If you are considering supervision, you are welcome to contact me by email or phone to arrange an initial conversation to explore availability, fit, and what you are seeking at this stage of your practice.

I am an Integrative Counsellor and Supervisor with over 20 years’ experience in practice. Alongside my private work, I teach counselling and facilitate developmental supervision groups.

In private practice, I offer online supervision within a thoughtful, ethically grounded and collaborative space. My approach supports both clinical rigour and personal development, recognising that effective client work is shaped by the practitioner’s self-awareness, context and professional responsibility.

I integrate Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, CBT and Transpersonal perspectives, drawing on them in a way that strengthens reflective practice rather than prescribing technique.

Supervision with me provides space to explore casework, ethical considerations, relational dynamics and your evolving professional identity.

I offer a 15-minute introductory consultation at £30, or a 30-minute taster session at £45. These provide an opportunity to explore expectations and working compatibility before committing to ongoing supervision.

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.

Supervision sessions are offered online and are available in 60-minute or 90-minute formats. Sessions take place on the same day and time, either fortnightly or monthly, to support consistency and continuity of work.

A supervision agreement will be provided and completed prior to commencing supervision.

Supervisory Approach

Supervision sessions are exploratory, supportive and developmental in focus. The space encourages reflective dialogue, ethical consideration and thoughtful challenge, along with attention to your ongoing personal and professional development.

The first session includes a welcome and clarification of any practical or contractual arrangements discussed during the introductory or taster consultation.

From there, supervision is guided by your current caseload and professional focus, allowing space for reflective exploration, ethical consideration and developmental dialogue.

If you would like to arrange an initial consultation, you are welcome to contact me by email or phone to discuss availability.

I am an Integrative Counsellor and Supervisor with over 20 years’ experience in practice. Alongside my private work, I teach counselling and facilitate reflective supervision groups.

I offer online counselling and supervision within a calm, reflective and collaborative space. My approach is relational and non-pathologising. I hold in mind how personal history, relationships and wider social narratives shape our responses, while recognising that no one is defined by a diagnosis, role or label alone. Our work focuses on meaning, context and choice.

I integrate Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, CBT and Transpersonal approaches in a way that is responsive rather than prescriptive.

Beginning therapy can feel like a significant step. I offer a 25-minute initial consultation at £40. This provides space to explore what is bringing you to therapy and to experience how we might work together, without pressure or obligation. Therapy can be taken one considered step at a time.

If this resonates, you are welcome to get in touch.

Individual counselling sessions are 50 minutes in duration and take place weekly on the same day and time. This consistency supports continuity and depth of work.

Before beginning, a therapeutic agreement will be emailed to you and completed prior to the first session.

50-minute Counselling Session – £80

50-minute Concessionary Session – £60

90-minute Single Therapy Session – £120

Payment is required 24 hours prior to each session.

How We Work:

The counselling space is collaborative and paced with care. You are invited to bring your experience as you are, without needing to have the right words or full clarity.

Sessions are not a race. We work at a rhythm that supports reflection, insight and sustainable change. Therapy is a process of considered steps, taken in a way that respects your capacity and your lived reality.

Even when the path feels uncertain, meaningful change begins with allowing yourself to start.

The first session includes a welcome, time to review and clarify our therapeutic agreement, and completion of any initial forms (including CORE measures), which will be explained clearly.

From there, we begin the counselling process at a pace that feels manageable, allowing space to explore what has brought you to therapy and what you hope for from our work together.
