Supervision details
Supervision for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (Clinical Supervision)
I offer clinical supervision for both qualified and trainee counsellors and psychotherapists, online and in-person in Somerset.
My approach is relational, collaborative, eclectic and pragmatic. I aim to provide a safe, thoughtful and non-judgemental space where you can explore your clinical work and professional development in depth.
I don’t see supervision as something that fits into one fixed model. Instead, I work in a responsive and integrative way, supporting you, your client work, and the wider ethical and professional context you are working within.
At the heart of my work is the belief that a strong, trusting supervisory relationship is central to reflective practice, clinical thinking, and sustaining yourself in this work over time.
My approach to clinical supervision
My supervision practice is grounded in a relational and integrative framework. Rather than working from a single model, I take an eclectic and pragmatic approach, adapting to your needs, your way of working, and your stage of development.
I draw on a range of established supervision models, including:
Mazzetti’s Operational Model – bringing attention to structure, clarity, and process
Inskipp and Proctor’s Functional Model – holding the formative, normative, and restorative aspects of supervision
Hawkins and Shohet’s Seven-Eyed Model – offering a relational and systemic lens on the work.
Alongside these, I integrate perspectives from psychodynamic, person-centred, Gestalt, and transactional analysis approaches, depending on what best supports your work.
This allows supervision to remain alive, flexible, and responsive, rather than overly structured or prescriptive.
What supervision can offer
Supervision with me offers a space to reflect on:
Your client work and therapeutic process
Relational dynamics within the therapy room
Ethical decision-making and professional boundaries
Transference, countertransference, and parallel process
The emotional impact of the work
Your professional identity and development
Working with complexity, uncertainty, or feeling stuck
Whether you are bringing specific clinical material or thinking more broadly about your development, I aim to offer a containing, reflective, and collaborative space.

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.
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.
