Supervision details

Experienced Humanistic Psychotherapy Supervisor Specialising in Autism and Client-Centred Growth

As an openly autistic humanistic therapist, I specialize in supporting the autistic community. Over the years, I've become a sought-after supervisor for psychotherapists seeking guidance in this specialized area. My experience includes teaching university courses on therapeutic techniques for autistic clients and delivering talks to professionals focused on working effectively with autistic individuals.

I've authored papers and books, and conducted training sessions for NHS medical professionals, in-service teachers, and parents, spreading awareness and understanding about autism. My lecture series, such as "Managing Anxiety in Autism" and "The Intersection between Trauma and Autism," have reached diverse audiences, sparking meaningful conversations around inclusive therapeutic approaches.

As a supervisor, my primary goal is to facilitate growth and development in therapists, steering away from judgment and emphasizing self-reflection. Guided by humanistic therapy principles, I believe that the journey of learning and growth never ends for therapists. Rather than striving for perfection, I empower supervisees to be self-reflective, encouraging them to embrace the growth process and think independently while considering supervision as a valuable second opinion.

Embodying the values of humanistic therapy, I hold the belief in the inherent worth and dignity of every individual, and I prioritize building strong therapeutic relationships. My supervision style is characterized by being encouraging and collaborative, empathic yet focused and cognitive. I take a hands-on approach by sharing theoretical knowledge and engaging in constructive "trouble-shooting" sessions with supervisees.

In my supervision, I aim to instill confidence in therapists, helping them navigate the complexities of working with autistic clients. I offer both in-person sessions in London and Cambridge, as well as online supervision to accommodate diverse needs. If you're seeking a supervisor who understands the nuances of autism and values a collaborative, growth-oriented approach, I invite you to reach out.
