Supervision details
Hi there and thank you for visiting my Supervision profile.
I aim to provide you with a supportive, collaborative and consultative space, so that you can reflect and grow confidently within your clinical practice.
The work we do can often be emotionally challenging and your wellbeing is of paramount importance. I aim for supervision to have a relational and restorative function. I may invite practical, creative and mindfulness activities to help you reflect upon and process the work in a more embodied way.
Experience
I have worked in educational, NHS, charity and digital services throughout my career both as a therapist and supervisor.
I originally worked as an external supervisor for the University of St Mark and St John in 2008 supporting students through Masters Level Youth and Community training. I moved into therapeutic roles in 2009 and qualified as an integrative counsellor in 2014.
I have extensive experience of working in a range of settings including:
- Adult mental health/therapy organisations (including IAPT services)
- Digital/Online Mental Health services for young people and adults
- Schools & Further Education
- Young people's Mental Health/Counselling services.
- Sexual health & Drug and Alcohol charities
- Sexual/Domestic abuse/Violence services
I am sensitive to the systemic aspects and complexities of working with safeguarding and risk through my work with vulnerable adults and young people in frontline organisations.
I have also provided coaching and supervision to clinical leaders and managers who are seeking to reflect upon and improve their performance within their work setting.
I hold a Diploma in Supervision and integrate a range of models including the Hawkins and Shohet 7-eye model as basis of my approach as it recognises the relational and systemic aspects of supervision, which is particularly helpful lens for those working in and alongside organisations.
Our work will be considered within an anti-oppressive framework. This means becoming more aware of our own bias so that we can adapt and attend to the impact of power and difference in the therapeutic relationship.
Wherever you are at on your journey, whether you are in training or qualified, I will tailor supervision to meet your needs and consider the context/modality, level of training and ethical framework in which the work is delivered.
My fee for one hour supervision is £60 for 1 hour/£80 for 1.5 hours I offer a reduced rate for counsellors/coaches in training.
When I work:
Monday (online/daytimes/early eve)
Tuesday (in person/daytime)

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.
