About My Supervision Practice

 

I am a Registered NCPS Senior Accredited Counsellor and Supervisor with 25 years of experience across NHS and private practice settings. I work with the 7-eyed model of supervision and offer both online and face-to-face supervision to post-qualification counsellors and therapists, as well as practitioners in other helping professions. I am also a qualified EMDR practitioner.

 

 

My Approach

 

My aim as a supervisor is to offer a safe, stimulating, and genuinely supportive space in which you can bring both your successes and your dilemmas. I see supervision as a creative process — one that supports you in becoming an increasingly reflective practitioner, developing your own best practice, and growing in confidence, skill, and effectiveness.

 

I encourage an open, non-judgemental exploratory approach to client work, where you can engage with challenge in the spirit of shared curiosity rather than defensiveness. Where appropriate, I will offer a fresh perspective and invite you to work at your learning edge, fostering the kind of self-enquiry that underpins excellent practice.

 

I have been supervising since 2012, working with individual and group supervisees in private practice, NHS settings, counselling agencies, and with non-counsellor helping professionals.

 

Practical Information

 

Online sessions are conducted using equipment with appropriate firewall, virus, and password protection.Supervision is offered at £55 per hour.

 

Choosing a supervisor is a significant professional decision, and I encourage you to take the time to get it right. I offer a free, no-obligation 30-minute introductory conversation to discuss your supervision needs openly. Where both parties are happy to proceed, I suggest an initial three-month period, after which you have the opportunity to review and decide whether to continue on an ongoing basis.

 

I am listed on the Anti-Discrimination Race Aware Directory (TADF).
