Supervision details

I hold a Master's in Integrative Counselling from the Faculty of Education at Cambridge and a Postgraduate Diploma in Family and Systemic Practice.

I specialise in providing clinical supervision to child and adolescent counsellors, counselling students and other professionals who work with children. 

Using the 7-eyed model of supervision, I offer friendly and insightful guidance to help you:

  •  Deepen your understanding of cases
  • Improve your skills
  • Provide the best care for your young clients.

Together, we'll explore your experiences and discover ways to make your work even more effective and rewarding. 

Qualifications and experience

  • Accredited counsellor with BACP
  • 8 years' experience counselling children, young people and young adults (4-25)
  • CPCAB level 6 qualification in Counselling Supervision
  • Extensive experience of working in schools. I have consulted for schools to help them set up their own counselling services, as well as providing services in schools.
  • Additional training in pre-trial therapy and training with Gendered Intelligence to support trans, gender diverse and questioning people.
  • Keen interest in practice management systems, such as Writeupp, Power Diary and Pragmatic Tracker. I can support you to explore ways of streamlining your practice.
  • Experienced with supporting counsellors through their successful BACP accreditation applications. I can support you to do this too.
  • Teaching experience as a CPCAB L4 tutor. I can support you as a student if you are currently working towards qualification.  

I currently work in full time private practice and can support you if you are looking to grow your own private practice. Work with me to make a difference in the lives of the children you help.

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.

Key details

DBS check info

In England and Wales, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS, formerly known as CRB) carry out criminal records checks for individuals working with vulnerable groups, such as children. To find out more, visit gov.uk , or contact this professional directly

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

My therapy rooms are on the ground floor, and I have a ramp for the front step. Alongside my counselling room, there is a waiting room with comfortable seating, a desk and wi-fi. There is also a dedicated kitchen and accessible toilet facilities.
