Supervision details

I have been supervising both trainees and established counsellors and psychotherapists for the last 5 years, supporting the development of practice around the use of mind-body approaches to working with people who have histories of trauma.

Like my therapy practice, I take a trauma informed approach with you, respecting the experiences that bring you to this work, recognising that we all come to this work from a place of wounding. Supervision with me is based on Shohet and Hawkins' seven-eyed model, supporting a keen focus on your client work, on supporting you in your work, and in turn thinking about how we work together, creating a continually reflective and reflexive process around your practice, both in the room, and taking into account all that goes on around us, and between us.
