Supervision & Consultation

Professional Supervision

As a psychotherapist, I offer professional supervision. This consultation is available for professionals which include psychotherapists, counsellors, trainees on counselling, psychotherapy courses, social workers, school and nursery staff, foster carers and kinship carers.

Supervision helps those seeking supervision process the experience of being with their clients, or those in their care, and it offers the ability to recognise, understand and make use of this experience (transference & countertransference). With supervision, I aim to offer an ‘outside’, where professionals and carers can step back and reflect sufficiently to see how they might be affected by the inner worlds of their clients or those in their care.

I take an eclectic approach to supervision. My main orientation is psychodynamic, although this is strongly informed by my person-centred, systemic background. By using my developmental understandings which encompass attachment theory, neurobiology and developmental science as well as mindfulness and trauma-informed approaches. I will often use, body-awareness, sand-tray play and movement to enhance the supervision process.

I am happy to offer this both online and face-to-face.

Professional Consultation

I offer a consultancy service to other professionals working with children & adolescents.

I have extensive experience working in schools – this might be to help with setting up a counselling service or seeking support for particular students and those working with them.

I also facilitate reflective practice sessions for professionals working with children, adolescents and vulnerable adults.
