Supervision details
My approach to clinical supervision is grounded in over 15 years of experience across NHS services, third-sector organisations, and private practice. I offer supervision to psychologists, counsellors and psychotherapists who are working with complex clinical presentations and who value reflective, relational and experiential grounded practice.
Throughout my career, I have supervised clinicians working with a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, trauma, medically unexplained symptoms, somatic distress, attachment-related difficulties and long-standing relational patterns. I have a particular interest in supporting practitioners who work with clients whose distress is expressed physically or who present as high-functioning while struggling with emotional pressure, burnout or chronic internal tension.
Alongside my clinical work, I have supervised within NHS teams and contributed to the training and development of therapists across different levels of experience. I have also delivered workshops and reflective practice groups within multidisciplinary settings, supporting clinicians to think more deeply about formulation, therapeutic process and the emotional impact of the work.
Supervisory Style
My supervisory style is collaborative, active and thoughtful. I aim to provide a space in which supervisees can reflect openly on their clinical work, including moments of uncertainty, emotional challenge and therapeutic impasse. Supervision is not solely about technique; it is also about understanding the relational dynamics between therapist and client, the emotional communication taking place in the room and the wider systemic context of the work.
I draw on a range of therapeutic models, including psychodynamic and relational approaches, Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and somatic perspectives. This integrative approach allows supervision to be tailored to the clinician’s orientation, level of experience, and clinical setting.
Where appropriate, I support supervisees in:
• Developing clear and coherent formulations.
• Understanding the emotional and somatic processes underpinning clients’ presentations.
• Working with complexity, and uncertainty.
• Reflecting on countertransference and therapeutic use of self.
• Maintaining ethical, professional and organisational boundaries.
• Managing burnout, imposter feelings and the emotional demands of clinical work.
Areas of Supervision Focus
I’m particularly well suited to supervising clinicians who work with:
• Medically unexplained or stress-related physical symptoms.
• Anxiety and trauma that present somatically.
• Attachment-related and relational difficulties.
• High-achieving or high-responsibility clients.
• Complex, long-term or treatment-resistant presentations.
• Therapists experiencing clinical doubt, stuckness or emotional fatigue.
Training, Qualifications, and Registration
I hold a Certificate in Clinical Supervision accredited by the British Psychological Society and have extensive experience supervising clinicians in NHS and private practice settings.
I’m a Chartered Counselling Psychologist, Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society, and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). My supervisory practice is informed by current ethical guidelines and best practice standards.
Practical Information
I offer individual supervision to qualified clinicians and trainees, subject to professional requirements and training agreements. Supervision is available only online and my fee is £100 per 50-minute session.
If you are looking for a reflective, supportive and clinically rigorous supervisory space, particularly when working with complex emotional and somatic presentations, I would be happy to discuss whether my approach would be a good fit.
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
The BABCP is the lead organisation for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in the UK. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in the practice, theory or development of CBT. BABCP also provides accreditation for CBT therapists. BABCP accredited members adhere to the Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics in the Practice of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies, and are willing to be scrutinised in this adherence as required.
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.
