Welcome to Reflective Insights. I am an Accredited Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor, with an MSc in Psychology, BA (Hons) in Counselling & Psychotherapy, Certified Somatic and EFT Therapist. My approach supports clients to understand and process not only their thoughts and emotions, but also how experiences are held in the body.

Taking the first step toward therapy may feel daunting, but can also be life-changing. I take an integrative approach, drawing on various modalities & psychological perspectives to formulate treatment plans supporting your individual and unique needs developing resilience, and better well-being towards a more fulfilling life. 

I offer a free 15-minute consultation where we can explore and talk through your unique needs and assess whether working together feels like the right fit for you. I currently offer sessions online via Zoom or telephone providing flexible support in a space that feels safe, and accessible.

I offer online Psychotherapy & Clinical supervision sessions to clients across the UK. I have extensive experience working with trauma, sexual abuse (male/female), childhood adverse experiences, anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem and confidence issues, relationship & family issues, grooming, bullying, domestic abuse/violence, addictive behaviours, flashbacks, impact of online pornography, trafficking, maladaptive thoughts & behaviours, self-harm, suicide ideation, attachment related difficulties, flashbacks, post trauma, loss, cultural issues, disordered eating, and take an LGBT stance.

Our first session: a compassionate, client-centred and safe space where you can share your experiences, challenges, and one in which we can collaboratively explore, process and understand your experiences.

Welcome to Reflective Insights. I am an Accredited Psychotherapist with a Masters in Psychology, a qualified Clinical Supervisor, and a Certified EFT & Somatic Therapist. I have over 13 years extensive experience working with issues such as sexual abuse (male/female), childhood sexual abuse (CSA), adult and childhood trauma/adverse experiences, complex trauma, self-harm, self-esteem and confidence challenges, domestic abuse/violence, bullying, anxiety, depression, flashbacks, suicidal ideation, work, family, cultural issues, relationship and attachment difficulties, LGBT affirming, grooming & trafficking, maladaptive thoughts and behaviours, disordered eating, addictive behaviours and impact of online pornography.

I offer a compassionate, client-centred, and evidence-based approach providing a safe space where you feel heard, validated, explore and process your experiences and begin taking positive steps towards a more empowered, and fulfilling life. I work collaboratively to formulate treatment plans to meet your unique, and individual needs.

Your first full session is a gentle introduction to the therapeutic process. We’ll explore what brings you to therapy, your hopes or goals, and any concerns you may have. I’ll ask some questions to help build a picture of your experiences and current challenges, and we’ll begin thinking together about how therapy can support you.

There’s no pressure to share everything at once — we go at a pace that feels safe for you. I aim to create a grounded, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to begin your journey.

I offer a free 15-minute consultation before the first full session to help us decide if we’re a good fit to work together. This is an opportunity to ask questions and get a sense of my approach.

I am currently accepting new supervisees for Clinical Supervision and offer flexible online sessions via Zoom or telephone across the UK. My availability is Monday through to Friday, with session times negotiated to meet individual suitability. Whether you are a qualified or trainee therapist, I am here to provide support and guidance tailored to your professional journey.

Please reach out to discuss potential session times. I offer flexible scheduling to ensure that you receive the support you need while balancing your other commitments.

If I have any planned time off, I will notify you in advance. For any urgent matters, I will ensure that you have alternative resources or contact details.

As a qualified Level 6 Clinical Supervisor and a Level 6 Clinical Supervisor Tutor, I bring a wealth of experience and training to my supervision practice. I utilise a range of clinical supervision models and approaches, drawing from my holistic and integrative background, with a core modality rooted in Humanistic principles. I combine this with an evidence-based approach, ensuring that my work is grounded in research and best practices.

Alongside my Humanistic foundation, I have a Masters in Psychology, I am a certified Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Somatic Practitioner, and I am trained in various other therapeutic modalities including CBT, Solution Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, DBT, Psychodynamic, Gestalt. This allows me to offer tailored, flexible supervision to meet the individual needs of the supervisee, encouraging self-reflection and personal growth in a supportive environment.

With extensive experience working with trauma, sexual abuse, childhood trauma and its impacts, depression, anxiety, self-harm, and more, I have supported clients from diverse backgrounds in organisations, charities, and private practice. I work with a broad range of clients , including adults, teens, and adolescents, allowing me to adapt my approach to suit different age groups and presenting concerns.

I believe that supervision is not just about case discussion but is an opportunity for deeper exploration of the supervisee’s own process, emotional well-being, and professional development. Through our work together, I aim to foster a reflective, safe space where supervisees can gain insights into their practice, enhance their therapeutic skills, adhere to ethical practice and improve their ability to support their own clients.

I offer remote supervision sessions via Zoom or telephone, with flexible scheduling to accommodate your needs. Whether you’re an experienced therapist or in training, my goal is to provide a supportive, reflective environment where you can thrive, grow, and develop as a confident, competent practitioner.

In our first supervision session, I aim to create a supportive and open space where we can establish a strong foundation for our work together. During this initial session, we’ll focus on building rapport, clarifying your supervision goals, and discussing any immediate challenges you may be facing in your practice.

I will ask you to reflect on your current caseload, your areas of professional development, and any specific areas you’d like to explore or receive guidance on. We will also review any professional concerns you might have, and I’ll ensure that we explore the ethical considerations in your practice. This first session allows me to get to know you as a supervisee, so I can tailor future sessions to best support your needs.

Additionally, I may ask you to complete a brief assessment form or provide background information about your therapeutic approach, experience, and areas of focus. This helps me understand your practice better and ensures our work is as effective as possible.

 The first session is an opportunity to discuss our mutual expectations, your learning needs, and the overall structure of our supervision work. It’s important to me that you feel comfortable and confident in our working relationship, so this session is also a space for you to ask questions about my approach to supervision.

I aim to foster an environment where you feel heard and supported, encouraging self-reflection and professional growth. This first session sets the tone for a collaborative and productive supervision relationship
