Supervision details

Supervision is a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what anchors you in your work. It’s a chance to explore the challenges, meaning and purpose behind what you do. In our time together, we will look at the relationships you build—with your clients, your practice, and yourself—with curiosity and care.

At the heart of supervision is the opportunity to understand and nurture what makes you uniquely you. Your working style, resources, and values are the foundation of your practice, and together, we will explore how to strengthen and expand them. 

Supervision is also a time to slow down and reflect on the connections you create with your clients and how your processes shape those relationships. Through thoughtful dialogue, we will uncover insights that help you stay attuned to your clients while remaining grounded in who you are as a person and practitioner.

I welcome humour and laughter in the sessions. Just because it can sometimes feel difficult and heavy, it doesn’t mean we can’t invite what feels good and connecting into our practice and supervisory relationship. 

Supervision doesn’t have to be difficult—it can be gentle, encouraging, and deeply rooted in what feels good and true, where challenges can be embraced rather than shame-inducing. We need supervision in our work to be ethical practitioners, you need a space to fully bring all aspects of your practice, knowing support is available to you.

Whether you’re seeking clarity, perspective, or simply a safe space to explore, the type of supervision I offer is an invitation to deepen your practice and reconnect with what matters most in your work.

For more information, my website thoroughly explains how I work and my fees. Or you can email me and arrange a 30-minute introductory call free of charge.

Trainee counsellors

I don't have space for new trainee counsellors until June 2025. When I do, I offer concession fees for counsellors in training at £50 per 60 minutes. Please check my website for more information about how I work with trainees.

Key details

PVG Scheme info

In Scotland, criminal records checks are carried out by Disclosure Scotland. Professionals working with children or vulnerable adults must join the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme. You can learn more at mygov.scot , or contact this professional directly.

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

I work from an office space at Central Chambers, next to Glasgow Central Station. You would need to negotiate a few steps to access the building. There's then a lift to my floor.
