About me and my therapy practice

I provide a warm, supportive space, where a trusting relationship can develop. 

I am a Psychodynamic Therapist and Counselling Supervisor. My core training was accredited by the British Psychoanalytic Council and I am a registered Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Although my Supervisor role will be underpinned with my Psychodynamic modality, I respect and encourage my Supervisees to work within their own modalities.

My Supervision session lengths will vary depending on my Supervisee's needs and (if in training), their course requirements. 

I ensure that both myself and my Supervisees are up to date with safeguarding regulations and any other appropriate training that may be needed, (dependant on caseload).

I offer space for any urgent support required between sessions.

Practice description

I  offer Supervision sessions with individuals and small groups. 

I work within the BACP code of ethics and guidelines. You can see me as your private Supervisor or as a part of a Supervision (small) group.

I use unconscious process to inform my practice and we will spend time thinking about projections and the role of transference. My belief is that the most useful Supervision has space for constructive challenge, but also for creativity and mindful play.

My professional experience is working with adults and children, (12 plus) and I am able to support neurodiversity with my Supervisees and with their neurodiverse clients.

I am calm and considered and offer a containing, warm welcoming space for the Supervisees I work with. 

We will be working together and my aim is for you to feel safe and have trust that I will work in the best interests of both you and your clients. 

My first session

In our first session, I will be finding out a bit about you, your working week and your caseload and availability. This initial overview will help me hold and support you. 

We will think about your requirements for Supervision and this will lead to whether I am the right Supervisor for you. I will not work beyond my  level of competency and if I am not able to Supervise your caseload,, we will have time to try and explore where you may find the support you need.

We will look in depth at your client list and you will be able to share with me how you work. If we need more time in this first session, I will make sure there is a buffer to allow for this.

I want your first experience of working with me to be positive and for you to experience feeling held and supported.
