Supervision details

Supervision, at its heart, is about relationship, creating a space where you feel genuinely heard, supported, and empowered to do your best work while staying true to yourself.

Whether you are in training, newly qualified, or experienced, supervision adapts to meet you exactly where you are in your professional journey.

What supervision offers you:

Working together, we will ensure your clients receive the compassionate, safe, and effective support they deserve. Alongside this, we will explore and nurture your unique therapeutic style, deepen your professional understanding, and celebrate your evolving identity as a practitioner.

Supervision provides a trusted space to process the emotional weight of your work, explore challenges openly, and sustain your well-being. When complex or ethically sensitive situations arise, we will think through them together, examining different perspectives and finding paths that honour both your values and your professional responsibilities.

Through supportive feedback and collaboration reflection you will build confidence in your abilities and decision making, and develop a richer understanding of how your own experiences, strengths and responses shape your therapeutic relationship.

My Theoretical Framework

My supervision practice draws on three complementary models: the Seven-Eyed Model, Proctor’s Model, and the CRAFTS Model.

The CRAFTS Model forms the backbone of how we work together, integrating the following elements:

Creativity — I bring creative approaches into our supervision space to encourage fresh thinking and deeper insight. Using art materials, imagery, colour, metaphor, and playful techniques, we can access unconscious material and explore your client work with greater depth and perspective, opening up new possibilities and ways of thinking.

Reflective — Reflective practice sits at the heart of our work. We will take time to consider what is going well, what feels challenging, and what your internal responses are telling you. Drawing on Proctor’s formative, normative, and restorative functions, this process supports your self-awareness and ongoing personal development.

Awareness — Together, we will deepen your awareness of self, parallel process, transference, and countertransference, in alignment with the Seven-Eyed and Proctor’s models. This means holding in mind the client’s experience, your own responses, the dynamics of your therapeutic relationship, and the broader systemic influences at play — integrating mind, body, feelings, and intuition.

Focus — Our supervision remains purposeful and goal-oriented. Using solution-focused questions, we will explore areas for development, examine personal biases and beliefs, and ensure that work stays ethical and client-centred. We will also recognise and gently challenge defence mechanisms and any risk of collusion, supporting you to handle complex and demanding situations with clarity and skill.

Transformation — Supervision is a space for genuine growth. By fostering your autonomy, we create the conditions for personal and professional transformation developing new skills, deepening self-understanding, and generating positive change for both you and your clients.

Systemic — Together, we will explore how family, community, cultural background, and wider relational contexts shape both your therapeutic work and your own experience, helping you to see yourself and your practice within this full, rich picture.

If you are interested in supervision, please do get in touch. We can have an initial conversation to explore whether I am the right supervisor for you and how we might work together. I offer supervision both face-to-face and online, and I look forward to hearing from you.

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.
