Supervision details

Supervision provides a space to share a meta perspective of clinical work and to reflect on how to make therapy practice even safer and more effective. I work with supervisees one to one, and with groups. In group supervision, all participants can benefit from hearing the perspective and experience of another therapist, and by sharing and receiving insights and feedback.

In person supervisees work here with me and my woodland garden at Ffynnon Dawel in West Wales, in a cosy roundhouse, or sat by the stream, depending on the weather and time of year.   Supervision here in the woods provides a calm, spacious time for reflection and encouragement.

I also work with individuals and groups online when we are too far afield to meet in person. I usually provide group supervision in groups of three, for three hours, which helps with affordability, as all three hours can be counted. These tend to be monthly, depending on the needs of the group.

With the endorsement of PTSTA I am registered as a qualified supervisor with the UKCP, and ​can support trainees working towards counselling & psychotherapy qualifications, including the UKATA/UKCP Diploma & Certified Transactional Analyst (CTA).

I am qualified to supervise Psychotherapists, Counsellors, Social Workers and 3rd Sector professionals.

My fees are £70 per hour, either for individual sessions, or as a shared cost between group participants.
