I offer integrative relational supervision to trainee counsellors and qualified practitioners; I aim to provide you with a supportive space where you can reflect on your work and enhance your development.
I have been practising as a supervisor for 13 years and I am a BACP Accredited supervisor and a UKCP registered supervisor.
I offer you a supportive environment to discuss and reflect on your practice, promoting self-awareness in your work. Together we can identify areas you do well and any areas needing further development. You can discuss any issues that affect your practice (both personally or professionally) to help us consider any support you might need. I provide a confidential environment to discuss any ethical dilemmas and ensure that you are working within professional guidelines.

I offer both individual and group supervision and follow the supervision model set out by Inskipp and Proctor:
Normative - ensuring that you are working within professional guidelines and the opportunity to discuss ethical dilemmas.
Formative - reflective practice aiming to better understand processes and ways of working. Exploring various aspects of your work and reviewing things that work well and areas that need further development/training.
Restorative - I provide a supportive space promoting self-awareness so that you can learn to recognise your own needs and attend to them. A place to discuss issues both personal and professional that impinge on your practice.
