Supervision details
I offer warm, reflective and collaborative clinical supervision for qualified counsellors and counselling trainees, both in person in Adlington, near Chorley, and online across the UK.
My approach to supervision is trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming. I aim to provide a supportive space where you can reflect openly on your client work, professional development and wellbeing, including the areas that feel uncertain, challenging or difficult to make sense of.
I have a particular interest in supporting counsellors who work with autistic, ADHD and otherwise neurodivergent clients, as well as neurodivergent practitioners who would value supervision that respects their own way of processing, communicating and working.
Supervision may include exploring areas such as masking, burnout, sensory needs, executive functioning, communication differences, late neurodivergent discovery, identity and how therapeutic approaches can be adapted to suit the individual client.
I do not see supervision as a place where the supervisor has all the answers. I value curiosity, reflection and collaboration, and I aim to offer a balance of support and thoughtful challenge while respecting your autonomy and individual way of practising.
Alongside neurodivergence, I have experience supporting work around anxiety, trauma, bereavement, low self-esteem, stress and online or telephone counselling.
You do not need to specialise in neurodivergence to work with me. What matters most is having a supervisory relationship that feels safe, respectful, thoughtful and constructive.
I originally trained in person-centred counselling and now work integratively, drawing on additional training in EMDR, CBT, NLP, Compassion Focused Therapy and EFT. My experience includes private practice, EAP work and specialist bereavement support, including bereavement by suicide.
I offer supervision for qualified and trainee counsellors working face to face, online or by telephone. I also offer a free initial 20-minute session so we can get a sense of whether working together feels like a good fit.
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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
