About me and my therapy practice

I supervise professionals working with children and young people.

I work psychodynamically and using reflective practice to help supervisees think about unconscious processes, organisational dynamics, safeguarding, best practice and ideas and strategies. I work with individuals practising therapy who would like a psychodynamic viewpoint; with school staff who are working therapeutically or have a therapeutic element to their work; with therapists in honorary or voluntary placements; with students undertaking  psychodynamic therapy training. 

Practice description

With 8+ years therapeutic experience in schools,  I am well placed to supervise therapists who work in this challenging environment. I am Assistant Clinical Manager at the Bridge in Schools in Bristol,  supervising other Child Therapists in my team who are working in schools. I am a Child Therapist within a school myself, very aware of the difficulties and stresses the role can bring. I have worked in Social Care and the NHS as a therapist, and can bring my knowledge of working in statutory and healthcare settings to my supervision practice. I run a diploma course on working with children and young people in educational settings. Supervision with me can be a place to bring individual cases for consideration, where we can think about the psychodynamic processes at play, and generate ideas together. It is also a place to consider the impact of the environment the work takes place in, and what organisational dynamics might be at play. The session can also be place to think more broadly about the organisation you work in, and what impact this has on your therapeutic work. It can be a place to bring specific safeguarding issues to be thought about, with the shared understanding that safeguarding procedures within your place of work will need to be adhered to.If you are a studying to be a psychodynamic therapist working with children and young people, I can offer supervision for your placement that can link the theory with your practice; a containing and safe space to explore the challenges of beginning this kind of training and work, and an active thinking space where we can build on ideas together. The supervisory relationship is an opportunity to make use of a psychodynamically trained mind to work through issues together. I consider the relationship between myself and my supervisee as an important and exciting space to generate and hone psychodynamic practice, provide containment and professional boundaries, and link theory to practice. 

My first session

What you bring to supervision is up to you. It may be an organisational issue, a piece of individual work or thinking more broadly about a number of issues. 

In our first session,  I will go through issues around confidentiality, safeguarding time and payment, and between us we can then make a working agreement. This will outline what we have discussed, the frequency of meetings, how to pay, missed sessions etc. 

This will be a space for you to ask me questions and to find out whether we are the right 'fit' for working together.
