About me and my therapy practice

As your supervisor, I focus on all aspects of your client work, as well as, your personal and professional development. As an experienced Person-centred counsellor and life coach I can support students as well as qualified practitioners working with short-term, and long-term clients (including neurodivergent clients) both in agency settings and/or private practice.


Fostering a safe working alliance is an integral part of our work together. Our working relationship sits at the heart of supervision so I want to make sure you feel safe to talk about any aspect of your work that is playing on your mind. Creating a warm, trusting relationship where we can look at what works, just as much as what you may be struggling with or what to understand more about so that you feel safe and supported no matter what you want to talk to me about.



Practice description

I’m here to help you with case management including progress, clients you may feel stuck with, and those that may suddenly stop therapy as well as ethical dilemmas – embracing the uniqueness of all your clients and the profound events that have shaped them.

We will work with but also build on your knowledge, in order, to widen the areas of work that you feel confident in. Although I am person-centered, I may draw on various theories and approaches to support and help develop your work with clients. I may also draw on some psycho-education when appropriate. But, I, also, invite you to bring your creativity to sessions to understand yourself better, and your clients. I may use my creative style (metaphors, visualisations, characters, or scenes from books and films …) to help explain theories and my experience in sessions, but also to identify possible areas to explore with your clients safely.

We may also take a fly-on-the-wall approach and observe what is happening between you and your clients. Taking a non-judgemental look can be very insightful process which can reveal attachment tendencies, boundaries, transference, and countertransference… we can then explore ways to address them and deepen the therapeutic relationship.

Supervision is also your space to tap into your experience when working with specific clients and how that may affect you and shape the therapeutic relationship. Looking at what is going on for you within your working environment, in general, within the therapeutic relationship, and our supervisory relationship so that you remain safe and confident in yourself. I also encourage self-compassion and self-care in whatever form that takes for you.

I can supervise life coaches and counsellors who work with adults, and teenagers including neuro-diverse clients in short and long-term therapy.

My fee is £60 per hour or £75 for 1 1/2 hours.

Concessionary rates are available for students and newly qualified (up to 1 year post qualification).



My first session

I offer a free half hour telephone or online session to chat through what you need from supervision,  the modalities you use and to see if we are a good match.

About me and my therapy practice

I work with people from all manner of backgrounds and ages that are facing a wide range of life's challenges including relationship difficulties, longterm health conditions/disabilities, and abuse. Healing from the emotional impact that has caused stress, anxiety, and depression. Yet I also work with people to explore their personal aspirations/life and career goals too. Building self-esteem, confidence, and internal motivation to reach health, and lifestyle goals.

I have a relaxed approach yet effective too. Supporting people to overcome a variety of problems in my private and voluntary work. Working together to separate past experiences and unhealthy personal beliefs (inner critic) from the present. Bringing a calmer way of being so that you feel more confident, happier and in control of your life.

I focus on my client's own story to undercover personal meaning and deepen understanding. I sometimes use metaphors, visualisations to help clients express their experiences, their meaning - uncovering hope and personal aspirations. However, how we work depends on your individual needs and focus. Feel free to call or email to chat about what support you need
