Supervision details
I am a qualified and experienced supervisor, offering a safe, supportive, and reflective space for therapists to explore their practice. With a person-centered and integrative approach, my supervision is grounded in collaboration and tailored to meet the unique needs of each supervisee.
My practice is informed by the 7-Eyed Model or Supervision, which allows for a holistic exploration of the therapeutic relationship, the client’s process, and the wider systemic context.
I specialise in trauma, including childhood trauma, relationship trauma, abuse, and PTSD, and bring a trauma-informed perspective to supervision. I also have expertise in working with neurodivergent individuals, enabling me to support therapists working with diverse client populations.
In addition to in-person supervision, I am qualified in online and telephone counselling, offering flexibility for therapists working across various modalities.
I have extensive experience working with children, young people, and adults, and I am passionate about helping therapists develop confidence and competence in their work with different client groups.
Whether you are newly qualified or an experienced practitioner, my supervision aims to foster growth, ethical practice, and self-care, ensuring you feel supported and empowered in your professional journey.
I offer reduced rates for students and for qualified therapists with a small caseload. Please contact me for further information.
I am committed to fostering a supportive and ethical supervisory relationship, helping supervisees develop confidence, self-awareness, and clinical effectiveness.
I have a background in the NHS as a Nurse and Midwife and extensive experience of leadership incorporating supervision within those roles. I am also a qualified Coach and have worked at a large University supporting both staff and students.
Whilst I am acquiring my hours I charge a reduced rate.

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.
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.
