I offer supervision sessions in person at my office in the centre of Carlisle, or online by video call.  I am currently offering sessions Monday to Thursday 9am-7:15pm and Friday 9am-4pm

I have around 10 years experience of working with trauma and complex trauma and 3 years experience as a Supervisor.  My specialism has been in working with those affected by Sexual Violence and Domestic Abuse and naturally this has aided me in gaining experience in working with addiction, grief and loss, suicidal intent and self harm and other complex mental health issues.  I am also a qualified ISVA and provide supervision in this area of work.  I currently provide clinical supervision for two charities and many independent practitioners from different backgrounds; both qualified and in training.

I pride myself on providing a warm and non judgmental space and relationship, enriched with humour, where my supervisees can feel heard, understood, prized and where necessary guided.

My primary approach to Supervision, as in therapy, is Person Centered.  I use the "seven eyed model" of supervision and also utilise Internal Family Systems, finding it helpful in bringing insight to the therapist/client dynamics as well as processing countertransferance, which can very much aid the depth of work between supervisee and their client. Where desired by the supervisee, i also love to work creatively using sketches, painting or chair work to explore relational dynamics and client material.  Together with a foundation of person centred training, i am also trained in Internal Family Systems (L 1), Brainspotting (L 1&2) and Deep Brain Reorienting (L1&2) though do not offer consultation in these specific modalities.

I offer a free 30 min video call to discuss working together, then typically complete an intake form which explores placement (if you're a student) organisation detail, professional membership/insurance and contact details. We then contract to meet monthly or fortnightly.
