Supervisor • he/him
Person-Centred Therapist & EMDR Therapist

Supervision details

As a BACP-accredited person-centred therapist with many years’ experience, I offer a reflective, collaborative, and supportive space for counsellors to explore their practice. My approach to supervision is grounded in the person-centred philosophy of trust in the individual’s capacity for growth — including the therapist in supervision.

Supervision with me is a space where your experience, perspective, and developing awareness take centre stage. I aim to facilitate your congruence and confidence as a practitioner, whether you're newly qualified, in training, or an experienced therapist. I’ll offer deep, attentive listening, warmth, and gentle challenge when needed — always with respect for your autonomy and way of working.

I have experience facilitating group supervision as a tutor on person-centred counselling training programmes, and I’m now expanding into one-to-one person-centred supervision in collaboration with a trusted group of fellow practitioners. While my approach may resonate most naturally with person-centred therapists, I’m very open to working with practitioners from different modalities who value a collaborative and non-judgemental space.

Key values I bring to supervision:

  • A belief in your capacity to find your own way
  • A safe and non-judgemental space to explore challenges, uncertainty, and ethical dilemmas
  • A commitment to confidentiality, mutual respect, and collaboration
  • An openness to your unique way of being as a therapist

Supervision is offered online via Google Meets.

Fees: £40 for 60 minutes | £60 for 90 minutes.

If you're interested or have any questions, feel free to get in touch for an informal conversation. I’d be glad to hear from you.

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.
