Practice description
My aim is to engage with you in the emotional space where you are. This can sometimes mean meeting with deep seated and difficult feelings, such as anxiety, panic, rage, shame, or despair. Having done a great deal of training and therapy, and having a broad life experience, I am able to make myself fully available to work in these difficult places with you, and help bring healing to what has seemed stuck or hopeless. The invitation is to bring whatever you want to your session, and to let this evolve and unfold as the need arises.

About me and my therapy practice
I have many years experience of bringing awareness to the habitual position, both personally and regarding adherance to a specific modality, and of facillitating a safe place to explore and contemplate the implications of how we describe our own world and subsequently meet others in their worlds. An effective supervisor needs to stay aware of the professional and personal development path of the supervisee/therapist, an awareness of parallel process, and a supportive, collegiate balance. I will offer a firm but challenging holding experience for you so that you can offer the same to your clients.
I have an integrative approach to supervision, but broadly follow the Hawkins & Shohet model, including a embodied and relational awareness, one informed by neuroscience, with a systemic and transpersonal understanding. It is also important to embrace our own wounded self as the instrument through which we work, making space for the enactment at the heart of relational therapy, which means tolerating uncertainty, conflict and paradox. While this can be complex, sometimes it is just by opening a space that we facilitate transformational experience.
I can work with you face to face or online. I offer 60 or 90 minute sessions with regular frequency to enable you to meet the requirements of your agency and regulatory body. My practice is at my home near Cefn Coch.
Please get in touch if you would like to meet and explore further.
My fee for supervision is £60 per hour. (£45 for trainees up to level 4)
