I work full time in private practice as a therapist and supervisor. I have been working as a therapist for 20 years, originally training at the University of Leeds as an Integrative Therapist. I am an accredited Dynamic Interpersonal Therapist (DIT) and a qualified EMDR practitioner. 

I originally trained as a Supervisor at Leeds Centre for Psychological Development and I offer Supervision sessions to counsellors from trainee level to qualified and experienced.

I developed my practice when I trained as an Advanced DIT Supervisor at The Anna Freud Centre and I offer Supervision sessions to DIT therapists from trainee to qualified and experienced, as well as Supervisors in training and qualified.

As I am an integrative therapist and supervisor, I am not limited to one way of working. I aim to tailor my approach to best meet your needs. If I were to summarise my approach, I would say that I offer supervision from a relational and trauma informed stance. I have extensive experience of working with a range of experience levels and modalities in supervision. 

I enjoy supporting trainees develop their own integration of the knowledge they are absorbing and seeing it flourish in their therapeutic practice. Equally, I enjoy working collaboratively alongside qualified and experienced practitioners and feel able to offer appropriate challenge alongside validation of their work.

As a supervisor, I find it helpful to know about some of your life experiences past and present as this allows us to consider unconscious process that may be activated in your work and relationships with your clients. I will be guided by you in regard to your aspirations for your practice and we can consider together any training and development that may benefit your work.

I offer supervision in a comfortable & confidential space from my office in central Wakefield. It has good public transport links and several car parks close by. I am also happy to work online with supervisees, if this fits with your practice needs. 

I offer a free initial phone call on receipt of your enquiry and if we both decide we would like to consider working together, we will book in an initial session.

In your initial session we will work together to understand you, your training background & your current supervision needs and we can schedule on for monthly or fortnightly sessions as appropriate.

I work Monday to Friday.

March 2026: I currently have space for new clients, mainly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in person or online.

As I am an integrative counsellor I am not limited to one way of working. I believe we are all unique & I will tailor my approach to best meet your needs. I have experience in working with a vast range of issues, both short term, goal focussed or longer term and more in depth. 

I offer therapy in a safe, comfortable & confidential space from my practice in central Wakefield. My approach is primarily to listen and understand your position. I will offer you some challenge when noticing that you feel stuck or when we recognise repeating patterns. We will work together to understand you & your experiences & I will encourage you to consider your choices within this for your future. I approach therapy from a trauma informed perspective and I can help you to process historic or more recent traumatic experiences.

I am a qualified Dynamic Interpersonal Therapist (DIT), which is a brief psychodynamic approach and provides a helpful framework for therapy. DIT can be particularly helpful for us to gain understanding of how our past experiences are impacting on our lives and how we still feel today. 

I am a qualified EMDR practitioner and this helps me to provide safe and effective ways to help you to process traumatic experiences. This can mean moving forward from difficult life experiences without the imprint that can often be left when we experience trauma. 

I trained as a Supervisor at Leeds Centre for Psychological Development and I am able to offer Supervision sessions to counsellors from trainee level to qualified and experienced.

I trained as a Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT) Supervisor at The Anna Freud Centre and I am able to offer Supervision sessions to DIT therapists from trainee to qualified and experienced.

I offer a free initial phone call on receipt of your enquiry and if we both decide we would like to consider working together, we will book in an initial session.

In our first session, I will ask you to tell me about your current situation, some of your previous experiences and what you hoping to gain from therapy. I will  tell you more about how I work and what I would be able to offer you. We will complete this assessment session together, with the aim of working out whether I am the right therapist for you at this time. If we agree that therapy with me will meet your needs and will be beneficial, we will then schedule forwards.
