Supervision details
Why choose me?
As a BACP accredited integrative and relational individual therapist, my supervisory approach is to have an individualised, considered and above all, caring response to my supervisees’ work and their practice. I begin every supervision session with a mental wellbeing check in. I believe you as a counsellor, need not only a reflective space, but an emotionally safe space also and a chance to talk about you. Please tell me how you are! Due to my current role working as Counselling Service Lead for NHS frontline workers, I have extensive experience of working with depression, anxiety, childhood/adult abuse and have specialist training in trauma and PTSD and have supervised counsellor groups, individual therapists, healthcare clinicians and managers.
I also work as a group supervisor for a charity that offers low cost therapy to women in the local area. I support trainee therapists to provide ethical and effective counselling to women struggling with trauma, menopause, health conditions, relationship difficulties, fertility related issues, pregnancy challenges, abuse, depression, anxiety and stress.
How I work
I work purposefully and empathically with you to build a trusting relationship that challenges, nurtures and supports, alongside developing your confidence, knowledge and abilities in providing effective and ethical counselling to clients. I respect your training, level of experience and in-depth knowledge of your own clients and offer you time to reflect on what is happening in the therapeutic space. We will explore together any issues that you may wish to bring, be that around client work, personal development or work-related issues. For qualified therapists, I can also support you with the BACP accreditation process.
Style
Supervision is integrative, combining person-centred, psychodynamic and gestalt theories as well as cognitive behavioural techniques but as Carl Jung says, “Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul be just another human soul.” and I concur. The relationship between supervisor and supervisee is incredibly important and building that relationship is essential for me to deliver successful and effective supervision. I believe and have been told, I'm very easy to talk to and supervision sessions can be fun and light when needed! Connection is key.
Trauma trained
To support your work with clients who have experienced trauma, supervision can focus on specific interventions such as the internal family systems approach and regulating the nervous system with polyvagal theory. This flexible and relational style allows me to be adaptable and work with a variety of modalities and counselling practitioner styles.
Supervision model
There are a variety of models of supervision in use today. One of the most common is Hawkins and Shohet’s Seven-Eyed Model, and this is the core model I adopt. However, I offer flexibility and creativity in the approach used, adapting it to meet the need and preferences of each supervisee.
Safety
You may be working independently in private practice or for an organisation, either way, it's important that you don't feel isolated so my aim is to be as encouraging and supportive as I can be. I work to the BACP's ethical framework and while you bear the primary responsibility of your client work, I will ensure your practice adheres to a recognised, safe and ethical standard and at times, adopting a more directive approach when required.
Accessibility
Whatever your location, I offer a free introductory call to discuss your unique needs and requirements from supervision. Sessions are available face to face in Surbiton in Southwest London or online UK wide.

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.
