I am an experienced UKCP-recognised supervisor (RS). I enjoy supervising individuals, dyads and groups. I supervise therapists and counsellors and supervisors working in private practice, as well as practitioners who have worked/volunteered in services such as the PF Counselling Service, Mindspace, LGBT Health & Wellbeing, NHS Lothian, First Psychology, Talk Matters and Addictions Counselling Inverness. I also supervise a number of organisational consultants and coaches with an interest in enhancing the psychological depth in their work.

​

I see supervision as a holding relationship in which we can flexibly explore the breadth of your professional life, with attention to head, heart and soul. I will seek to reflect with you on your work as a therapist, counsellor, supervisor, trainer, manager, coach or consultant in ways that benefit your clients/staff, and support your efficacy, presence, creativity, learning, growth and wellbeing. I enjoy working with practitioners at all stages of development, from a diverse range of therapeutic modalities and professional backgrounds. My substantial experience as a trainer can be helpful to experienced practitioners, trainers and trainees.

​

I come from a place of openness and enquiry. I like to co-create collaborative supervisory relationships where we can look closely, kindly and honestly at your (and our) work, notice overarching themes, find fresh perspectives and possibilities, enable subtle and not-so-subtle shifts. I see our embodied supervisory relationship as centrally important to this process. Similarly, I will be interested in the way you and your clients/staff are co-creating your embodied relationships. 

​

During supervision, we all may experience some uncertainty and vulnerability, as well as some affirmation, joy and satisfaction. I am sensitive to shame, anxiety and power dynamics. I aim to support people to bring as much of themselves and their work as they can, achievements as well as struggles. I also bring as much of myself as seems helpful. I enjoy working with creative materials as part of supervision. I am skilled at supporting the integration and embodiment of theory, as well as working at the place where supervision and personal therapy meet. I value the importance of supervision in upholding ethical standards and good practice. I aim to openly discuss any concerns I may have with you and find an appropriate course of action.
