Supervision for Counsellors and Trainees

I offer clinical supervision for counsellors and trainees who want a steady, reflective space to think about their work, their clients, and their professional development. My approach is collaborative and grounded, with a focus on supporting you to work safely, ethically, and in a way that feels authentic to your therapeutic identity.

How I Work

Supervision with me is relational and reflective. We pay attention to your experience as a practitioner, the dynamics within your client work, and the wider context you’re working in. You’re welcome to bring anything that feels important — clinical questions, ethical considerations, moments of uncertainty, or areas where you’d like to grow.

Experience

I have experience supervising both trainee counsellors and qualified practitioners working in community services, and private practice. My supervisory work supports counsellors at different stages of their development — from trainees building confidence and identity, to experienced practitioners navigating complex client work, ethical questions, and long‑term therapeutic processes.

Ethical practice and client safety sit at the centre of my supervisory approach. I work within professional codes of conduct, and I support supervisees to think clearly about boundaries, risk, safeguarding, and the ethical decision‑making that underpins safe therapeutic work. Supervision with me offers a reflective space where you can explore uncertainty, strengthen your clinical judgement, and stay grounded in the responsibilities of the profession.

My background includes extensive clinical work with trauma, sexual violence, relational dynamics, anxiety, long‑term pressure, and suicidal distress. These areas often inform the steadiness and depth I bring to supervision, helping practitioners feel supported, contained, and able to work safely with clients who may be experiencing significant distress.

Format and Fees

Supervision sessions last 60 minutes and can take place online or in person.

The fee for supervision is £50 per session.

If you prefer in‑person work, full details of the therapy space are shared during the introductory call.
