Supervision details
I am a qualified supervisor with a passion for both counselling and supervision. Supervision is a collaborative process and my aim is to build a relationship where you feel safe enough to bring the difficult, messy, or uncertain parts of your work in the confidence that they will be met with gentle robustness, thoughtful honesty and supportive insight.
I work from a person-centred perspective and my values around therapy remain strongly rooted in this approach. Alongside my supervision work, I am an Emotionally Focused Couple and Individual Therapist and am progressing toward certification. Emotionally Focused Therapy, grounded in person-centred principles and attachment theory, deeply informs how I understand relational dynamics—both in therapeutic work and within the supervisory space. I work with individuals and couples, including experience supporting LGBTQIA+ relationships.
My practice is grounded in a non-pathologising stance. I believe that labelling distress can be dehumanising and I am committed to creating spaces where people feel seen and understood rather than categorised. Social justice, feminism and equality are central to my worldview and to how I show up as a therapist and supervisor.
Before training as a counsellor, I worked as a paramedic and in social care, roles that deepened my compassion and strengthened my commitment to working with people in distress. I have over 1,500 hours of counselling experience, gained through work with care experienced adults, students in a college setting and in private practice.
With six years in private practice, I’ve grown my work steadily into a full-time, sustainable business. Along the way, I’ve navigated challenges many counsellors will recognise—starting a practice from scratch, learning to market myself as an introvert whilst balancing the demands of family life. These experiences shape my approach to supervision: practical, compassionate, and grounded in a real understanding of what it takes to develop an ethical, resilient and meaningful counselling practice.
I offer supervision in person in Edinburgh, near Haymarket, as well as online for those further afield.
If you think you might like to work with me, please get in contact to arrange an initial call to explore whether I can support you in your development as a counsellor.
