Supervision details

Supervision offers a space to slow down and think carefully about the work. Together we can explore what is happening in the therapeutic relationship, consider recurring patterns, and reflect on the wider context in which therapist and client are meeting.

My approach to supervision is relational and psychodynamic. I am interested not only in what clients bring, but also in how we experience the work as therapists. I believe supervision is most valuable when it provides both support and challenge, creating space for uncertainty, curiosity, and new perspectives. My aim is not simply to provide answers, but to help supervisees develop their own clinical thinking and professional confidence.

I currently supervise trainee and qualified therapists working within charitable organisations and private practice. Alongside supervision, I work in private practice with individuals and couples, offering longer-term relational therapy and psychosexual therapy. My experience includes work with individuals and couples navigating questions of relationship, identity, sexuality, faith, meaning, and belonging.

Although my core orientation is relational and psychodynamic, I work with therapists from a range of theoretical backgrounds. I seek to adapt supervision to the needs, experience, and way of working of each supervisee.

Supervision can provide space to explore clinical dilemmas, ethical questions, safeguarding concerns, professional development, private practice issues, and the personal impact of therapeutic work. I welcome both trainee and qualified therapists.

I have a particular interest in work relating to faith, spirituality, religious experience, and religious harm.

I hold a degree in Theology and Counselling, a Diploma in Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy, am a BACP Accredited Therapist, and have completed training in psychodynamic supervision with the Society of Analytical Psychology.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Wheelchair user access
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.

My counselling room is in Cardiff City Centre and on the ground floor. Disabled parking is available by arrangement. There is a small set of steps leading down to the room, however they can be avoided by using an alternate entrance.
