Clinical Supervision
I want supervision to feel like a space where you can be yourself, not somewhere you have to present or perform. I know this work can be incredibly rewarding, but I also know how much it can ask of you. Sometimes you need somewhere to slow down after a session that has stayed with you, think through a client or case you can’t quite make sense of, or explore a feeling you’ve been struggling to put into words.
My supervision is human, compassionate and grounded in theory, but flexible enough to make space for you to be you. I work in a supervisee-led way, so what we focus on is guided by what you need. Maybe you need to think through a plan for moving a piece of client work forward, explore a difficult professional decision, talk through safeguarding or risk, think about your career and where you want to go next, or simply understand why a particular client or situation has affected you more than you expected. Supervision can hold all of it.
I’ve been a counsellor for almost ten years, and I completed my Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Supervision in 2025. I also have over 15 years working in mental health and safeguarding roles, including in supervisory and management roles. I bring my experience, alongside my clinical training, into supervision, but I don’t believe supervision needs to feel overcomplicated or prescriptive. Sometimes you need theory and challenge. Sometimes you need perspective, reassurance or someone who really listens. Often, you need a bit of all of these.
Whether you’re a counsellor, or a professional working in mental health, safeguarding, welfare, pastoral care or complex casework, let’s start with a conversation. There’s no pressure to commit. We can talk about what you’re looking for, what you need from supervision and whether I’m the right supervisor for you.

I supervise:
counsellors and psychotherapists
safeguarding leads and officers
welfare and student support roles
professionals working in ISVA, IDVA and related roles
others whose work involves holding complex casework and risk
Alongside this, my counselling practice specialises in fertility, pregnancy, birth, parenthood and women’s issues and I welcome supervisees working within these areas.

Supervision offers a space to step back from the immediacy of practice and think carefully about the work.
You are invited to bring both the work that feels contained and the work that feels more uncertain. Sometimes the focus is not on a specific client but may be about managing the demands of your role, the service and culture you’re working within and the wider context of all of these things.
Our work can include whatever you need to bring on the day, which may include some of the following:
detailed exploration of client or casework
your responses and decision-making
navigating safeguarding, risk and ethical complexity
the organisational and systemic contexts shaping the work
cultural factors and intersectionality

I believe good supervision needs to be supportive, challenging and fulfilling!
You should be able to bring uncertainty, mistakes, difficult feelings and professional dilemmas without worrying that you will be judged for having them. You should be able to leave supervision feeling that you have explored what you needed to.
At the same time, supervision shouldn't simply be a place to feel better about difficult work. Sometimes growth sits alongside challenge, or we need to think about something differently, hone in on blind spots or consider what is driving our work, approaches and responses.
My approach is collaborative, reflective and curious. I draw on the Seven-Eyed Model, with particular attention to relationship, context, culture and the wider systems surrounding the work.
I am a member of the BACP and adhere to their Ethical Framework for Counselling Professionals. I am also happy to supervise practitioners who are members of other ethical and professional bodies.

Let’s start with a conversation! I offer a free, no obligation initial conversation for prospective supervisees to discuss your work, your supervision needs, and whether the fit feels right.
If we decide to work together, we will agree a clear framework for supervision, including frequency and practical arrangements. I am able to offer weekday, evening and weekend sessions for either 60 or 90 minutes depending on your requirements.
