Clinical Supervision
You already know the theory.
Supervision helps you live it.
It's a space where we can slow down, notice what’s happening for you,
and make sense of your client work.
We can read all the books and attend all the training sessions.
But personal and professional growth happens through relationship.
And that's what I love about supervision.
Who is Supervision for?
If you're a therapist, then supervision is likely to be an established part of your work - and part of your commitment to ethical practice.
But supervision isn’t just for therapists. It’s also for coaches and other helping professionals who hold space for others every day. When we engage in helping work, we hold stories, hope, and sometimes pain every day.
Supervision gives us a place to put some of it down, so that we can stay grounded, reflective, and resilient.
And in another way - supervision is also for your clients.
Good, ethical, relational, supportive supervision will help you in the work that you do each day.
My approach: Attachment-informed Supervision
Our sessions are a reflective, relational space where you can explore your practice and yourself - safely, without judgment. This approach is based on the principles of safety and security that underpin attachment theory.
I draw on established models, including Inskipp & Proctor's functional model and Hawkins & Shohet's supervisory modes, to guide our work. These models provide a helpful structure.
However, as in therapy, these models will never make the sessions feel rigid or formulaic. Supervision needs to be flexible and attuned to your needs.
My priority is making sure you get what you need from each session. That might mean:
-
Exploring a client scenario in depth to gain clarity, confidence, or new strategies
-
Reflecting on your own responses so you understand how your emotions, assumptions, or triggers influence your work
-
Gently uncovering blind spots that may be affecting your practice, helping you work more effectively and ethically
-
Considering how your personal history or current life circumstances impacts your professional work, to maintain resilience and insight
-
Receiving gentle challenge and new perspectives that support growth, decision-making, and professional development
Supervision is a collaborative process — it’s about giving you the space, support, and insight to continue showing up fully for your clients or those you support, while also looking after yourself.
As a practitioner, I work in an Integrative way with my clients and am comfortable working across differing modalities.
I draw on my experience working in counselling agencies, running a private practice, and undergoing the process of applying for professional accreditation.
I am a Lecturer in Counselling, which means I am constantly thinking about new ways to develop and practise skills and understanding of theory.
I have also been a trustee of a charity that runs counselling services and a school governor, giving me a nuanced understanding of dual roles, ethical dilemmas, and safeguarding.
I understand the realities of holding responsibility, navigating complex relationships, and integrating theory into practice.

First Steps
Starting supervision is an important step for your personal and professional development. And it's so important that you feel that you can connect and trust with your supervisor. So that they can support you when you need to feel that sense of safety. And so that they can offer you the challenges that you might need in order to grow.
That's why I offer a free 30-minute chat.
