A supportive space for your growth as a practitioner
Supervision with me is a collaborative, reflective space where you can bring your whole self — your skills, your questions, your uncertainties, and your developing professional identity. My aim is to offer a relationship that feels safe, steady, and encouraging, where you can explore your work with honesty and curiosity.
Whether you are a trainee counsellor or an experienced practitioner, I hold supervision as a place to deepen your understanding, strengthen your confidence, and stay connected to the heart of your therapeutic work.
My approach to supervision
My supervision style is warm, relational, and grounded in person‑centred values. I believe that practitioners thrive when they feel genuinely heard and supported, and when there is space to think together about what is happening in the work.
In our sessions, you can expect:
- A collaborative, non‑judgemental atmosphere
- Space to reflect on your client work at your own pace
- Gentle challenge when it supports your growth
- Attention to ethical practice and professional wellbeing
- A trauma‑informed, integrative perspective
- A focus on your development as a practitioner, not just your caseload
I see supervision as a shared process — one where we learn from each other and stay connected to what matters most in the therapeutic relationship.
Who I work with
I offer supervision for:
- Qualified counsellors and psychotherapists
- Trainee counsellors (including those needing placement supervision)
- Practitioners working in community, voluntary, or organisational settings
Sessions are available online only.
What you might bring to supervision
Supervision is a space for anything that feels important in your work, including:
- Client material and therapeutic process
- Ethical questions or dilemmas
- Moments of uncertainty or stuckness
- Celebrations and successes
- Your emotional responses and wellbeing
- Professional identity and development
- Placement or training requirements
Nothing is too small or too complex — if it matters to you, it matters here.
