Before qualifying I volunteered as a Samaritan and completed clinical placements in a variety of different mental health settings. I have myself received supervision for the best part of two decades. 

I am clear that supervision has been crucial to my performance and continuing development as a therapist and trainer.  Supervision continues to be an integral and nourishing component of my working week. I receive regular professional supervision on my work, as well as being part of several peer supervisory relationships. The central importance I give supervision is also why I chose to undertake specific training to enhance my practice as an individual and group supervisor.

I have experience of supervising individuals and groups, and have offered spaces for reflective practice within both clinical and commercial environments since 2010. I am experienced in supervising trainee and qualified counsellors, psychotherapists and coaches who work with adults as well as alternative practitioners and other facilitators of change.

I am pleased to work with organisations to develop and support the delivery of internal coaching programmes, offering training, supervision, and consultancy input.

My underlying philosophy is that supervision is a form of social learning practice. As a supervisor, I draw upon learnings from psychology, psychotherapy, group dynamics, intersubjectivity, appreciative inquiry, and systemic theory. My integrative approach to supervision has been influenced by my training with The Centre for Supervision and Team Development, a leading training organisation for supervision since 1979.
