Supervision details
My approach to clinical supervision is relational, reflective and supportive. I see supervision as a safe professional space where counsellors and psychotherapists can bring not only their client work, but also themselves, their responses, uncertainties, learning edges and developing confidence.
I offer supervision to both qualified and trainee counsellors and psychotherapists at different stages of their professional development. My work includes supporting practitioners to reflect on assessment, risk, boundaries, ethical decision-making, the therapeutic relationship and the use of self in practice.
I value theory, but I also believe supervision needs to feel human, grounded and connected to real clinical work.
We might look closely at a particular session, explore what may have been happening between you and your client, reflect on your own responses, or consider what is emerging within the supervisory relationship itself.
I draw on the Seven-Eyed Model, Clarkson’s Relational Framework, Inskipp and Proctor’s Functional Model, developmental approaches and Bernard’s Discrimination Model to help us view the work from different perspectives while keeping your experience as a practitioner at the centre.
The way I work will depend on what you need. At times, I may offer reflection and support; at others, I may ask a more challenging question, provide practical guidance, or help you think through an ethical or clinical dilemma.
My aim is to offer a space that is compassionate, thoughtful and appropriately challenging. I want supervisees to feel supported rather than judged, and encouraged rather than overwhelmed. Together, we can think about the client, the therapeutic relationship, the wider context and what may be happening emotionally in the room.
For me, supervision is about supporting the development of safe, ethical, reflective and confident practitioners, while honouring the person behind the professional role.

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.
