About me and my therapy practice

I am a qualified experienced supervisor and counselling tutor (to students who are undertaking a BA in Integrative Counselling).  I hold a BPS Approved Certificate in Supervision and offer supervision to both qualified counsellors, psychotherapists, social and healthcare professionals and trainees.

I use a relational integrative and welcome working with therapists of all orientations. I offer a creative, confidential and supportive environment for you to explore your concerns and enhance your self awareness and professional development. I specialise in working with trauma (in particular rape and sexual abuse) and the impact this can have on therapists when working within this sector.  I recognise the important of self care. I aim to work with you to identify your needs and to establish a pattern and style of supervision appropriate to you. I am committed to regularly reviews with you to ensure your potentially changing needs are being met and ongoing growth is encouraged.

I am able  to offer regular supervision, consultation and professional support to those in training or who are looking for further support in their own therapeutic work.  I am able to offer supervision in person, online or over the phone.

When considering my experience, I currently work part time as a counselling tutor at a local university and am the clinical supervisor for a rape crisis service in York. Prior to this I worked within the NHS for a number of years as a clinical lead within an IAPT service.  This worked involved me supervising the supervisors work within the service as well as a number of counsellors, clinical psychology trainees on placements, and assistant psychologists.
