I AM CURRENTLY OFFERING SUPERVISION FREE OF CHARGE WHILST I COMPLETE MY TRAINING

I work online and have access to rooms in Helmsley and SW London.

About me and my therapy practice

My approach to supervision is collaborative and relational. It is anchored in the Relational Matrix Model which emphasises the relational realms that lie between supervisor, supervisee and client.

I have a post-graduate Diploma in Counselling from York St John University and a Diploma in Professional Development from the Gestalt Institute, London. I am currently completing a Diploma in Counselling at Relational Change (SW London).

My theoretical orientation is humanistic but is influenced by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment Theory, Neuroscience and Transational Analysis.

I have worked in a GP practice and a low-cost counselling centre and have been working in private practice since 2020. I am also influenced by my 20+ year pervious career as a speech and language therapist, which included a specialist role working with adults experiencing anxiety in speaking situations and supervising students and peers, as well as my lived experience of nearly six decades.

Practice description

Gaie Houston describes supervision as 'policing, plumbing and poetry'. For me, this beautifully encapsulates the duties responsibilities and tasks of supervision; the opportunity that it brings to provide an open, caring and supportive space where supervisees can reflect on their work with their clients; and the artistry by which theory and practice, knowledge and skills, humility and wonder, are interwoven in a shared learning relationship.

Since many of the processes that emerge in supervision reflect those present in the therapeutic relationship, it is my belief that staying with what emerges for you and for me in the 'here and now' as we work can bring insight and clarity to concerns that you might be having, as well as to feelings and bodily sensations that may be in your awareness but that have't quite found a voice.

I work online as well as in person in Helmsley and SW London. I am registered with the BACP but am following a UKCP accredited supervision training. I receive supervision for my own supervision work as required by both professional bodies.
