I have limited availability - face-to-face or online. Please feel free to contact to see if I have any availability. 

Something extremely challenging may have happened (or be happening) in your life, and you might be struggling to make or integrate changes. You might not be feeling comfortable in yourself, or around others. You might be experiencing low self-esteem, tension, sadness, or problems in your relationships. Maybe you’re not feeling yourself and you’re not exactly sure why. Maybe you’ve reached a point of crisis and you’re not sure how you’re going to get through it. 

I can offer you an accepting therapeutic relationship that will allow you to safely explore and process complex experiences. I work flexibly and creatively to help you to develop and achieve goals –  valuing all of the different parts of you with curiosity, empathy, and genuine care.

As a supervisor I hope to foster a safe, engaging, and supportively challenging relationship where we can openly explore the process and impact of your work. I work in a relational and creative way in offering an emergent space that feels welcoming, empowering, expansive, and containing in supporting your wellbeing as a practitioner. I aim to support you in holding and managing complexity and risk in whatever context you’re working in, and will always work to support awareness, exploration, and professional development.

My core training is in person-centred-experiential approaches, but I have integrated other approaches in my training so draw on different theories in the thinking around my work and supervision practice. I am open to working with those who’s practice is primarily focussed on working relationally with clients.

In my own therapeutic practice I am particularly interested in complex long-term work, with special interests and training in working with trauma, relationships, and issues around identity. I have worked in third sector, private practice, education, NHS, and social work settings. Alongside delivering supervision to other therapists, I have experience delivering therapeutic/reflective practice supervision to other professionals such as social workers and feel passionately about what my discipline has to offer other helping professions.

I also have experience delivering COSCA training and I am open to working with supervisees at any point of your career/training.

I am a fully accredited with the BACP, so support supervisees within this ethical framework.

I offer an initial 20 minute telephone call to get a sense of whether we would be a good fit, and to allow you to ask any questions you might have.

Going forward, I have some space for face-to-face appointments in Finnieston (G3), and also offer Zoom/phone sessions if preferred.

My standard rates for supervision are £55 per hour, or £80 for 1.5 hours.
