Clinical Supervision

You spend your days holding space for others.

Supervision is the space that holds you.

It’s where you can pause, think, feel, and make sense of your client work - not just in theory, but in the lived reality of being with real people and real emotions.

 

It’s a space to understand what’s happening for your clients, and what’s happening inside you as you work.

Who is Supervision for?

Supervision is an essential part of ethical practice for counsellors and psychotherapists — whether you’re newly qualified and building confidence, or an experienced practitioner wanting depth, containment and a space to think.

I offer clinical supervision for counsellors and psychotherapists across modalities. My foundation is integrative practice, and I bring a strong attachment-based lens to supervision, helping you:

  • understand your relationship with your clients at a deeper level

  • explore countertransference with curiosity rather than fear

  • link theory to practice in a way that feels alive and useful

  • stay grounded, reflective and resourced in the work

Supervision is also a home for your own personal and professional growth - a space to reconnect with who you are as a practitioner.

My approach: Attachment-informed Supervision

My supervisory style is warm, steady and collaborative. I offer a reflective space where you can explore your practice safely and without judgement.

My work is grounded in attachment theory — not as jargon, but as a way of seeing the relational patterns between you and your clients. This helps you understand:

  • what’s happening in the therapeutic relationship

  • how your early experiences shape your responses and instincts

  • why certain clients feel easy and others feel activating

  • how to bring more awareness, flexibility and confidence into the room

I draw on established models including Inskipp & Proctor and Hawkins & Shohet to structure our work, but sessions are never formulaic.

Supervision is tailored to what you need on that day, in that moment.

You might use supervision to:

  • explore a complex or confusing client scenario

  • untangle countertransference and emotional responses

  • think about safeguarding, ethics or boundaries

  • identify blind spots that could impact your work

  • reflect on your own wellbeing, workload and resilience

  • build confidence in your clinical decision-making

 

Supervision is a collaboration.

My role is to hold the space, offer containment, share knowledge when helpful, and support your growth as a practitioner.

 

​​I’m an Integrative Counsellor (MBACP Accredited) with specialist training in attachment-based therapy. I’ve worked across counselling agencies and in private practice, supporting clients through anxiety, loss, relationship challenges and life transitions.

Alongside my therapy work, I’m a Lecturer in Counselling, which means I’m used to teaching skills, theory and reflective practice in a way that is clear, grounded and accessible.

These experiences help me support you with:

  • integrating theory into real-world client work

  • navigating the early years of private practice

  • managing complex relationships and multi-layered dynamics

  • deepening your confidence, ethical decision-making and reflective capacity

 

I understand the weight of the work — and how important it is to feel steady and supported

First Steps

Choosing a supervisor is an important decision. You need someone you feel comfortable with - someone who feels safe, attuned and able to offer both support and gentle challenge.

That’s why I offer a free 30-minute introductory call.

It’s a chance for us to meet, talk through what you’re looking for, and see if we feel like the right fit.

There’s no pressure and no obligation — just a calm, confidential space to explore your next step.
