Supervision details
I aim to hold, support and empower you as a practitioner. I view supervision as a platform for learning, support, and development. I aim to provide a place for psychological security, creating a shame-reducing environment where you can bring mistakes or questions, as these are often the things we need to discuss the most, yet hold back for fear of embarrassment or dismissal.
Creating a safe, supportive space with psychological security
I aim to build a supervisory relationship where you feel secure, valued, seen, and heard. When this kind of psychological safety is present, shame tends to reduce, making space for openness, reflection, and new ways of thinking.
A space tailored to you
Supervision is a personalised learning environment. It offers time to reflect on your work with someone who brings more and/or different experiences, and who can support, guide, and also learn alongside you.
Making space for difficult feelings
Supervision isn’t about reassurance or “fixing” things quickly. Instead, it’s about allowing challenging emotions and emotional disturbance to be experienced safely, so they can be understood, processed, and learned from.
Grounded in strong ethical values
Our work will be guided by ethical principles, including the Universal Ethical Principles of Beneficence, Autonomy, Non-Maleficence, Fidelity, Universality and Justice, helping ensure that what we do is thoughtful, safe, and in service of both you and your clients.
I work face-to-face from my welcoming therapy room in Menston or online on Zoom.
My approach is co-creative, focusing on a relationship where we can explore your own process, self-development and growth.
I work through a Transactional Analysis lens, but my first training and my supervision training were both integrative, and I can work using your modality as the frame.
I hold a Diploma in Clinical Supervision. I am both UKCP and BACP Accredited. I hold an MA in Psychotherapy and a postgraduate diploma in Transactional Analysis. I am an EMDR practitioner with extensive experience in trauma-focused psychotherapy.
I offer a free, no obligation 20-minute chat online or by phone to ask any questions you may have and to see how we might feel about working together.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
