Supervision for Counsellors & Therapists

I offer clinical supervision to counsellors and therapists at all stages of practice, from trainees and newly qualified practitioners developing confidence and professional identity, to experienced and colleagues seeking fresh perspectives, thoughtful challenge and greater relational depth.

My approach is relational, pluralistic and depth-oriented. I aim to offer supervision that is both reflective and practical — a collaborative space where you can bring uncertainty, complexity and difficult work without judgement, while also recognising what is going well.

Supervision may include exploring the therapeutic relationship, countertransference and use of self, ethical dilemmas, difficult emotional responses, and questions around meaning, values and professional identity.

I draw flexibly on Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, CBT, TA and Transpersonal approaches and use the Seven-Eyed Model to consider different dimensions of therapeutic work. Where helpful, we may also work creatively or somatically to open up different perspectives.

I bring over 20 years’ counselling experience across the NHS, Relate, private practice, universities and schools. I currently provide reflective supervision to NHS oncology support staff and have previously provided professional supervision through Psychology Associates.

Education is a particular area of experience: I have established school counselling services and worked alongside safeguarding and child protection teams. I equally welcome practitioners from private practice, health and other organisational settings.

I hold an Advanced Diploma in Clinical Supervision (Level 7) and am a BACP Registered and Accredited counsellor.

My Supervision Practice

I see supervision as a relationship in which there is room to think, reflect and be curious together. You are welcome to bring work that feels complex, uncertain or unfinished, as well as the moments when something has gone well and you want to understand why.

I value openness, warmth and appropriate challenge. My intention is to create a space where you can think freely about your clients, your therapeutic relationships and your own responses without feeling that you need to arrive with the answers.

For experienced practitioners, supervision can offer an opportunity to work at greater relational depth, notice subtleties within the therapeutic process and explore aspects of practice that may benefit from a fresh pair of eyes.

For trainees and those earlier in their careers, there is space to develop confidence, professional judgement and your own therapeutic voice.

I offer supervision online throughout the UK and in person from a calm, comfortable and private ground-floor space in Stoke, Plymouth.

If you are considering working with me, I offer a free, informal 30-minute telephone or video conversation. This gives us an opportunity to talk about what you are looking for, ask questions and get a sense of whether we might work well together, with no obligation to continue.

Our First Session

Before beginning supervision, I offer a free, informal 30-minute telephone or video conversation so that we can briefly get to know one another and see whether there is a potential fit.

If we decide to work together, our first full supervision session is charged at my usual rate. This gives us more time to explore what you are looking for from supervision, your practice and client work, professional context, therapeutic approach and any particular areas where you would value support, challenge or development.

We will also agree the practical and professional aspects of working together and establish our supervision contract, including confidentiality and its limits, responsibilities, frequency of supervision and other professional arrangements.

For qualified practitioners, I ask for details of your professional membership or registration and confirmation that appropriate professional indemnity insurance is in place.

For trainees, we will also consider the requirements of your training provider and placement, including any reporting or supervision requirements.

There is no formal assessment to complete. Most importantly, our first session gives us both an opportunity to experience working together and decide whether the supervisory relationship feels right.

From there, supervision is shaped around you, your client work and the context in which you practise.
