Supervision details
I am a UKCP reg. Psychotherapist, and a UKCP Recognised Supervisor (RS). I trained for supervision at the Institute of Group Analysis (IGA), London, with a group analytic and psychodynamic orientation. I offer both Individual Supervision and Group Supervision. I offer supervision from a relational, psychodynamic perspective. I can supervisor for your clinical work with individuals, couples and groups.
I offer supervision to UKCP reg. Psychotherapists and UKCP Trainee Therapists.
Individual Supervision
I understand supervision as a professional space in which therapists can bring their clinical challenges with openness, honesty and vulnerability. This depth of openness does not occur immediately, but develops over time through consistency, trust and continuity.
Being able to reflect on your internal responses in relation to your patients can open an important doorway into the unconscious processes operating within the therapeutic relationship. Supervision then becomes a place where these processes, including their push and pull, projections and projective identifications, and experiences of transference and countertransference, can be thought about and analysed in service to the patient.
From a psychodynamic and depth psychotherapy perspective, the framework from which I work in supervision, patients often enter therapy with the conscious wish to feel better and to work through historical and current relational wounds. At the same time, unconscious processes can shape and at times dominate the therapeutic relationship. For example, whilst a patient may consciously hope for a different relational experience, their unconscious may recreate familiar and distressing relational patterns with the therapist.
The task of the therapist is to remain open to the analysis of these processes, so that they can be metabolised and responded to differently.
Group Supervision
Group supervision with me is an invitation for you to see the richness and the depth that a group can give each participant when trying to understand the unconscious processes of your clients and of your therapeutic relationships. A group offers a multi-dimensional picture of what a client brings to therapy in the unspoken space.
Group supervision can:
- Cut down the isolation of being in private practice.
- Give a sense of being human when faced with the challenges of clinical work
- Feel part of a community of therapists.
- Help you learn about wide-ranging clinical presentations by listening to others’ experiences.
Counts Towards: Group supervision with me will cover you for your work with Individuals, Couples and Groups.

Fortnightly Commitment to Group Supervision
By seeking Group Supervision with me, you would be committing to attending fortnightly supervision each month. Just like in therapy, it is the continuity and consistency that help us to go into depth, and therefore, this commitment is to ensure just that.
My first session
Our first appointment will be an individual supervision session of 55 minutes, charged at £77. The purpose of this meeting is for me to gain an initial understanding of your clinical work and to assess whether we can work together.
As group supervision informed by psychodynamic and analytic thinking can involve complex relational and unconscious processes, I may invite you to attend up to three further individual supervision sessions (50 minutes, £70 per session) before offering a place in the group. These meetings allow me to form a fuller understanding of your clinical work and to ensure that the group remains a thoughtful and well-contained supervisory space. All subsequent online group supervision sessions are charged at £45 per participant.
All subsequent individual supervision sessions are charged at £70 for 50 minutes.
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.
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.
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.
