A Safe, Supportive and Aware environment can create the space that may be needed to build resilience and bring about positive and lasting change.   

I have experience of working in many fields of emotional growth and development both in the UK and Abroad, over this time I have focused on ensuring that Individuals feel empowered to develop skills that bring about change. I have managed and led teams of Therapeutic Practitioners supporting young people, and Adults as well as families with complex needs. I also work with an older population that have been impacted by Health event related Trauma and Bereavement, including the effect of COVID.

I recognise that Therapy is not for everyone, and sometimes all that we want is a space to explore thoughts and feelings that we find difficult or challenging. My service can offer you that safe space and support you to put things in place that assist you in making sense of a world that can at times feel just a bit overwhelming.

I offer an initial free consultation via Zoom or phone which is free of charge. 

If you then feel that you would wish to begin working together we shall have an initial session, which will give you the opportunity to explore the reasons why you feel that you may wish to access Therapeutic support. This initial session is at no cost. After that all sessions will be provided at £65.00- £85.00 per 50 min session.

I have availability for clients and Supervisees, please contact me to arrange an initial conversation so that we can look at the best ways for us to work together.

I first trained as a supervisor in 2013 and have been supporting Therapeutic practitioners operating in many different modalities over the last 8 years. I recognise that all good Therapy is based around relationships and the points of reference that we develop through those relationships. Supervision like therapy only works effectively when open, honest and transparent communication is established. I can assist you in looking at the structures that develop between you and your Client and the impact that the wider organisational structures have on that relationship. Whether you are an experienced Practitioner looking to develop a consultative relationship or if you are a newly qualified practitioner looking to develop a service and build a firm Client base for your practice, I am able to offer you the support that may assist you in looking at the work you deliver from a new perspective.

I offer an initial telephone of zoom consultation free of charge and then if you feel that we can work together we can look at contracting a first session. Most Supervision sessions are 1 hour or 1,5 hours depending on need.

I have availability depending of service led need.

I have had a varied and diverse employment history both in the UK and America.

During this time, I have work extensively with Corporate and Health and Social care providers to ensure high quality targeted care provision. I have had to manage a case load of employers, employees and clients all of whom have required individual support and guidance in developing bespoke training packages.

To ensure that I have been able to face these challenges I have had to use a great deal of interpersonal and networking skills facilitating an environment of individual and corporate empowerment and positive change.
