Supervision details

I offer a relational supervisory space where supervisees can think deeply about their work, themselves, and the systems they practise within. Supervision, for me, is not only about clinical oversight but about creating a safe, spacious relationship in which learning, creativity, and professional identity can flourish.

I work integratively, with a strong emphasis on ethical awareness. I aim to provide guidance whilst remaining collaborative, human, and accessible. The Seven‑Eyed Model is an important part of my practice, supporting a holistic view of the client, the supervisee, and the wider system. I am particularly interested in how supervisees’ inner processes, embodied responses, and personal experiences intersect with their clinical work.

Creativity and symbolism often come into my approach, through metaphor, imagery, or creative interventions such as sandplay, helping to access insights beyond purely cognitive reflection. I value imagination, curiosity, and openness, supporting supervisees to explore their work in ways that feel authentic to them.

Supervisees describe my style as warm and thoughtful, offering both support and gentle challenge. I encourage honest dialogue, welcome vulnerability, and aim to create a supervisory relationship where supervisees feel safe to question themselves and grow in confidence and clarity.

I work well with practitioners who value relational depth, ethical integrity, and a willingness to explore both strengths and areas of growth. I also appreciate working with practitioners who have experienced their own therapy, as this often brings a deeper self‑awareness and openness into the supervisory space. My approach honours the human aspects of the work alongside professional responsibility.

I work either online via Zoom, or from my therapy rooms in Bristol City Centre and Almondsbury, Bristol. If you are seeking a supervisory space that is compassionate, challenging, and grounded — where you can feel supported and develop your professional voice — I would welcome a conversation.
