Supervision details
I hold a Certificate in Clinical Supervision from the Metanoia Institute. My approach to supervision reflects my own training as an integrative psychotherapist and is informed particularly by relational psychoanalysis, Lacanian theory and hermeneutic phenomenology.
I aim to offer a supportive and thoughtful space where supervisees can speak openly about their clinical work, including moments of uncertainty, difficulty or stuckness. Supervision, for me, is a place to be curious about what is happening in the work without assuming there is a single 'right' answer.
I pay particular attention to the therapeutic relationship and to the conscious and unconscious dynamics that develop between therapist and patient, as well as to the wider relational context of the work. I am interested in how the therapist may be drawn into or affected by the clinical process, and in what their own responses might help us understand about the work.
I do not see supervision as a matter of providing ready-made answers or prescribing a particular way of practising. It is an opportunity to think together, consider different ways of understanding the clinical material and allow new perspectives to emerge. I hope to support supervisees in becoming more confident in their own clinical judgement while developing a way of working that is thoughtful, grounded and recognisably their own.

Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
