About me and my therapy practice

The model of supervision that I offer is based on the Seven Eyed model by Peter Hawkins and Robin Shohet. This model offers supervision from both relational and systemic perspectives by looking at seven different aspects:

  1. Focusing on the clients and exploring what and how they present
  2. Exploring the strategies and interventions used by the therapist when working with the client
  3. Focussing on the relationship between the client and the supervisee
  4. Focussing on the supervisee
  5. Focussing on the supervisory relationship
  6. The supervisor focussing on their own experience
  7. Focusing on the wider context in which the work happens – considering the system the client finds themselves in

In terms of modalities that I work with and have experience of, my own initial training focused on Petruska Clarkson’s Five Relationship Model which incorporates a range of theories though significantly from both the person centred and psychodynamic approaches. Since qualifying I have undertaken further training specialising in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and currently work as a Counsellor in a Secondary Care DBT Team in the NHS working both with individuals and groups. This work is primarily with people who have experienced complex trauma, and before that, five years in a crisis team providing crisis intervention. I also have an interest other models of therapy including Internal Family Systems, the work of Janina Fisher, Somatic interventions and EMDR.

Alongside my NHS work, I also have a thriving private practice and I’m happy to support newly qualified therapists as they begin their journey into private practice and support them to develop this area of their practice, both the exciting opportunities this might provide and also the challenges of working independently.

Please get in touch if you would like to arrange to meet so we can see how we might be able to work together.
