A place to pause, think and feel supported in your work
Reflective, relational clinical supervision for counsellors and therapists.
a place where you do not have to perform
Supervision is more than a requirement.
It offers room to think honestly
There are times in therapeutic work when a session stays with you. You may feel uncertain about what happened, troubled by an aspect of the work, or simply need room to hear your own thinking again.
I offer thoughtful, confidential supervision where you can bring the work as it really is, the questions, the stuck places, the moments of confidence and the moments of doubt.
Making space for the whole picture
Sometimes it is the client story that needs attention. Sometimes it is what is happening in the relationship or what the work is stirring in you.
The client work
Cases, patterns, risk, boundaries and the choices available to you.
The relationship
Transference, counter-transference and what may be communicated without words.
You as a practitioner
Your responses, resilience, professional identity and the kind of therapist you are becoming.
Reflective and robust
Warmth and challenge can belong together
My supervision is integrative, relational and collaborative. I will support you while also inviting us to stay curious when something feels uncomfortable or unclear. Challenge is offered with care, in service of your clients, your ethical practice and your continued growth.
A space to think freely and to leave with greater clarity.
Experience grounded in practice
My supervision is informed by more than twenty years’ experience as a counsellor, including fourteen years at Brunel University London.
I work with trainees, newly qualified counsellors and experienced practitioners. You may be building confidence, navigating a demanding caseload or developing your own way of working.
As a BACP-accredited counsellor and qualified integrative supervisor, I bring professional experience, ethical attention and genuine curiosity to our work together.

FAQs
Questions you may have
Practical details about working with me.
What happens in our first supervision session?
Our first session gives us time to understand your current practice, caseload, experience and what you hope supervision will offer. We can talk about the balance of support and challenge that feels most helpful, clarify our respective responsibilities and begin forming a clear supervision agreement.
You do not need to arrive with a polished account of your work. We can begin with whatever feels most present.
What if I am worried that I have made a mistake?
Supervision needs to be somewhere uncertainty, discomfort and mistakes can be spoken about honestly. You will not be shamed or expected to defend yourself.
Together, we can slow the situation down, consider what may have happened, keep the client’s wellbeing at the centre and identify any repair or further action that may be needed. The aim is accountability held with compassion.
How do you approach ethical dilemmas, risk or safeguarding concerns?
We will consider the situation from several perspectives, including client welfare, professional ethics, legal or organisational responsibilities, the therapeutic relationship and your own responses.
I will not simply make the decision for you. My role is to support clear, thoughtful and responsible decision-making. Where appropriate, we may identify further guidance, consultation or action that is needed.
Is supervision confidential?
Our supervision conversations are treated as confidential within agreed professional, ethical and legal boundaries. Client material should be shared in a way that protects confidentiality and is consistent with any relevant workplace or placement policy.
If something raises a serious concern about safety, safeguarding or professional practice, we would think together about what needs to happen next. The boundaries and limits of confidentiality will be discussed clearly when we establish our supervision agreement.
Do I need to work in the same therapeutic approach as you?
My own approach is integrative, person-centred and relational. I can work with counsellors whose practice draws on different models, provided that the work is within my competence and the supervision arrangement meets your professional requirements.
During the introductory call, we can discuss your modality, client group and working setting. I will always be open with you if I feel that another supervisor may be better placed to support a particular area of practice.
Can supervision meet the requirements of my course or placement?
If you are a trainee, we will clarify the requirements of your course and placement before beginning. We can agree in advance how responsibilities, communication with the training provider and any required reports or reviews will be handled.
Requirements can differ between courses and placements, so you will need to confirm the specific arrangements they expect. We can then consider together whether I am able to meet them.
Begin with a conversation
Would it help to think together?
You are welcome to arrange an introductory call to talk about your practice, what you need from supervision and whether working together feels right. There is no pressure to decide beforehand.
