About me and my therapy practice
I am an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist accredited since 2012. I undertook a diploma in providing clinical supervision about 5 years previous and have provided clinical supervision to a variety of trainees from differing modalities.
I have a range of experience with differing modalities because I have undertaken a wide range of continued professional development courses and workshops as well as extensive life experience working for the NHS in IAPT services and other settings. I have worked as a therapist myself in the following work environments which might assist you in deciding if I would be a suitable supervisor for your work: Young People/Drug and Alcohol Services/NHS-IAPT teams for G.A.D's and Depression/Infertility and Donor conception treatment - I am BICA accredited since 2017.
Practice description
I am happy for a fee to help with BACP accreditation process.
We would sign a working alliance agreement to understand the boundaries of our work together and create a secure setting for your professional development.
I normally provide other resources to assist your professional development whether that is reading or sharing of information that would be of benefit to your practice.
If there is a safeguarding issue I will encourage you to contact me outside of our allotted sessions.
My first session
I am happy for a 15 minute call or video call so that you can assess if you feel comfortable speaking to me as your Supervisor.
It is very important that you feel comfortable and confident and that you can be open and honest with me about how you work and the support that you need.
It might also be helpful to consider what you might expect from your supervisor so that we can talk that through and see if we would be a good match.

I work Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons/evenings with my last appointment at 6pm. So from 1pm - 6pm x3 days a week in my private practice. This is because I work in clinic settings at other times.
About me and my therapy practice
I am an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist and have been accredited by the BACP since 2012. I have also been accredited by BICA (www.bica.net) since 2017. Additionally I provide Life Coaching and also have a Diploma in providing Clinical Supervision to other therapists.
Having worked in a number of different settings such as for the NHS/ IAPT as well as drug and alcohol rehabilitation services - I have added other modalities to my knowledge base such as CBT and DBT and incorporate these into my private practice for clients when there is a need - or it would help their progress.
I am very knowledgeable in my specialist training as a fertility counsellor and have worked in a number of different fertility clinics over the years and at present work for The Lister Fertility Clinic 1.5 days in Chelsea London. I am qualified to provide Implications Counselling for those going through donor conception treatment and can provide relevant reports that meet HFEA requirements.
Practice description
In my practice I am happy to have an initial phone call or video call for 15minutes for you to ask me any questions and for you to get an idea if I would be a therapist you would feel comfortable opening up to. It is very important that you can say anything wish to disclose and that you will feel comfortable and feel safe within the therapeutic relationship.
My first session
In our first session we will establish your reasons for therapy and look at your expectations. Normally in a first session if you have waited a long time to be able to talk to someone confidentially it might be important to just be heard. At the end of the session I may briefly summarise what we have covered and clarify with you what you hope to gain from coming for this support. I will ask you to fill out a form giving me your contact information and that of your GP for safeguarding reasons. I will also take time after the first session to assess what might be the best way of working together and what might be most helpful to you. Any information I hold will of course be held confidentially as required by law. After 6 sessions it would be normal for us to review your progress.
When I am working with couples then it might mean there are tasks between sessions and even when working with individuals I may provide resources or reading to support your therapy work.
With both couples and individuals we would jointly sign a working alliance agreement around the boundaries of the therapy. In my experience this provides a firm foundation and helps to avoid any misunderstandings as you make progress in your therapeutic treatment.
