Supervision details

I offer individual and group clinical supervision to qualified and trainee therapists, working in person in Bath and Bristol, and online.

My approach to supervision is rooted in psychodynamic and relational thinking. I believe supervision works best when it feels like a genuine collaborative space - somewhere you can bring the cases that are troubling you, the moments you're unsure about, and the feelings that linger after a session ends. Together, we can think about what's happening in the room between you and your client, and what that might be telling us.

All of my supervisory work is trauma-informed, shaped by my experience working in a specialist trauma centre. I bring that awareness into supervision, helping supervisees think carefully about the impact of traumatic material- both on their clients and on themselves.

I am committed to inclusive supervision practice and warmly welcome clinicians from all backgrounds, including all forms of neurodivergence. I believe our identities, experiences, and ways of thinking are central to our clinical work, and I aim to create a supervisory space where all of that can be brought and explored openly.

I have particular experience supervising therapists who work with interpreters, and understand the unique relational and ethical complexities this brings, including questions of trust, confidentiality, and the three-way dynamic in the room.

I also offer organisational supervision to teams and leaders, supporting the relational and emotional dimensions of professional life. This work draws on the same psychodynamic principles, applied to the dynamics of groups, institutions, and working relationships.

I supervise both open-ended and short-term work.

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.
