Supervision details

Supervision is a collaborative and supportive space to pause and bring curiosity to your counselling practice and way of being as a counsellor. I work both in private practice and an NHS-commissioned counselling service, and I understand the very different demands and contexts counsellors navigate day to day. 

I bring a contemporary person-centred integrative perspective to my practice and look forward to working with counsellors and psychotherapists who are curious about the common ground between person-centred experiential counselling and psychodynamic, phenomenological and relational approaches. 

Currently I am completing a certificate in supervision at the Centre for Supervision and Team Development London as well as a diploma in supervision for Person-Centred Experiential Counselling for Depression at Metanoia Institute. 

How I offer supervision

I work with individuals and groups, in person in NW5 or SE15, and online. 

While I am completing the required hours for certification, I offer sessions at a reduced rate until November 2026.

Supervision in German - Ich biete Supervision auch auf Deutsch an für muttersprachliche und bilinguale Therapeut:innen sowie Fachkräfte in helfenden Berufen und anderen professionellen Tätigkeitsfeldern.

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.
