About me and my therapy practice

I am a qualified Supervisor (Post Grad Diploma Supervision), a Senior Accredited Counsellor, and UKCP Registered Psychotherapist. Further details about my qualifications are available on my website. I offer supervision to trainee / qualified psychotherapists and counsellors, as well as to people from caring professions such as social workers, healthcare practitioners, education providers and support workers etc.

As a supervisor I am informed by my experience of working therapeutically in a variety of settings including in education, NHS healthcare, in community counselling services, a university counselling service and also in private practice. In an educational capacity I have taught and supervised postgraduates, including counselling and psychotherapy trainees, at universities in Liverpool and Warwick. 

My Approach

I believe supervision is a place for reflection and curiosity in order to non-defensively explore current practice. I think it’s also important to provide a supportive and challenging focus to promote development, awareness and understanding of the complexities of the work undertaken.

The level of supervision you require will depend on your caseload and experience. You may need to check the ethical requirement of your professional body to ensure you have the correct client:supervision ratio

Practice description

I have a consulting room in Oxton, Wirral. My practice is on the first floor of the building.

I am committed to anti-oppressive and anti-discriminatory practice, and I adhere to the Ethical Codes of Professional Practice of BACP, UKCP and GPTI.

I welcome diversity, working with those who are from different backgrounds and cultures to my own. I am a committed ally to the LGBTQI+ community, and to All Black Lives Matter.

My first session

I work in person as well as continuing to offer remote/online appointments for supervisees where this is more appropriate or preferable.

If you are interested in supervision, ring, text or email me so that we can talk through your needs/preferences and make a plan for a first session.

If after this first session we both agree that we will work together then you will be charged for the session, if not no payment is necessary.
