Supervision details
I offer person-centred integrative supervision to qualified counsellors, psychotherapists, trainees and professionals working in helping roles. My aim is to provide a reflective, collaborative space where practitioners can explore their client work, professional development and personal responses to practice in a way that feels both supportive and appropriately challenging.
I believe supervision works best when it is grounded in a strong supervisory relationship. I strive to create an environment where supervisees feel safe to think openly, reflect honestly and bring both their successes and uncertainties without fear of judgement. Alongside supporting safe and ethical practice, I see supervision as a place for growth, creativity and renewal.
My approach is informed by person-centred values, attachment theory, trauma-informed practice and relational understandings of therapeutic work. I encourage exploration of the therapeutic relationship, parallel process, practitioner wellbeing, ethical dilemmas, professional identity and the wider social, cultural and organisational contexts that influence our work.
Since 2019, I have worked in private practice, including receiving referrals through organisations such as the Fire Service and Victim Support. I also spent three years counselling within a men's hostel, supporting men experiencing addiction, complex trauma, homelessness and significant mental health difficulties. This breadth of experience enables me to support practitioners working with a wide range of presentations and levels of complexity.
I have a particular interest in trauma, attachment, relational depth, reflective practice and the wellbeing of practitioners. I recognise that counselling can be deeply rewarding whilst also emotionally demanding, and I believe supervision should be a space where practitioners feel held, encouraged and professionally nourished.
Whether you are a trainee seeking guidance and confidence, a newly qualified counsellor consolidating your practice, or an experienced practitioner looking for an ongoing reflective relationship, I aim to offer supervision that is warm, thoughtful, ethically grounded and responsive to your individual needs.
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.
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.
