With over 13 years’ experience as an Integrative Psychotherapist (UKCP Accredited), I offer clinical supervision to therapists, trainees, and professionals working in emotionally demanding roles.

At the heart of my approach is the belief that supervision is a relational process. The supervisory relationship itself becomes a space where we can think together about your work, your clients, and your responses—both spoken and unspoken. I see supervision as a collaborative, two-way process grounded in curiosity, mutual enquiry, and respect, where both voices are valued.

I aim to create a warm, thoughtful, and non-judgemental space where you feel safe enough to reflect openly—not only on your clinical work, but also on how the work impacts you. By paying attention to what emerges between us, we can begin to better understand relational dynamics, unconscious processes, and how these may be mirrored in your work with clients.

My practice is integrative and trauma-informed, drawing primarily on Psychodynamic and Transactional Analysis perspectives. I have a particular interest in developmental and complex trauma, especially within the looked-after community. I am EMDR trained and bring a strong grounding in therapeutic parenting, which informs my understanding of attachment, regulation, and relational patterns.

Supervision with me is not only about developing skills, but also about supporting you as a practitioner. This might include:

  • Exploring relational processes and patterns within your client work

  • Reflecting on emotional responses and unconscious dynamics

  • Developing your confidence and therapeutic identity

  • Integrating theory with lived clinical experience

  • Attending to self-care, resilience, and sustainability in your work

 

For trainees, I offer a supportive space where it is safe to not know, to ask questions, and to learn through experience. For more experienced practitioners, supervision can offer a deeper reflective space to continue growing, thinking, and evolving your practice.

I also offer supervision of supervision and reflective consultation for professionals such as social workers and school staff.

Alongside my professional experience, I bring my perspective as an adoptive parent, which deepens my understanding of complex family dynamics, attachment, and developmental trauma.

My intention is to offer a space where you feel met, supported, and thoughtfully challenged—where we can make sense of your work together, and where your development as a practitioner can continue to unfold.
