Collaborative and supportive supervision to support your development
Whether you’re a trainee counsellor taking your first tentative steps into practice or an experienced therapist looking for a reflective space, I believe clinical supervision should be somewhere you can think out loud, a place where you don’t need to have all the answers. Where you can bring the clients who stay with you long after the session has ended, the ethical dilemmas, the moments of uncertainty, the sessions that filled you with joy, and the ones that left you wondering whether you could have done something differently.
I don’t see supervision as a place where you have to prove yourself. I hope it’s somewhere you can be your real, authentic self. Somewhere we can reflect together, laugh together when it’s needed, and think carefully about your work without judgement or criticism.
Above all, I hope you leave supervision feeling listened to, valued and a little more confident in yourself as a therapist than when you arrived.
How I work
I don’t work from a hierarchical position where I tell you what you should do.You know your clients. You know your therapeutic relationship with them in a way that nobody else can. My role isn’t to take that expertise away from you. It’s to bring another perspective.
Sometimes I might notice something that’s been difficult to see when you’ve been immersed in the work. Sometimes we might think together about ethics, safeguarding, agency policies or professional responsibilities. Sometimes we’ll simply slow things down and become curious about what’s happening for you, your client and the therapeutic relationship.
We’ll think together, we’ll reflect together and, hopefully, you’ll leave with greater clarity and confidence in your own thinking.
For trainee counsellors, supervision naturally includes more teaching and guidance. I enjoy supporting trainees as they develop their therapeutic identity, helping to make sense of theory, ethics and practice in a way that feels encouraging rather than overwhelming.
For qualified counsellors, I see supervision as a collaborative relationship between two professionals, where there is space for challenge, curiosity, learning and restoration.
My approach to supervision
My supervision is informed by the Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision, which helps us think not only about your client, but also about the therapeutic relationship, your own responses, the wider systems around the work and what might be happening between all of us.
I also hold in mind the restorative, formative and normative functions of supervision.
That means I hope supervision becomes a place where you can:
- reflect on your client work with curiosity
- continue developing your confidence and skills
- think through ethical questions together
- feel supported when the work feels emotionally demanding
- celebrate the moments that remind you why you became a therapist in the first

If you’re wondering whether we’d work well together, I’m always happy to arrange a free introductory conversation. It’s an opportunity for us to meet, for you to ask questions about how I work, and for us both to decide whether the relationship feels like a good fit.
Finding the right supervisor matters just as much as finding the right therapist, and I don’t think that’s something you can decide from a website alone.
