute initial conversation to see whether we would be a good fit to work together.
If we decide to proceed, we will agree a supervision contract in our first session.
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.

Accredited register membership
