Supervision details
Working as a counsellor brings a deep honour in being trusted by others to enter their inner worlds, yet it also carries a unique kind of professional pressure around our own self-awareness and containment. Using ourselves as the primary tool in the therapy room demands a high level of self-awareness. Yet, being human means that no matter how experienced we are, we cannot possibly spot every dynamic or catch every personal response as it happens. Our own lived experience inevitably enters the room with us, and the work of staying curious about that impact is a lifelong process. Bringing another set of clinical senses into your work offers a grounded, supportive space to process those subtle pulls, and gain a wider and deeper perspective without judgment. As an integrative supervisor, my role is to offer a collaborative, reflective environment where you can review your caseload, honour the reality of the work, and feel genuinely supported in your clinical decision-making.
How We Work Together
Supervision with me is an active, reflective partnership holding both clinical responsibility and relational depth. Naturally, we explore client material, navigate ethical dilemmas, and think through risk with care and clarity. At the same time, we look beyond purely exploring client material from a distance. Together, we look closely at the subtle interpersonal patterns unfolding in the therapy room and make room to process what gets evoked within you when holding complex client material. We also pay gentle attention to the living dynamic between us in the supervisory room, noticing how unconscious processes or parallel dynamics might illuminate what is happening in your client relationships. If you value a grounded, ethically sound practice that balances thorough case discussion with curiosity about the relational and unconscious layers of therapeutic work, you will find our sessions well-aligned.
Who I Work With & Getting Started
I offer supervision exclusively to qualified counsellors and psychotherapists working with adult clients (18+) who hold registered membership with a recognized professional body such as the BACP, COSCA, or equivalent.
Because finding the right supervisor is a relational decision, I offer an initial informal conversation so we can discuss your practice, get a feel for how we connect, and ensure our working styles align smoothly.
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.
