Supervision details
I offer clinical supervision to qualified and trainee counsellors, face-to-face, online or by telephone, and work with supervisees across the UK.
For me, supervision is a space where you can bring the whole of your work – not only your clients, but also your thoughts, uncertainties, challenges and the impact the work may be having on you. I aim to provide a supportive, nurturing and boundaried relationship where you can think openly, reflect honestly and feel safe enough to explore the things you are less certain about.
My approach is collaborative and grounded in curiosity rather than judgement. I believe good supervision should both support and, when needed, gently challenge you, helping you develop confidence in your own judgement while keeping the wellbeing and safety of you and your clients at the heart of our work.
I particularly enjoy supporting trainee counsellors as they develop their own identity and confidence as practitioners. Having previously worked as a counselling tutor, I understand the challenges of bringing together theory, placement experience, academic requirements and your developing sense of who you are as a counsellor.
My approach to supervision
I am an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor and supervisor. My therapeutic practice draws on Person-Centred, Gestalt, CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Inner Child and Transactional Analysis (TA) approaches. I also incorporate EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) within my practice.
My supervision is informed particularly by Hawkins & Shohet's Seven-Eyed Model and Stoltenberg & Delworth's Developmental Model. This allows us to consider your client work from different perspectives, including the therapeutic relationship, your own responses to the work, wider systems and your development as a practitioner.
My clinical work includes adults and young people, with particular experience in anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment and the impact of emotional neglect, abuse and narcissistic relationships.
My previous experience includes counselling in secondary school, further education and primary care settings, as well as working as an Assistant Clinical Lead within a counselling organisation delivering commissioned short-term counselling in GP surgeries.
Getting started
I offer a free 20–30 minute telephone or online consultation. This gives us an opportunity to talk about what you are looking for from supervision, how I work and whether we feel we would work well together.
I welcome enquiries from both qualified and trainee counsellors.
