Supervision details

I bring over 30 years of experience as both a Samaritan and a Samaritan Supervisor, where I have had the privilege of supporting people through some of the most difficult and vulnerable moments in their lives. My counselling journey began at Kaleidoscope, and I am proud to still return there as a volunteer counsellor and group supervisor, offering my time and skills to a community close to my heart .

Alongside this, I run my own counselling practice, where I work with individuals experiencing suicidal ideation, self-harm, and those who identify as neuro-divergent. I am also a qualified couple counsellor, supporting relationships through challenges with warmth, balance, and respect.

My fees start at £60 per hour with a discount for students

As a qualified supervisor, with a certificate in advanced clinical supervision, I aim to create a safe, reflective, and encouraging space where supervisees can grow in confidence and skill and work in an integrated supervisor with a leaning towards the person centred approach. I value openness, compassion, and curiosity, and I believe supervision should feel like a partnership – one where you feel supported, heard, and able to bring your whole self to the work.

Whether you’re just starting out in your counselling career or looking to deepen your practice, I would be delighted to walk alongside you in your professional journey.

NCPS
National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS)

The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

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.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

I have use of another room in Stratford on ground level for people that need wheelchair access or have motability problems,
