Supervision details

My psychoanalytic supervision is informed by a broad range of clinical and professional experience across specialist psychodynamic psychotherapy services within the NHS, universities, third-sector organisations, and private practice. Alongside my clinical work, I have an advanced academic background in theoretical psychoanalysis and a strong commitment to higher education and professional development. I have held leadership roles within psychoanalytic training organisations and have been involved in teaching, supervising trainees from different clinical training institutions, contributing to the development of psychotherapy training programmes, and delivering CPD courses within the NHS.
