Supervision details
At Windmill Counselling, I offer warm, supportive, and reflective clinical supervision for qualified counsellors and trainees,
As an integrative counsellor working since 2015, I have had the privilege of supporting clients from many different backgrounds and walks of life. This experience has strengthened my belief that every individual deserves to be met with empathy, respect, and understanding values that are at the heart of my supervisory practice.
Alongside my counselling experience, I hold a Level 6 Qualification in Counselling Supervision, providing a strong foundation for supporting practitioners in their clinical and professional development. My supervisory approach is informed by both the Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision and Holloway's Systems Approach, allowing us to explore client work in a thoughtful, holistic, and meaningful way.
I view supervision as a collaborative partnership, one that offers space for reflection, challenge, learning, and growth. Whether you are navigating complex client work, building confidence in your practice, or seeking a supportive space to think and reflect, I aim to provide an environment where you feel heard, valued, and professionally supported.
I welcome trainee counsellors, newly qualified practitioners, and experienced therapists from a range of theoretical orientations. My integrative approach enables me to work flexibly and collaboratively, tailoring supervision to your individual needs and professional goals.
At Windmill Counselling, my aim is to create a supervisory relationship that feels both supportive and professionally enriching, a space where you can bring your questions, challenges, successes, and reflections with confidence.
Thoughtful, collaborative supervision to support your practice, confidence, and professional growth.
Supervision can help you to:
• Explore and reflect on client work in depth
• Develop your confidence and clinical skills
• Navigate ethical and professional challenges
• Deepen your understanding of the therapeutic relationship
• Enhance self-awareness and resilience
• Support your ongoing professional and personal development

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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
