About My Practice
Hello and welcome. As an Accredited BACP counsellor with over 15 years of clinical experience, I bring a wealth of practical, frontline knowledge to my supervision practice. I provide a clear, collaborative online space for both qualified practitioners and student therapists to reflect on their clinical work.
My approach is integrative. This means we can adapt our supervisory sessions to suit your specific therapeutic modality, client caseload, and ongoing professional goals. Working entirely online offers optimal flexibility, allowing you to easily fit supervision around your clinic hours.
 
Working with Me
Drawing on my 15+ years in practice, I focus on building an objective, effective working alliance to help you develop your clinical skills safely. Together, we focus on:
Navigating complex client presentations and ethical dilemmas.
Integrating theory into practice smoothly and dynamically.
Preparing thoroughly for assignments, case studies, or readiness to practice (for trainees).
Guiding your professional development toward BACP requirements and accreditation pathways.
 
Fees & Student Discounts
Standard Session Fee: £55
Student/Trainee Rates: Agreed discounted rates are available to help support you through your placement and qualification period.
 
Let’s Connect
Finding the right supervisory relationship is essential for your clinical growth. Please get in touch for an initial, no-obligation chat to discuss your caseload or training needs, and to agree on a rate that works for you.

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.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
