Supervisor
(MBACP) - Children, Adolescents and Adults

Supervision details

About Me and My Supervision Practice.

As a qualified Supervisor, I offer integrative individual and group supervision that reflects the heart of my therapeutic approach: collaborative, reflective, and grounded in care. Whether you're working with children, young people, or adults, I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your client work, deepen your clinical insight, and grow in confidence and self-awareness.

Supervision with me is not just about reviewing interventions—it's about nurturing your internal supervisor, supporting your wellbeing, and helping you stay connected to your values as a practitioner. I draw on the following supervision models, IDM, Hawkins &Shohet and the Seven-Eyed to guide our work together, offering a rich and flexible structure for reflection.

I hold a strong commitment to anti-discriminatory practice and work sensitively with issues of race, culture, faith, identity, and inequality. My supervision is inclusive and affirming, and I welcome supervisees from all backgrounds and modalities.

My Experience

Since qualifying, I’ve worked across a range of settings including private practice, addiction services, school counselling, domestic violence support, and neurodiversity-affirmative mental health. These experiences have shaped a supervision style that is responsive, ethically grounded, and attuned to therapeutic work.

In addition to my private practice, I supervise both qualified and trainee counsellors across various organisations. I currently hold Clinical Supervisor roles within a domestic violence centre and a school counselling service, supporting practitioners in emotionally demanding and complex environments.

Sessions

I offer online supervision sessions via Zoom and phone throughout the week.

If you're looking for thoughtful, supportive supervision that honours both your professional development and personal wellbeing, I’d love to hear from you. Feel free to get in touch to arrange an initial call—we can explore whether we’re a good fit to work together.

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.
