About me and my therapy practice
I work in an integrative way drawing on a range of humanistic theories and Internal Family Systems. My work with you is client centred, compassionate, non-judgemental way and I’m committed to the BACP ethical framework.
I also provide clinical supervision to individuals or groups, as well as working for organisations to support a range of staff development and learning opportunities.
My career began in management, before moving into teaching adults, working with individuals and groups. I became particularly interested in working with people when life circumstances impacted them in ways that left them lost, confused or vulnerable, which led me to training to work in counselling. Since qualifying as a counsellor I have continued to build my experience working with others to support them in finding their own way, when life has become difficult or uncertain. I have worked in a range of organisations, working in roles that have included work in the NHS, Public Sector, Private Practice, Charities and Voluntary Sector.
Whatever our work together, my purpose is to enable you to better understand your current circumstances and support you to manage your life in a more resourceful way, based on what you feel is right for you.

About me and my therapy practice
I am a qualified and experienced Clinical Supervisor, offering private 1:1 and group supervision. As well as offering Supervision for therapists/counsellors in private practice I also supervise other therapists/counsellors and other helping professionals working in School Education, Palliative Care/Hospice Work, the NHS and Universities.
Practice description
Counselling Supervision is a forum that involves giving away, sharing, reflecting and reviewing via a frequent, multi-faceted, collaborative relationship; bringing out the best in those involved, enriching, empowering and making work and life more fulfilling for counsellor, supervisor and client alike, as well as focusing on safeguarding the clients well being.
Supervision necessitates interaction, an alliance, mutuality, co-creativity and collaboration – co-supervising and the ideal of being in relationship.
Supervision aims to be a safe place where supervisees can develop and grow via creative teamwork; a forum in which to share, support and respectfully challenge. Presentation of clinical work will receive formal and informal feedback, with client welfare being central at all times. The space allows for considered reflections on client work and experiences and importantly on any personal issues that may impact on fitness to practise.
The task of Supervision is to support professional learning and development and to monitor and improve performance. Supervision promotes reflective practice with the agenda being the therapy, feelings about that work, together with the reactions, comments and challenges experienced in the supervision. The supervisee and his/her work are central – Supervision is not second hand counselling.
Supervision enables the supervisee to grow in ethical competence and practise so as to give her/his best possible service to clients. It is ultimately a process in which clients are safeguarded and empowered to get the best help possible; something to never lose sight of.
