*** FREE INITIAL DISCOVERY CALL***

I offer a free 20 minute discovery call via zoom or by phone for us to connect and discuss your supervision needs.    

MY APPROACH

I see supervision as a space for connection, compassion, reflection and growth, a place where we can meet to generate a shared understanding, and awareness of your clinical practice.  Working in the fields of both psychotherapy and Yoga therapy, I endeavour to bring a richness of experience and knowledge to the supervisory relationship.   My approach is highly relational, collaborative and trans-cultural.  

Through the exploration of transference and counter-transference, somatic and energetic experience and present moment awareness, I believe that supervision can help to enrich and enhance the work we are engaged in with our clients and supervisees.

I draw upon a wide variety of counselling theories to inform my practice including psychodynamic, attachment theory, existentialism, humanistic, transpersonal and social constructivism.   

MY EXPERIENCE

I have over 25 years experience as a psychotherapist, supervisor and somatic therapist working within private practice, psychiatric/ forensic settings, the third sector and community clinics.  Specialist areas of work include anxiety, trauma, attachment, loss, spirituality and self actualisation.   I work with a variety of clients and supervisees including those from a global majority background.  I am also a fully registered Yoga therapist, specialising in mental health and wellbeing. 

Much of my organisational work has taken place in a number of women's mental health agencies focusing on violence against women and girls.  Alongside my private practice,  I currently provide group and one to one supervision for the following agencies:  

London Black Women's Project

Women and Girls Network

Macmillan Cancer Support

I am accredited with BACP and registered with the International Association of Yoga Therapy.   

I welcome supervisees from diverse backgrounds practising in a variety of settings and informed by different modalities.   I work with both individuals and groups and my supervisees include qualified and trainee counsellors, psychotherapists, Yoga therapists and Yoga teachers. I also work with others in the helping professions such as advocates and helpline workers.   

I believe that good supervision promotes the wellbeing and safeguarding of clients along with attending to your professional and developmental needs. I aim to provide support, encouragement, guidance and resources to you whilst addressing an array of your clients' psychological, interpersonal, physical and spiritual issues.     

At the heart of my practice lies a profound and genuine interest in fostering quality relationships with ourselves and with others that allows for honesty, openness, fearlessness and enhanced communication.  Whilst my work is highly informed by psychodynamic and attachment theory and supported by the Seven Eyed model of supervision, I draw upon a number of other Western models of the psyche, Eastern philosophies of mind and neuroscientific research. This allows me to adopt an approach that combines traditional modes of talking therapy with somatic practices along with both modern and ancient wisdom.  

MY FEE STRUCTURE

Fees range from £75-£85 per 50 minute session.
