Supervision details

As a supervisor, I offer a collaborative, relational, and supportive space where supervisees can reflect openly on their client work, professional development, and personal responses to practice.

I believe that effective supervision is built on a trusting and authentic relationship. My relational approach values curiosity, openness, and mutual respect, creating an environment where supervisees feel safe to explore both their strengths and challenges. I aim to provide a balance of support and constructive challenge, encouraging deeper reflection and growth while maintaining a compassionate and encouraging stance.

I enjoy working creatively and collaboratively, often “bouncing ideas around” together to explore different perspectives, possibilities, and interventions. Rather than positioning myself as the expert, I see supervision as a shared process of discovery, where learning emerges through dialogue, reflection, and curiosity.

I offer thoughtful challenge when appropriate, helping supervisees to consider blind spots, ethical dilemmas, relational dynamics, and alternative ways of understanding their work. My intention is always to support confidence, professional development, and safe, ethical practice while fostering self-awareness and resilience.

Whether you are a trainee counsellor, newly qualified practitioner, or experienced therapist, I strive to provide a reflective, engaging, and supportive supervisory relationship that nurtures both professional competence and personal growth.

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.
