I have a Level 7 Postgraduate Certificate in Supervision and have experience in offering supervision to practitioners from a variety of modalities. I supervise qualified therapists and trainees, in person and online, individually or in groups, on a fortnightly/4-weekly/monthly basis. My fees for supervision are £60 per hour for individuals, or pro rata in a group setting.

I have trained in Integrative, Internal Family Systems, and Transactional Analysis approaches and have specialised in my private practice to work with clients who have experienced trauma, dissociation, have personality disorder diagnoses, self harm, or experience suicidal ideation. Recently awarded Trauma Therapy Service of the Year 2022 - Hampshire, by Global Health & Pharma. 

I have had experience in reviewing organisational and practitioner responses to suicidal risk presented in therapy, and am passionate about resourcing practitioners to work with their clients in this area.
