About me and my therapy practice
I have been a senior Accredited BACP supervisor for several years and have been in practice for 25 years.
I am the founder and director of a school counselling service Space4u School Counselling Ltd covering several schools and employing 12 therapists. I supervise remotely, several school counsellors working in schools across the UK.
Previous roles have included the counselling clinical lead for a cancer charity. I was the primary supervisor at Rape Crisis in Leicester and had a rehab centre.
My private practice includes the supervision of many therapists some recently starting up private practices offer more senior and I offer supervision consultation for their supervision practice.
Practice description
My theoretical background is based on Humanist principles and I work pluralistically. I encourage working creatively with clients and within supervision. The supervision model I use is the seven-eyed supervisor model. There is a reflection on the content, relationship process and strategies employed. I focus on the here and now as a mirror or parallel of the here and then process.

Practice description
My foundation is based on the humanist ideas of creating a safe and trusting space for clients to open. I offer warmth and validation to those who work with me.
Before we meet a free call is arranged to discuss your needs and any questions before an initial meeting is agreed . During the initial session together a therapeutic plan will set out what you wish to get from the sessions and goals/outcomes can be negotiated. I can offer short-term contracts 4-8 sessions or we extend this for several months depending on what is being worked through.
