I have experienced supervising private therapists as well as therapists working for mental health services.
I have supervised in services such as Off the Record, Young Somerset, Leading Lights, St. Peter's Hospice and Bristol Mind.

I have experience supervising both 1:2:1 and in groups. Depending on the therapist, I can draw upon a pluralistic approach (humanistic counselling, CBT, ACT, constellations etc.) as well as creative media (eg. art, objects and sandtray) to explore the therapeutic work, with specialist experience working with children and young people, as well as adults.
I supervise trainees, qualified therapists, and supervisors, as well as practitioners outside the therapy field.
