I see my aim as a supervisor as twofold; to support you to bring yourself as fully as possible to the therapeutic relationship so that you can use your skills and experience in service of your client’s wellbeing,  and to facilitate your growth as a professional and as a person. I believe that the key to this is creating an environment where you can share experiences, reflect on your choices, and develop your understanding of yourself, your practice, theory and research, and how these interconnect for you and inform your own professional philosophy.  This approach means that I feel comfortable to supervise practitioners working with any theoretical approach, although I practice from a person-centered perspective. My supervision training included a focus on psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral concepts as well as systemic approach. I have experience as a tutor at levels 2&3 counselling skills as well as on a postgraduate programme for person-centered and experiential psychotherapy.

As with therapy, I see supervision as relationship in action, something co-created and collaborative. I am passionate about the values and ethics which underpin therapeutic work and how these shape the supervisory relationship, the therapeutic relationship, placement settings and service delivery. I have provided supervision to forensic psychology students, drama therapists, as well as counsellors/psychotherapists. I have experience as clinical lead and manager of both third sector and NHS counselling services.  

My fees are £55 per hour, I am happy to discuss this further as there is sometimes potential to negotiate or I may know of other supervisees seeking groups which can reduce cost. I have a rooms in near Nottingham and in Barrow-upon-Soar. Please contact me for further information.
