Good supervision should be more than case management or ticking ethical boxes.

It should be a place where you can think deeply about your work, reflect honestly on yourself as a therapist, and feel supported — especially when the work becomes complex, stuck, emotionally demanding or uncertain.

I offer supervision for counsellors and psychotherapists working with individuals and couples, both in private practice and within organisations. I also work with trainees and newly qualified therapists who are developing confidence in their clinical voice.

My approach to supervision is collaborative, thoughtful and relational. I aim to create a space where you can bring not only your clients and ethical dilemmas, but also your uncertainty, frustration, self-doubt, reactions and blind spots — without fear of judgement.

Supervision works best when it feels alive and real.

Alongside exploring client work, we may think together about:

• the therapeutic relationship
• unconscious processes and parallel process
• difference, power and identity
• boundaries and ethical tensions
• the emotional impact of the work
• professional development and confidence
• sustaining yourself in long-term practice

I draw particularly on Hawkins and Shohet’s Seven-Eyed Model alongside relational, psychodynamic and integrative approaches to supervision.

I have over thirty years’ experience as a therapist in universities, charities and private practice, and I continue to value supervision as an essential and creative part of therapeutic work. I believe good supervision should support both safe practice and the development of a therapist’s depth, authenticity and resilience.

I offer supervision:

• in-person in Dawlish, Devon
• online across the UK
• for individuals and couples work
• for qualified therapists and trainees

Finding the right supervisor matters.

I offer an initial informal conversation by phone or video so we can think together about whether working together feels like a good fit. My fee for ongoing supervision is £70 for one hour.
