My style of supervision is very much a continuation of my therapeutic approach, which is largely systemic. I seek to create a collaborative space where supervisees can develop their practice. Supervisees are encouraged to explore, through the lenses of culture, family history and personal experience, how they are affected by their clients, giving a sense of how their biases can affect their work with clients. For example, in my therapeutic work I view an individual, not as an isolated figure but as an interconnected part of a social system. I place potential supervisees in the driving seat of their own development and adjust accordingly to their needs, whilst ensuring  their practice meets the highest ethical standards.
