I have space for online and in person individual supervision at the moment. 

I am also available for in person group supervision. 

I offer individual and group supervision to counsellors, psychotherapists, and trainees.

My approach is relational and phenomenological. Together we slow down and attend to what is present in your client work: what we notice, what we feel, and what happens in the contact between you and your client, and between you and me. From there, you are encouraged to explore your own style of working with curiosity and awareness.

I pay attention to the wider field in which the work happens: culture, power, privilege, identity and difference, and how these show up in the room between you and your client, and between you and me.

I can support trainees to gain the experience they need to complete their training hours and to develop a private practice of their own. Having gained BACP Accreditation, I can also support you through that process.

I am currently completing the Diploma in Supervision at the Gestalt Centre London.

I am a BACP accredited Gestalt Counsellor and Transpersonal Couples Psychotherapist with over 12 years of private practice experience.

I enjoy helping counsellors and therapists find their own style of working and think about how best to support their clients, paying close attention to the relationship at the heart of the work.

I use experimental approaches to explore strategies and interventions as well as encouraging the cultivation of present moment awareness in the work. 

I offer a free 15 minute Zoom or phone call to check if we are suited to working together and to arrange the best day and time.

I usually work fortnightly with supervisees but this can be flexible depending on the size of the client group that you are working with. 

In person session available on Tuesdays  at https://maps.app.goo.gl/rukRKm8ZtWys9nhD9?g_st=ic 

Online sessions available Wednesday to Friday on Zoom. 

I am a Gestalt counsellor and transpersonal couples psychotherapist with an expertise in working with people with unhelpful coping strategies across the spectrum from habit to dependency or addiction.  

If you have experienced trauma, or have had a loss or major change in your life, it affects your ability to live a happy and useful life. I support individuals to work through these challenges to better understand themselves, improving their resilience and find a way to let go of what no longer serves them. 

I offer a safe and welcoming space without judgement where you can arrive as you are and allow yourself to connect with the feelings and thoughts that might be difficult for you to discuss or experience alone or in your existing relationships. 

I also work with couples who are struggling to resolve their differences on their own, sometimes as a result of infidelity, perceived betrayal or lack of trust. I provide a safe and neutral space for the issues in the relationship to be explored and worked through together. 

Over the years I have worked with people from different cultures, faiths, ages, genders, sexual orientations and stages of life and I enjoy that diversity in my practice. I also have experience of working with clients with mental health diagnoses and neurodivergent people. 

I am currently working in person in a therapy room in E1 in East London. I also offer online sessions on Zoom. 

Sessions are usually weekly and last 50 minutes. I work both short-term with a specific focus and longer-term where there is more to explore. This is something we would agree on together based on what you need and this can change during our work together. 

Some clients enjoy a more open exploratory approach while others need a bit more structure. We shape the work around what works best for you and can adapt and change this as we progress. 

I use somatic and mindfulness based approaches when appropriate, so we don't just talk about what you are feeling but use present moment awareness to pay attention to how it shows up in the body, allowing you to experience and process it.

I try to be as flexible as possible with my clients, allowing sessions to be moved when necessary and ask for 48 hours notice of any cancellations. 

I offer a free 15 minute Zoom or phone call to check if we are a good fit and to arrange the best day and time to meet.

After that, the first session usually involves some questions so I can get to know you and understand why you are coming to therapy and most importantly what you want to get out of it. 

Once we agree how we are going to work together, I will give you a therapeutic agreement which outlines my holiday and cancellation policy and how and when we will end the therapy.
