I currently have spaces available for online supervision. I aim to be flexible and will do my best to accommodate your availability, helping to fit supervision around your own clients and working hours.

If you are looking for a supportive and reflective space for your supervision, please feel free to get in touch to discuss your needs and availability.

I OFFER REDUCE RATES FOR STUDENTS 

I am a qualified accredited counsellor and supervisor, and I believe that both counselling and supervision are built around creating a safe, supportive and trusting relationship.

My approach to supervision is warm, collaborative and reflective. I see supervision as a space where you can bring your work openly and honestly, without fear of judgement. Whether you are bringing a challenging client, exploring something that has stayed with you, thinking about an ethical dilemma, or simply wanting space to reflect on your practice, I believe there should be room to explore this together.

I aim to create a supervision relationship where you feel supported, whilst also being gently challenged to think more deeply about your work. I believe that good supervision can help us develop not only professionally, but also personally, building confidence, self-awareness and resilience in our work as therapists.

I offer a warm, supportive and reflective approach to supervision, providing a safe space for counsellors and psychotherapists to explore their client work, professional practice and ongoing development.

I understand that counselling can sometimes involve complex and challenging work, and I aim to provide a space where you can bring these experiences openly and honestly. I am particularly experienced in working with complex trauma and the impact this can have on both clients and practitioners.

I have also worked as a Safeguarding Lead for many years, giving me extensive experience in safeguarding, risk assessment and supporting practitioners to navigate complex safeguarding concerns. I understand that safeguarding situations can sometimes feel difficult to navigate, and I can offer a calm and thoughtful space to consider concerns, professional responsibilities, boundaries and appropriate next steps.

My supervision is collaborative and tailored to the individual. I believe supervision should provide both support and constructive challenge, helping you to develop confidence, self-awareness and clarity in your practice.

I welcome the opportunity to work with counsellors at different stages of their professional journey. Whether you are bringing a particularly challenging piece of client work, an ethical or safeguarding concern, something that has stayed with you, or simply need space to reflect, I will work alongside you to explore what is happening and what you may need.

My aim is for supervision to be a place where you can pause, think and reflect, whilst feeling supported in the important work that you do.

I offer a free 30-minute initial session so that we can meet, talk about your supervision needs and discuss what you are looking for from a supervisor.

This gives us an opportunity to get to know one another, explore how I work and answer any questions you may have. Most importantly, it gives us both the chance to see whether we feel we would be a good fit to work together.

There is no obligation to continue following this initial conversation. I believe that finding the right supervisory relationship is important, and I want you to feel comfortable and confident in your choice of supervisor.

I currently offer counselling sessions online, providing a flexible and accessible way for clients to access support from the comfort and privacy of their own space.

I offer a range of appointment times and aim to work collaboratively with clients to find a time that fits around their individual circumstances and commitments. Sessions are available during weekdays, with some flexibility around appointment times where possible.

If you are considering starting counselling and would like to explore whether we could work together, please feel welcome to get in touch. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have and discuss arranging an initial session.

I am an integrative accredited counsellor with many years’ experience, offering a warm, compassionate, and confidential space where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted. My work is grounded in psychodynamic therapy, which means we may explore how past experiences, relationships, and life events can shape the way we see ourselves, relate to others, and respond to the world around us.

As an integrative therapist, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches to ensure our work is tailored to your individual needs. I believe that each person’s journey is unique, and I work collaboratively with you at a pace that feels safe and manageable. My approach is trauma-informed, with particular experience in supporting people affected by complex trauma and the lasting impact this can have on emotions, relationships, self-worth, and everyday life.

I see the therapeutic relationship as central to the counselling process. Creating a trusting, respectful, and non-judgemental space allows us to explore difficult experiences with compassion and understanding. My aim is to support you in developing greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and a deeper understanding of yourself, helping you to move towards meaningful and lasting change.

My practice provides a safe, confidential, and supportive space where you can take time to focus on yourself and explore the challenges you may be facing. I understand that beginning counselling can feel daunting, so I aim to make the process feel as welcoming and comfortable as possible from our first contact.

I offer online counselling sessions, providing flexibility and accessibility while allowing you to access support from a place where you feel comfortable and secure. Sessions are tailored to you, giving you the time and space to explore your experiences, thoughts, and feelings at your own pace.

I work with adults experiencing a range of difficulties, including anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, and the effects of difficult or traumatic experiences. I have particular experience supporting clients who have experienced complex trauma and understand the importance of working in a way that prioritises safety, trust, and compassion.

My hope is that our work together provides a space where you feel truly listened to and valued. Through developing a trusting therapeutic relationship, we can explore what has brought you to counselling and work towards greater understanding, healing, and positive change.

I offer a free 30-minute initial consultation to provide an opportunity for us to meet, talk through what has brought you to counselling, and answer any questions you may have before deciding whether we would like to work together.

I understand that choosing a counsellor is an important decision, and I believe that feeling comfortable, safe, and understood is essential from the beginning. The therapeutic relationship is at the heart of the work we do, and it is important that you feel the counsellor you choose is the right fit for you.

During the consultation, we can discuss what you are looking for from therapy, how I work, and any practical questions you may have about the counselling process. It is also a chance for you to get a sense of whether you feel comfortable and supported with me.

If we decide to continue working together, our first full session will allow us to begin exploring your experiences in more depth, identify what you would like support with, and start building a trusting therapeutic relationship. We will work at a pace that feels safe and appropriate for you, with compassion, respect, and understanding. I believe that counselling should be accessible and that finances should not always be a barrier to seeking support. I offer concessionary rates for those who may be experiencing financial hardship, and I welcome an open conversation about how we may be able to make therapy more accessible.
