Supervision details
My supervisory approach is rooted in reflection, action, and continuous growth. I aim to support supervisees in critically evaluating their client work while also encouraging them to take active steps to develop their practice.
I hold a strong belief in personal and professional development: if we are not continually learning, we are not serving our clients to the highest standard. At the same time, I recognise that supervision should be a safe, non-judgemental space where you can bring both your strengths and your struggles without fear of criticism.
In supervision, I adopt a growth-oriented stance, recognising that the relationship is reciprocal — I seek to learn from supervisees as much as they may learn from me. I understand that supervisees may worry about “getting it wrong” or being evaluated too harshly. My role is not to judge but to collaborate with you, helping you reflect honestly on your practice while feeling supported and respected.
As an Advisory Board member for the Autism Wellbeing Project, I bring specific skills and experience in Autism-affirming and ADHD-affirming practice, supporting supervisees to work in ways that are respectful, strengths-based, and inclusive. This includes exploring how neurodivergence may shape the therapeutic process and helping you to develop confidence in adapting approaches to meet diverse client needs.
Supervision with me often includes recommendations for further study, drawing upon a wide range of theoretical perspectives, including counselling, neuroscience, and business practices, to broaden understanding and strengthen professional confidence. These suggestions are always offered as opportunities to expand your knowledge, not as requirements or critiques of your ability.
I see supervision as a partnership: a place where challenge and encouragement sit side by side, allowing you to explore your work openly, build confidence, and continue to grow both personally and professionally.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. 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.
