Supervision is a collaborative and supportive space to pause and bring curiosity to your counselling practice and way of being as a counsellor. I work both in private practice and an NHS-commissioned counselling service, and I understand the very different demands and contexts counsellors navigate day to day. 

“We can choose the lens we look through but the context of supervision offers us the space to inquire into the way how we are looking.” Robin Shohet - In Love with Supervision

I bring a contemporary person-centred integrative perspective to my practice and look forward to working with counsellors and psychotherapists who are curious about the common ground between person-centred experiential counselling and psychodynamic, phenomenological and relational approaches. 

I have completed the Certificate in Supervision of Person-Centred Experiential Counselling for Depression (PCE-CfD) at Metanoia Institute and also trained with Joan Wilmot and Robin Shohet at the Centre for Supervision and Team Development London. 

How I offer supervision

I work with individuals and groups, in person in NW5 or SE15, and online.

Fees

Fees for supervision start at £70 per hour for individual supervision and ​£100 per hour for group supervision (max. group size 4 counsellors).

Please email to enquire about current availability.

Session fees range from £80 to £90  depending on time and location. I see clients on a weekly basis.

All sessions are 50 minutes long and cancellation policies are in place. 

It’s not always easy to go it alone, and counselling can be a space to reflect on what you're experiencing with a person who is not part of your everyday life. 

Whether you are looking to reflect on how your life has shaped you or work through difficult memories that feel too painful or overwhelming, I offer a confidential space grounded in compassion, honesty and acceptance where you can talk openly and feel truly heard.

​Counselling can be short-term, focusing on something immediate, like a bereavement or unexpected life event, or longer term creating a space for a deeper exploration of what's troubling you.

How do we start?

Our first one or two sessions are a chance for you to share what's brought you to counselling, and for us both to get a sense of what working together might feel like. If we decide to go ahead, we'd meet weekly.

Feel free to visit my website, and if you have any questions or want to check availability, don't hesitate to get in touch.

I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Counselling and bring a person-centred integrative lens to my work. I also completed training in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling for Depression (PCE-CfD), a NICE-guideline approved treatment approach.  

I work in private practice and an NHS-commissioned counselling service. My previous experience includes working in community services and a drug and substance misuse agency. 

As a supervisor I support counsellors in private practice, counsellors in placements and PCE-CfD practitioners in NHS Talking Therapies. 

I’m bilingual and offer counselling in both English and German. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to its ethical guidelines.

I offer a 15-minute phone consultation as an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have, speak about availability and get a first feel of what it might be like to work with me.

There is no pressure to commit at this stage and you can decide during or after the phone consultation if you would like to make a first appointment.
