Dr. HCPC

Supervision details

I offer supervision to psychologists working across a range of settings, including private practice, NHS services, and specialist roles. My supervision style is reflective, structured, and context-aware, supporting both clinical effectiveness and professional sustainability.

Supervision provides a space to think carefully about clinical work, including formulation, intervention, risk, boundaries, and ethical decision-making. I work collaboratively, helping clinicians develop clarity and confidence when working with complexity, uncertainty, and high-stakes situations. This includes work with neurodiversity (ADHD and autism), trauma, eating disorders, emotional regulation difficulties, and complex presentations.

Alongside clinical reflection, I support supervisees with broader professional issues such as workload management, role development, confidence, and navigating systems and organisational pressures. Supervision is adapted to the clinician’s level of experience, role, and professional goals, and can be supportive, exploratory, and appropriately challenging.

My approach integrates evidence-based practice with reflective and relational thinking, ensuring supervision remains grounded, ethical, and clinically useful. The focus is on maintaining high standards of care while supporting the clinician’s growth, resilience, and professional identity over time.

HCPC
Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC)

The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.

They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.

Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
