How I work
I work with the core conditions and integratively and draw on multiple therapeutic perspectives, whilst staying clear and coherent in the supervision process. I use the 7 eyed model combined with the CLEAR model of supervision.

This framework allows for:

• Ongoing contracting between us
• Listening and space for you to bring and express what you need to
• Upholding of your professional competence with tips and education where appropriate
• Continous client and relational exploration
• Pattern and interaction recognition

Supervision with me is:

• Collaborative
• We think together and explore meaning rather than searching for certainty. Your experience perspective and professional judgement matter.
• Reflective
  We slow the work down, so that patterns, responses and dilemmas can be noticed and understood.
• Grounded and practical
  Reflection is always connected to real client work and what supports you next in your practice.
• Ethically robust
  Safeguarding ,boundaries and professional responsibility are held clearly and calmly.
• Supportive and appropriately challenging
• Enough safety to be honest and enough challenge to support growth and learning.

Who I work with
I currently offer online clinical supervision to:

• Newly qualified practitioners developing confidence
• Experienced counsellors and therapists wanting a reflective supervisory space
• I work with adults only, but am qualified in both adult and child safeguarding.

What we may explore together
Each supervision session is shaped around what you bring.

Common areas of focus include:

• Client work that feels complex stuck or uncertain
• The therapeutic relationship and your use of self
• Transference, countertransference and parallel process
• Risk, safeguarding and ethical decision making
• Contracting, boundaries and endings
• The experience of working online, including presence containment and disconnection
• Confidence, self-doubt and professional development
  Strengthening your internal supervisor so learning carries into your work

Online supervision
All supervision sessions take place online via Zoom. The structure and professional boundaries of the work are held clearly through our supervision contract, which supports safety clarity and accountability.

Structure and frequency
Most supervisees choose:

• Monthly supervision for smaller caseloads and established practitioners
• Fortnightly supervision for those earlier in practice
  Sessions are 60 or 90 minutes depending on your caseload and training requirements.

Collaboration and accountability
Supervision is not therapy but it is human. You don’t need to arrive with everything neatly worked out or perform competence.

At the same time supervision carries responsibility. If something raises ethical concern or risk, it is named and worked with directly in service of client safety and your development as a practitioner.

Collaboration and accountability sit side by side.

Next steps
If you are considering working together the first step is a short online conversation. This gives us space to:

• Get a sense of how we each work
• Talk through your context caseload and needs
• Check practicalities including timing and fees
• See whether it feels like a good fit
