Supervision details
I offer systemic supervision to psychotherapists, counsellors, coaches and other professionals who want a reflective space to think more deeply about their work.
A systemic approach pays particular attention to relationships, context and the wider systems in which our work takes place. Rather than focusing only on the client or the problem they bring, we can explore the patterns, expectations, relationships, organisational pressures and wider contexts that may be shaping what is happening.
An important part of systemic supervision is recognising that we are not outside the systems we work with. Our own responses, assumptions, identities and ways of relating inevitably become part of what happens. Supervision offers a space to become curious about our own participation and influence, and about what this might make possible or constrain.
I aim to provide a collaborative and thoughtful space where different perspectives can be explored without assuming there is always one correct understanding or intervention. The purpose is not simply to find the ‘right’ answer, but to expand the possibilities available to you in your practice.
I am a UKCP Registered Family and Systemic Psychotherapist and an APECS Certified Professional Supervisor, and have extensive experience of supervision, coaching and working within organisations.
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
