Supervision with me 

I view supervision as a safe supportive space for collaboration and reflection, with focus on the supervisee’s client work, wellbeing and their personal and professional development.  Exploration and reflection on client work in supervision, can result in increased self-awareness, highlighting blindspots and ethical considerations.  While the educational element provides an opportunity to increase knowledge and develop ideas for practice; the emotional support is key self-care to prevent burnt out.

My supervision practice is grounded in my theoretical knowledge as an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist (in practice since 2011), encompassing Psychodynamic, Humanistic and CBT theoretical approaches, and working with adults and young people aged 15-17.  And ethically underpinned by my membership body, the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapist). Please note if you are a member of a different membership body, such as NCPS, UKCP, etc., our supervision work can be guided by your ethical code / framework. 

I use Hawkins and Shohet’s 7-eyed model of Supervision, which encompasses focus on the supervisee, the client, interventions used, the supervisee’s process in counselling, the supervisory relationship and supervisor’s process and the wider context of which the work takes place. 

My supervision values encompass collaboration, reflection, honesty, integrity, curiosity, growth-mindset, personal and professional development. 

My training 

My supervision training included 50 taught hours, 20 supervision hours and a 5000 word essay.  The course was mapped to the BACP supervision competence framework.

I also have a BA (hons) Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy (1st) and am accredited by the BACP. 

I'm trained to work online and by telephone, having completed 80 hour training with Counselling Tutor. 

Who I supervise

I completed my supervision training in 2026 and as such, am offering supervision to qualified counsellors and psychotherapists initially. 

I also offer supervision to practitioners who work with groups, having facilitated a bereavement support group for 3.5 years and have also created a peer CPD course on the subject.
