Supervision details

I offer a warm, supportive space where you can speak openly and honestly about both the challenges and achievements in your client work. Together, we can reflect on your practice in a way that feels safe, respectful and professionally supportive.

My approach to supervision is collaborative, with ethical practice at its foundation. We will explore your client work together to deepen your understanding and support the development of your practice. This may include reflecting on transference and countertransference, connecting theory with practice, and navigating ethical dilemmas. I work with student, newly qualified and experienced counsellors, including those establishing a private practice.

I use the Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision to help us explore not only the interventions you use, but also the relationship between you and your client and the wider dynamics surrounding the work. This reflective approach supports you to develop greater autonomy, trust your professional judgement and strengthen your own internal supervisor.

I am an accredited member of the BACP and work both in private practice and for a counselling organisation commissioned by the ICB. I qualified as a person-centred counsellor in 2017 and completed Level 5 CBT training shortly afterwards. Further post-qualification training has shaped an eclectic approach to my work, with person-centred values remaining at its core.

My current practice includes work with adults and young people, and I also bring previous experience of working with children.

I offer online and in-person supervision for student and qualified counsellors, providing a warm, professional space in which to reflect, develop and feel supported in your practice.

If you feel we may be a good fit, please get in touch to explore how supervision with me could support you and your practice.

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.
