ONLINE SUPERVISION

As a supervisor I believe my job is to support you as supervisee in your practice; to help you develop and grow as a therapist and encourage you in your exploration of our fascinating profession

My main therapeutic modalities are psychodynamic, humanistic – person centred - and existential. In addition, over many years of practice as a therapist, I have expanded my knowledge in a number of additional areas.

I offer particular experience for supervisees whose clients are living outside their country of origin and LGBTQ clients However, the wide experience that comes from many years working as a psychotherapist means that I have worked with a very wide range of client presentations. In addition, I bring previous professional experience from working in finance and banking and as an international sportsperson.

I believe good supervision is vital to our work as therapists. I should provide you with the effective professional support you require to learn and to develop in your chosen profession. In addition, in our sessions together,  I aim to encompass every aspects of our profession - training, professional codes of conduct, delivery of therapy online, to mention some of the most important.

I am an integrative therapist and thus provide supervision from a breadth of theoretical backgrounds, as outlined in the description above.  As s supervisor, I work to recognized models of supervision to ensure working standards.

I am trained as a supervisor to Level 6 and am specifically trained in providing supervision online.  As a psychotherapist,  I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling

My sessions are on line – either 90 mins per month or 45 mins fortnightly. I am also sensitive to the cost constraints that many trainee therapists face so offer some pro bono supervision.

I offer an initial free telephone conversation where we have an opportunity to talk together. This is an opportunity for you to present where you are in your development as a therapist, to let me know what you are looking for from your supervision and for both of us to ask the questions we need to ask to help us work out if we are a good fit to work together.

Please make contact with me initially by email.

ONLINE THERAPY

My journey to becoming a psychotherapist began when I was an expat, living outside of the UK.  This experience led me, first of all, to look for a therapist for myself and ultimately to the decision to train as a psychotherapist, as I realized how "the talking therapy" can be so helpful in difficult times.  That was many years ago now and in the meantime I set up what in now a long-standing private psychotherapy practice. 

I have a Post-Graduate Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling and work mainly online with adults, working to overcome emotional difficulties, to explore the issues and challenges that are causing distress and to provide support as we work together to alleviate anxiety and stress.

Please feel free to contact me. I will be happy to talk with you about your specific needs and to discuss how I may be of help.

I have specific expertise in providing therapy for those living outside their country of origin and those within the LGBTQ+ community. 

I also bring the experience of my previous professional in banking and finance and sport at an international level.

I am an integrative therapist which means that I trained in a range of methodologies of psychotherapy – principally psychodynamic, which means we would spend a lot of time thinking about your past. I also trained in existential thinking - so we would think a lot about what life means to you, to discover how you would like to live life. I believe my therapy is however based in humanistic theory, which guides my way of being with you, to help you to explore your own thoughts whilst being supported in a way that allows you to grow as a person as you work to find your way to happiness and a fulfilling life.

I offer an initial free telephone conversation where we have an opportunity to talk together. This is an opportunity for you to let me know what you are looking for, from me, as your therapist. Also for both of us to ask the questions we need to ask to help us work out if we are a good fit to work together.

I am sensitive to those with particular cost constraints and can offer reduced rates in some circumstances
