Supervision details

BACP Accredited Integrative Clinical Supervisor |In-Person, Online & Phone

Finding a supervisor who provides the right balance of challenge, support, and psychological containment is essential for your growth as a practitioner.  As BACP Accredited Integrative Counsellor with over 15 years of clinical experience across the NHS, hospice care, and private practice, I bring a wealth of practical knowledge to my supervision work.

I offer a collaborative, safe, and warm space to help you reflect on your clinical casework, build confidence, maintain  ethical boundaries, and prevent burnout.   Whether you are an experienced therapist looking for a fresh perspective, or a student trainee navigating your first placement hours, my focus is always built on trust, compassion, and professional understanding.

My Practice Foundations & Specialisms:      

Drawing on my extensive clinical background,  I am uniquely positioned to support practitioners navigating complex client presentations in these challenging areas:

  • Children & Young People (C&YP): Integrating creative methodologies and navigating complex safeguarding landscapes.
  • Bereavement, Loss & Grief:  Managing profound end-of-life work, complex trauma, and life-limiting illnesses.     
  • NHS & IAPT/Talking Therapies:  Navigating short-term clinical frameworks and systemic pressures. 

Fees & Next Steps:

  •  Standard Fee:  £50 per hour/1.5 - hour sessions available.
  • Student Trainees:  Flexible, agreed discounted rates to support your training journey. 

Please feel free to reach out via email or call me on 07795818168 for a gentle, no-obligation initial chat to discuss how we can work together to support 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.
