Supervision details

Experience you can trust

I have many years’ experience of supervising Psychologists and other Health Professionals in relation to psychological and neurodevelopmental assessments and psychological therapies. As with therapy, I believe that the working relationship between supervisor and supervisee is key, which is why I prioritise the development of safe, strong, trusting and open supervisory relationships.

A space for your personal and professional development

I offer clinical supervision to qualified Psychologists and other Health Professionals in relation to psychological therapies (primarily attachment, systemic and trauma-informed approaches). Clinical supervision with me will focus on time for reflection as well as space to formulate together and think about how best to help your clients. I have particular expertise in psychological and trauma-focused therapies with neurodiverent people and can help you to develop your understanding and approach in working with this client group. 

Supporting you to help your neurodivergent clients

I also offer clinical supervision relating to neurodevelopmental assessments (in people aged 16+). I have extensive experience in autism and ADHD assessments, including in people with very complex needs, such as additional mental health difficulties and trauma. I can help you to unpick complexity, formulate a coherent explanation of your client's needs and develop skills in working with complexity in neurodevelopmental assessments.

HCPC
Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC)

The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.

They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.

Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.

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.
