Clinical Supervision with Heart, Depth, and Integrity
Why Choose Me as Your Supervisor?
- I offer online clinical supervision across the UK to trainee counsellors, qualified therapists, and trainee supervisors. Whether you’re just starting out or deeply experienced, supervision with me offers a relational, reflective space to grow, recharge, and deepen your practice.
Therapy can be rewarding, exhausting, confusing—and sometimes even life-changing. I believe supervision should meet you in all those places. It’s not just about oversight or ticking boxes. It’s a space where you can bring the whole of yourself and your work—your questions, doubts, insights, challenges, and triumphs.
As a person-centred, relational, and integrative supervisor, I offer:
- A safe, confidential space to explore your client work in depth
- Warm, respectful presence grounded in experience and curiosity
- A belief in supervision as a collaborative, ethical, and creative relationship
- An invitation to reflect on your development as a practitioner—and as a person
-Support working with shame, trauma, erotic transference and countertransference
My Supervision Approach
I integrate three core models to support your growth:
-Person-Centred Supervision – with emphasis on presence, empathy, congruence, and your personal development
-The Seven-Eyed Model (Hawkins & Shohet) – exploring your work across client, practitioner, relationship, and wider systems
-The Integrated Developmental Model – recognising that your needs shift depending on your level of experience and the stage of your professional journey
In the words of Robin Shohet:
“Supervision is not about getting it right. It’s about creating a space where disturbance can be explored, survived, reflected upon, and learned from.”
Who I Work Best With
I work with counsellors and therapists from across the spectrum of experience and modality. You may resonate with my approach if:
-You're a trainee looking for kind, solid support and learning
-You’re a qualified therapist seeking depth, reflection, and ethical holding
-You're navigating complex clinical issues such as trauma, shame, grief, or erotic transference
- You feel supervision elsewhere has become formulaic or administrative—and you want something more relational and alive
What You Can Expect
Supervision with me is collaborative, responsive, and centred on your needs. You can expect:
- A non-judgemental space to bring your whole self and your client work
- Respectful challenge and honest reflection
- Support for ethical dilemmas and emotional processing
- Exploration of unconscious and relational dynamics
- Teaching and guidance where appropriate
- An evolving relationship that grows with your needs
Working Online
I offer supervision sessions via Zoom, which allows flexibility and consistency for therapists across the UK. Many of my supervisees appreciate the ease of online sessions and the quality of connection we’re able to build.
Free Introductory Meeting
Choosing a supervisor is a deeply personal decision. I offer a free 60-minute video meeting so we can get to know each other and see if we’re the right fit—no pressure, no obligation.
One-Off Supervision Sessions
I also offer one-off supervision sessions for qualified therapists whose regular supervisor is temporarily unavailable due to illness, holidays, or other unforeseen circumstances. These sessions are designed to provide ethical cover, clinical support, and a safe reflective space during transitional or uncertain periods.
Features:
- Available at short notice (subject to availability)
- Online sessions via secure video platform
- Flexible length (60 or 90 minutes)
- Clear contracting for one-off or short-term engagement
- Suitable for therapists from a range of modalities
- Option to receive a written note or brief summary of the session for CPD or professional records
Benefits:
- Maintains your ethical commitment to regular supervision
- Offers clinical support during times when your supervisor is unavailable
- Reduces professional isolation and anxiety during unexpected gaps in support
- Provides a fresh, non-judgemental perspective on client work
- Helps you reflect, regulate, and remain grounded in your practice
If you're facing a temporary gap in your supervision, please feel free to get in touch. I'm happy to offer a supportive and confidential space to help you navigate whatever is arising in your client work.
Supervision Agreement and Ethics
If we decide to work together, we’ll co-create a supervision agreement that outlines our commitments, confidentiality, and how we’ll work in line with the BACP Ethical Framework and Supervision Competence Framework.
I receive regular supervision myself from a qualified BACP supervisor and hold professional liability insurance through Towergate. I also have Enhanced DBS clearance and work according to UK law and BACP ethical standards.
Final Thought
“There is no spiritual being who can be so useful as a good human supervisor.” — John Rowan
I would be honoured to walk alongside you in your professional journey.
