About me and my therapy practice

I have worked as a supervisor for over 25 years. My original supervision training was facilitated by Robin Shohet.

I have a wealth of theory and practice to inform your supervisory experience. I originally trained as a nurse before completing my MA in Counselling Studies followed by my MA in Play Therapy. I have worked in health, education and third sector settings as well as in private practice. My practice is trauma informed and I understand the challenges faced when 'holding' clients with multiple needs.

I can support practitioners who work with children, young people and adults; those who work with individuals, couples, parent-child dyads and families. 

I work with trainee and qualified counsellors, play and creative therapist as well as with school and health care staff.  I supervise individuals and groups. 

In addition to my work as a therapist, I have worked as a university lecturer and community trainer. 

My approach to supervision is to provide a safe, learning experience where exploration, growth and autonomy are encouraged. 

Practice description

My supervisory work is primarily influenced by psychodynamic, relational and person centred thinking. I'm committed to meeting each individual/group in a way that recognises and respects where practitioners are in their professional practice.

I draw on theories/research and my experience in multiple settings to help guide and support the supervisory relationship. 

My first session

Our first supervision session is an opportunity to explore expectations, discuss our supervisory agreement and plan how we will work together. It is an opportunity for you to ask any questions and discuss any concerns you may have about supervision and how it will support you in your practice. 

This session allows us to think about how our theoretical approaches, experience and skills can both support and challenge our work together.
