Clinical Supervision

As a BACP-accredited counsellor, supervisor and lecturer, I offer online clinical supervision to counsellors and psychotherapists working with adults across the UK.

Clinical supervision is a space to reflect on your work when the decisions feel complex, the responsibility feels heavy, or you’re left wondering whether you handled something as well as you could have.

It’s not just about technique or case management, but about the emotional, relational and ethical complexities that arise when you work closely with others.

 

Supervision offers a place where uncertainty is allowed, difficulty can be named, and your thinking can deepen without pressure to perform or appear confident.

 

I offer online clinical supervision for counsellors and psychotherapists working with adults.

 

My approach is attachment-based, relational and reflective, with close attention to how the work affects you as a practitioner.

 

Supervision with me is not about being assessed or judged. It’s a collaborative space where we think together, so you can make grounded, ethical decisions in the therapy room.

How I work as a supervisor

My approach to supervision is attachment-based, relational and reflective.

 

That means I’m interested not only in what you do, but in how you hold your work. We pay attention to the therapeutic relationship, your internal responses, the wider system around the work, and any patterns that may be repeating or becoming stuck.

 

In supervision, attachment often shows up in subtle ways. In moments where certain clients affect you more than others. In feelings of being pulled, overly responsible, uncertain, or unsure of your clinical judgement. In how you relate to risk, authority, endings, boundaries, or your own sense of competence.

 

Rather than treating these experiences as problems to fix, we become curious about them. Often they make sense in the context of the work you’re doing, your wider life, or your own history as a practitioner. Paying attention to these dynamics can offer valuable insight and support clearer decision-making.

 

Working from an attachment perspective also allows for nuance. For example, a boundary being tested may require different responses depending on a client’s attachment patterns. Attachment-informed supervision helps us respond thoughtfully rather than rigidly, holding both safety and growth in mind.

 

Supervision with me is a space where uncertainty is allowed. You don’t need to arrive with polished answers or a clear formulation. I aim to offer a balance of containment and gentle challenge, supporting you to think openly and honestly about your work. I’m actively engaged and will offer reflections, questions and observations where they support your thinking.

 

I work with therapists from a range of modalities, and supervision with me is informed by both theory and lived experience of the realities of therapeutic practice.

What people often bring to supervision

Many therapists come to supervision carrying quiet worries that can feel hard to name.

Concerns about missing risk, not challenging a client when they should, working at the edge of their competence, or feeling unsure whether their work is effective. Decisions made in the moment can stay with you long after a session ends, especially when you’re holding responsibility on your own.

 

In supervision, we slow these moments down. We look carefully at what’s happened, what the realistic risks are, and where anxiety or self-criticism may be amplifying concern. The aim is not to eliminate uncertainty, but to help you feel calmer, clearer and more supported in how you hold it.

 

Over time, supervision can become a secure base. A place where you can take risks in your thinking, reflect more deeply on your practice, and develop confidence in your own clinical voice.

My background

I’m a BACP-accredited counsellor, supervisor and lecturer.

Alongside my private practice, I have worked as a counsellor within agency settings, which has informed my understanding of safeguarding, ethical frameworks, and the realities of working within wider systems. This experience continues to shape how I think about risk, boundaries and responsibility in supervision.

I teach and supervise counsellors with a specialist focus on attachment-based practice, and my work is grounded in a combination of clinical experience, academic training, and reflective practice.

I also contribute to media discussions on mental health, where I aim to communicate psychological ideas clearly, thoughtfully and responsibly. This work has strengthened my ability to hold complexity, nuance and ethical considerations when speaking about therapeutic work, skills that translate directly into my supervision practice.

 

Supervision with me is informed by both theory and lived experience of the emotional, ethical and practical realities of therapeutic work.
