Stepping into supervision – whether you are newly qualified, returning to practice, or simply seeking a different supervisory relationship – can feel both exciting and a little daunting. My aim as a supervisor is to offer you a calm, compassionate, and supportive space where you can feel safe to reflect, question, and grow with confidence.

I work from a nurturing, relational, and collaborative supervisory stance, valuing supervision as a place where you can bring all of you – your clinical work, your questions, your uncertainties, and your strengths. I believe supervision works best when it feels containing rather than critical, and when you feel genuinely supported as well as gently challenged.

My supervisory approach

I primarily work using Hawkins & Shohet’s Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision, explained in a supervisee-friendly way and tailored to your learning style. Rather than feeling like a rigid framework, this model allows us to look at your work from several different angles – for example:

  • What is happening for your client

  • What is happening for you as the therapist

  • What may be occurring between you and your client

  • How the wider context (ethics, organisation, personal impact) might be influencing the work

This holistic way of working helps supervision feel rounded, thoughtful, and deeply reflective, rather than narrowly problem-focused. It supports ethical practice, deepens understanding, and helps you develop confidence and self-trust in your clinical decisions.

Alongside this, I draw on developmental supervision principles, recognising that your needs will change over time. Newly qualified therapists may need more structure, reassurance, and normalisation, while more experienced practitioners may wish to work at greater depth, exploring patterns, parallel process, or professional identity.

What you can expect from supervision with me

  • A warm, non-judgemental space where it is okay not to have all the answers

  • A supervisor who is curious, attuned, and supportive, not critical

  • Gentle challenge that supports growth rather than undermines confidence

  • Clear attention to ethical practice, safeguarding, and professional standards

  • Space to explore the emotional impact of the work, including self-care and sustainability

  • Respect for your therapeutic approach, while supporting you to develop your own professional voice

I am particularly mindful that supervision is not just about the work you do, but about you as the practitioner doing it. I aim to help you feel steadier, clearer, and more confident leaving supervision than when you arrived.

Who I work with

I offer supervision to:

  • Trainee counsellors

  • Newly qualified therapists

  • Qualified practitioners seeking a compassionate supervisory relationship

I welcome supervisees working integratively and value openness, reflection, and a willingness to engage with the supervisory process.

If you are looking for a supervisor who will walk alongside you with care, curiosity, and kindness – while holding professional and ethical practice firmly in mind – I would be very happy to explore working together
