I have always valued supervision and have been fortunate enough to be supervised by some fantastic supervisors who inspired me to become one myself!
As an integrative supervisor, I respect each therapist’s modality and am able to work with therapists from different training backgrounds. I aim to create a safe supervisory space so that the therapist feels comfortable sharing all their experiences when working with clients. This emotional safety benefits both therapist and client in receiving the support they need.
Whether you are a student or qualified therapist, I like supervision to be collaborative. I believe “working together” mirrors the therapeutic relationship. I will be curious with you so that you can think independently, be reflective, and develop your “internal supervisor”.
Supervision is whatever you need to help your client work and practice. Whilst a function of supervision is practical/educational (e.g. learning/discussion of interventions), I also believe that exploration of therapeutic processes is enriching. “Deep diving” into my own client work in supervision has cultivated my growth as a practitioner and has influenced my style as a supervisor. I give space to unpack these therapeutic and relational processes (e.g. transference, counter-transference, projections, areas of difference) to understand what is “really” going on in the work (and within ourselves as therapists!). This understanding can prevent unconscious processes from “getting in the way”, help the work to become “unstuck”, and inform appropriate interventions.
The supervisory space is mainly conversational, but I also offer creative mediums to explore therapeutic processes, understand a client’s world, and the therapeutic relationship.
I provide supervision for student and qualified therapists. I supervise therapists working with adults, young people and couples because of my own experience with these client groups.
I offer individual and group supervision which can be online or face to face.
From my background in the educational and voluntary sectors, I also supervise staff from other professions, including schools, family support workers, and charities.
