Face to face sessions are available in Cumbria and London. Most supervisees now prefer online sessions. 

With 20 years of clinical experience in community & a range of psychiatric settings, I have developed services by the Zoom app for individual supervision. I can help you to develop your clinical service in line with your training & approach. My CPD & research has involved integrating a comprehensive knowledge of Psychodynamic, Psychoanalytic, Cognitive Analytic, Cognitive Behavioural, Integrative & Humanistic approaches.

Cognitive Analytic Group supervision is available as an effective regular alternative on a fortnightly basis. This can prove very helpful in learning from each others experiences, safely sharing & reflecting to gain insight & to remain healthy & balanced as therapists.  

Sessions are conducted Monday to Friday including early evening.
