Supervision details
I offer supervision or professional consultation to counsellors and psychotherapists. My aim is to create a safe, supportive, non-judgemental and reflective space where we are free to explore and reflect on your work. I resonate with Tony Merry’s (2002) view of supervision as a process of ‘collaborative enquiry,’ where we work together to understand what is unfolding within both the therapy relationship and the therapist. This approach shifts the focus away from doing things “right or wrong” and more towards exploring “how the counsellor is being, and how that way of being is contributing to the growth of the counselling relationship.” It’s a space to get curious.
I value and actively engage with intersectionality in my work as a psychotherapist, and in turn as a supervisor. Understanding how various aspects of identity - such as gender, sexuality, class, disability, race, and culture - shape our experiences and interactions is of great importance to me. I aim to create a space that honours all parts of who we are, fostering a more inclusive, supportive, and deeply enriching relationship built on trust, respect, and mutuality.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
