Supervision details

I believe supervision should be a place where professional knowledge and personal understanding can be thoughtfully woven together. The therapeutic relationship is deeply human and, at times, our clients' experiences may resonate with our own. Rather than avoiding this, I believe supervision offers an opportunity to explore these responses with curiosity, reflection and compassion, ensuring they inform rather than direct our practice.

My approach is collaborative, reflective and grounded in warmth. I aim to walk alongside supervisees as they celebrate successes, navigate challenges and continue developing confidence in their clinical judgement. Supervision should be a space where you feel both supported and appropriately challenged, allowing you to grow as a practitioner while remaining connected to your own wellbeing.

As an eclectic clinical supervisor, I bring together lived and professional experience across neurodivergence, trauma, psychosexual presentations, complex safeguarding and preventative therapeutic practice. I have a particular passion for prevention and for recognising opportunities to interrupt cycles of harm before they become further embedded. I believe that meaningful therapeutic change rarely affects just one person; when individuals grow, their relationships, families and wider support networks often experience that change too. Holding these wider systems in mind can enrich both our clinical thinking and our therapeutic practice.

Whether you are newly qualified or an experienced practitioner, I strive to create an inclusive, respectful and ethically grounded supervisory relationship where curiosity is encouraged, difference is valued and learning is shared. For me, supervision is more than professional accountability—it is a place to think together, to reflect deeply, and to continue becoming the therapist you aspire to be.

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-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.
