These qualifications equip me with the skills to provide effective supervision to psychotherapists and counsellors at various stages of their careers. Whether you are an early career psychotherapist, still in training, or running your private practice, I am here to support you.

Who I Support

Private Practitioners: Running a private practice can be rewarding but also challenging. I offer guidance on maintaining professional boundaries, managing client relationships, and ensuring ethical practice. Additionally, I can provide support on the business side of running a practice, helping you navigate issues such as marketing, client acquisition, and balancing case loads.

Early Career therapists: Starting out in this field can be daunting. I offer a safe space for you to discuss your cases, reflect on your practice, and gain confidence in your therapeutic skills. My aim is to help you develop a strong foundation for a successful career in psychotherapy and counselling.

Trainees: If you are still in training, supervision is a crucial part of your development. I provide structured supervision to help you integrate theory with practice, understand the dynamics of the therapeutic relationship, and build your clinical skills.

My supervision style is warm, approachable, and collaborative. I believe in creating a supportive environment where you feel comfortable discussing your challenges and successes. Together, we will explore your cases, reflect on your experiences, and identify areas for growth. I aim to help you develop your unique therapeutic voice while adhering to best practices in the field.

Reflective Practice: Supervision is a space for reflection. We will explore your feelings and reactions to your clients, helping you understand how these influence your therapeutic work. This reflective practice is essential for personal and professional growth.

Ethical and Professional Guidance: Maintaining ethical standards is paramount in psychotherapy. I provide guidance on ethical dilemmas and professional conduct, ensuring you practice safely and effectively.

Practical Support: Beyond clinical issues, I offer practical support on the logistics of running a practice. From setting up your business to managing your workload, I am here to help you navigate the practicalities of being a therapist.

I have an office in Bromley, a discreet comfortable private space or sessions can done over zoom video.

As a trained psychodynamic therapist, my approach involves delving into your inner world to uncover how past experiences, particularly from childhood, shape your current emotions and behaviours. We  can look at how past experiences influence your   current behaviour and emotions. I am a wam and relational therapist that offers you have the freedom to choose what you want to talk about. If you find yourself in silence, I’ll gently check in with you to see how it feels. Sometimes, silence is a useful space to gather your thoughts before continuing. Other times, it might feel uncomfortable or awkward, and that’s okay. We’ll work together to decide when you might need a little support to keep going.

My work is also informed by attachment theory, we examine how early relationships influence your interactions and relationships today, working to untangle and refine these emotional blueprints for healthier connections. I have a special interest in in trauma and dissociation, my trauma-informed practice acknowledges the impact of your experiences, treating emotional responses as normal reactions to extraordinary events. Maybe you hide parts of you from others for fear you will be misunderstood. All parts of you are welcome to therapy!

I also work with Therapeutic Writing with clients drawn to this approach. Writing for wellbeing goes beyond journaling. In therapy, it becomes a powerful tool for self-discovery. Explore emotions, gain new perspectives, and process challenges at your own pace. Whether writing a letter to your younger self, or crafting a story that reflects your struggles, this approach empowers you to express what might be difficult to say out loud. I offer Therapeutic Writing as an option for clients who find written expression helpful. Writing can take place within your therapy session or written between sessions. 

The first session is a chance to meet each other and see if you feel we could work together, it is important that you feel safe and comfortable with your therapist. There will be time to ask any questions or concerns you may have.  You can then book ongoing sessions if you would like to.
