Supervision details
Supervision with me offers a reflective, collaborative space to think carefully about your clinical work, professional development, and the challenges that come with working at depth. It is not only about case management, but about understanding the emotional, relational, and theoretical dimensions of your work in a way that supports confidence, clarity, and growth.
I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist, registered with the British Psychological Society and the Health and Care Professions Council, with over 23 years’ clinical experience. I spent 14 years working in NHS specialist psychology and psychotherapy services, including senior roles within South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust.
During this time, I supervised and managed both trainee and qualified counselling and clinical psychologists across community mental health teams and specialist therapy services. I also led Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) and Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT) services within an integrated psychological therapies team and provided consultation to multidisciplinary colleagues.
I am an accredited Clinical Supervisor with both the British Psychological Society and the Association for Cognitive Analytic Therapy, and I continue to supervise psychologists working in NHS and independent practice, as well as early-career practitioners establishing themselves professionally.
My approach to supervision:
My approach to supervision is relational, formulation-led, and tailored to your level of experience and professional context.
Supervision with me is:
- Collaborative – a space to think together rather than simply report on work
- Formulation-led – drawing particularly on CAT and MBT to understand patterns and processes in clinical work
- Supportive and appropriately challenging – balancing containment with constructive challenge
- Developmental – adapted to your stage of training or qualification
Ethically grounded – informed by professional standards, governance, and long experience within NHS systems
What supervisees often value:
Supervisees often describe my supervisory style as thoughtful, containing, and grounded, with an emphasis on making complex theory accessible and usable in day-to-day clinical work. Many value the balance of emotional attunement and clear clinical thinking, particularly when working with complex or relationally demanding presentations.
“Carl is an empathic, diligent and pragmatic psychologist who brings a wealth of experience to supervision. He helped me develop my use of CAT and MBT, making complex ideas clear and applicable in practice.”

Supervision fees:
My standard fee for ongoing clinical supervision is £100 for a 60-minute session, held at a regular agreed time.
Supervision is offered on a consistent, ongoing basis and tailored to your professional role, level of experience, and supervision requirements.
If you’d like to explore supervision, I’m happy to have an initial conversation to discuss your needs and whether my approach would be a good fit.
British Psychological Society
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
The Association for Cognitive Analytic Therapy (ACAT) is a registered charity. They welcome members of the public, health professionals, ACAT accredited professionals, and anyone interested in finding out more about CAT. They list CAT practitioners.
