I do have some flexibility with Supervision sessions however mainly work hours between 8am-5pm.

I am a BACP Senior Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist, with a Masters in Integrative Counselling Practice and a PG Cert. in Clinical Supervision.  I am an EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner with a keen interest in Trauma Therapy. 

I have over 17 years experience of working as a Clinical Supervisor and I am able to offer in person Supervision, also Supervision online and by telephone.

Within my Private Practice I offer both individual and group supervision. I welcome the opportunity to work with therapists who have different theoretical orientations and have different levels of experience, some who are in training (concessions sometimes available).

I have 22 years counselling/psychotherapy experience working in a broad range of therapeutic settings including the voluntary sector, the NHS, Higher education and also in Private practice.

I strive to provide a Supervisory relationship within which Supervises feel safe and supported in a non-judgemental environment and able to explore all aspects of their work with clients. Within our Supervisory relationship, therapist wellbeing is a priority with time and space to reflect on the impact of client work and other influencing factors.

I believe supervision should be a safe, confidential space to explore work with clients, also to share knowledge, experience and resources.  As a BACP Senior Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist, I adhere closely to the BACP Professional and Ethical Framework to ensure best practice also client and therapist safety and wellbeing.

If you would like to have an initial contact (no fee) to discuss your Supervision needs we can arrange to meet for 20 minutes in person, online or by telephone. 

Availability for appointments:

Tuesday 8.00am - 5pm

If you have experienced trauma, whether it be in childhood or adulthood, I am able to help you work through these experiences, offering different ways of working, tailored to your individual needs. 

I have a long history of working in the NHS as a therapist, also as a Nurse and Midwife in my previous careers. As a therapist I have also worked within University settings and the Voluntary Sector alongside Private Practice. I provide Clinical Supervision for other therapists and have enjoyed teaching and lecturing for counselling courses.

I welcome the opportunity to work with you and for us to explore together how best I can help. In our first session I can make an assessment of your presenting difficulties. We can look at different ways of working and what might best meet your individual needs. Working in a way that feels most comfortable for you is a priority and we can continue to monitor this within our work together.
