Supervision details

 Hello, and thank you for visiting. I am an integrative therapist and clinical supervisor offering reflective, supportive, and developmental supervision to counsellors and psychotherapists at various stages of their professional journey. My approach utilizes the Seven-Eyed Model of supervision, which allows exploration of work through different perspectives, client dynamics, therapist process, relational patterns, theoretical frameworks, and wider systemic influences.
Supervision with me is collaborative and ethical, aiming to create a safe and non-judgemental space where you can reflect on your clinical work, gain insight into your practice, and feel supported as a practitioner. My method incorporates elements from psychodynamic, humanistic, and trauma-informed approaches, with experience in dealing with addiction, neurodivergence, and complex trauma.
I currently have limited availability but welcome enquiries from supervisees who believe my approach may be suitable. Whether newly qualified or an experienced therapist seeking to deepen their practice, please feel free to reach out for an informal conversation.

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.
