Supervision details

I am a relational integrative psychotherapist (MSc) with eight years’ experience, currently working towards UKCP level 7 accreditation. My training has been with The Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute. I also bring over 30 years’ experience as a nurse, which informs my grounded, compassionate, and ethically focused approach.

I offer clinical supervision to counsellors, psychotherapists, and professionals in helping roles, including social workers, nurses, and teachers.

My supervision practice is rooted in the belief that growth happens through relationship. I provide a warm, collaborative, and reflective space where you can explore your clinical work openly, with client welfare held at the centre.

Working from a humanistic and integrative perspective, I draw on a relational and developmental model, supporting curiosity about both the therapeutic relationship and the wider context of your work. I pay particular attention to relational dynamics, including those that may be outside of immediate awareness.

I aim to offer a supervision space that balances safety and thoughtful challenge, supporting you to deepen your confidence, presence, and relational practice.

Please feel free to get in touch via email to discuss supervision.

UKCP
UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP)

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
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.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

I work in Oakham and Peterborough. Peterborough is wheel chair accessible, unfortunately Oakham premises is not.
