About me and my therapy practice

Sharing practice is one of the joys of gaining in maturity and experience - I feel that digesting all aspects of the work is vital. Each feeling and thought occurs for a reason and adds something that will keep the work interesting and alive. For this reason, enabling supervisees to feel safe enough to bring anything into the supervision space is what I value the most. Digesting and understanding the client work together can feel extremely rewarding.

I am an experienced practitioner with over 20 years experience of working with children, young people and families in various settings, including schools. I qualified as a psychotherapist/ counsellor (CYP) 10 years ago and have been a clinical supervisor for 3 years. I have a huge amount of knowledge to share as a practitioner - I specialize in work with under 25s but now work with all ages and clients from all walks of life. I also offer family and couples work.

For many years, I was employed for a busy South London mental health service (CYP) and for the last 2 years I have been working in full-time private practice. Among my experiences are many years of multi-agency work (social care, CAMHS, schools, GP practices). I have a keen interest in systemic work and understanding the client work in context - I worked as part of a reflecting team (systemic family work) for 2 years. In addition, I have many years of work with complex and risk cases - 3 years experience of triaging with CAMHS. 

Practice description

I believe I am an easy going practitioner/ supervisor who will work alongside you to get the best out of your practice. I would say that, as a person, I am methodical and thorough, paying attention to detail is often where the deeper understanding lies. I have a keen interest in the conscious and unconscious aspects of the work - and exploring the relational aspects of the issues. Although my core training is in psychodynamic psychotherapy with children and adolescents, as with any practitioner, I have grown in my work over many years - other trainings have added skills but also enabled different perspectives. 

As a person I am flexible and always mindful of the 'not knowing' part of the work that helps us feel curious, interested and ready to learn more. I would say that the 7 eyed model would be my preferred mode for supervision - as it complements my beliefs that supervision should consider understanding of the work from many different angles. 

My first session

My first session with you will be about clarification - where you feel you are at, what you feel you need and what I can, as your supervisor, bring to the table to support you and to hold you in your work with the clients.  

I may use a contract for the both of us to get clarity - we will come back to this at regular intervals to ensure that you are getting the most out of the supervision and that I am providing what you need.
