All counsellors and psychotherapists are required to have regular clinical supervision, whether in training or in an established practice. Supervision provides a structured and reflective space to think about clinical work, professional development, and ethical responsibility, while ensuring safe and effective practice.
Alongside this requirement, many therapists come to supervision because the work itself is complex. You may be holding uncertainty, emotional weight, or clinical dilemmas that benefit from being thought about carefully with another practitioner. Supervision offers a place to reflect on client work, your own responses, and the relational dynamics that arise in practice as well as in the supervision space itself.
I offer clinical supervision to qualified counsellors and psychotherapists, as well as students in training, across a range of modalities. My approach is reflective and collaborative, with attention to both clinical material and the wider context in which the work takes place, including issues of identity, difference, power, and intersectionality.
I draw on the Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision and the Integrative Developmental Model, adapting my approach to the stage of development and needs of each supervisee. For trainees, supervision includes support with learning, confidence-building, and meeting training and placement requirements, alongside developing reflective and ethical practice. For more experienced practitioners, supervision offers space to explore complexity, stuckness, and the evolving impact of the work.
I offer individual supervision on a regular or ad-hoc basis, online and in person. I also periodically run small, closed supervision groups; please contact me for current availability.
If you are looking for a supervisory relationship that is thoughtful, containing, and reflective, you are welcome to get in touch to see whether working together would be a good fit.
The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) define clinical supervision as:
“A specialised form of professional mentoring provided for practitioners responsible for undertaking challenging work with people. Supervision is provided to ensure standards, enhance quality, stimulate creativity and support the sustainability and resilience of the work being undertaken”.
I hold a Diploma in Supervision from The Minster Centre which is based on the Integrative Developmental Model and the Seven-Eyed Model.
