About me and my therapy practice

Having built up my counselling and CBT practice and experience over many years, I have now completed a L6 Diploma in Clinical Supervision, and am able to offer supervision at the rate of £55/hour, or £75 for 1.5 hours.   


Finding a supervisor may seem daunting and there are many things to consider in order to come to a decision about who to work with. Ultimately, in a supervisor, you will want to find someone with whom you feel comfortable working, and who will be able to support you to meet your needs. One size doesn’t fit all! Whatever your level of knowledge or experience, I view supervision as a collaboration between colleagues in a confidential, safe, and non-judgemental environment. It is an opportunity to share your fears and disappointments, reflect on your work and theory, explore challenges and interventions, but also, importantly, to celebrate the triumphs and victory moments. Although the content material in supervision may be serious or sombre, I also seek to find humour where appropriate, and enjoyment of the supervision process.

I am an experienced IAPT licensed CfD Practitioner, Counsellor and CBT Therapist. Being a registered and accredited member of the BACP means that I have met the required standards of training, supervision and continuing professional development, and am committed to working within the Ethical Framework of the organisation. Over the past 15 years I have worked in a variety of settings for different organisations, covering agencies, the NHS, Employee Assistance Programmes and my private practice. Having originally trained integratively in counselling, I am also a qualified CBT therapist, and offer this as a stand alone approach in my practice.


Practice description

I have some f2f availability and can also offer supervision online.  I do not offer evening appointments.

My first session

During your first session I will explain the boundaries and limitations of the contract with you (confidentiality, cancellation policy etc) and will then listen to understand your needs from supervision. I will work with you to identify your goals, and explore the approach that is most appropriate to your needs.

In order to achieve the most out of your sessions, it is important that you feel comfortable working with your supervisor . As a supervisor, my aim would be to support and encourage you in your work and share my knowledge and experience of different modalities and settings in line with your goals. I believe there is no end to personal growth and development (mine and yours), and creating an authentic, non-judgemental space in the supervision relationship, can encourage this. I look forward to not only supporting others in their work, but also discovering what I might learn through their experiences too.

Practice description

I have limited face to face availability but otherwise am able to work remotely via phone, Whatsapp or Zoom.  I am able to work flexibly, although cannot offer evening appointments at this time.

My first session

Counselling is an opportunity to explore your emotions and experiences, understand yourself better, and discover what lies behind the things that are troubling you, or keeping the difficulty going.  During your first session I will explain the boundaries and limitations of the contract with you (confidentiality, cancellation policy etc) and will then listen to understand in a non judgmental way, the issues which concern you.  I will work with you to identify your goals for therapy, and explore the approach that is most appropriate to your needs.   

In order to achieve the most out of your sessions, it is important that you feel comfortable working with your therapist .  At the end of your first session I will explore options going forward, and discuss next steps with you. There is no obligation to continue if you do not wish to.  Likewise, if at any point I felt that I was not the best person to be working with you, I would declare this and seek to offer an alternative.
