I offer individual and group clinical supervision, both in person and online, for counsellors and psychotherapists on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis.  As therapists, we can naturally become focused on the needs, struggles and growth of our clients. In the model of transpersonal supervision in which I trained — developed by Alkemia Training — supervision holds a wide field of awareness: the wellbeing, development and process of both therapist and client.

My approach is collaborative rather than directive. I encourage supervisees to initially present their clients as factually as possible, setting aside early hypotheses or formulations. This creates space for us to explore the client together with curiosity, openness and fresh perspective.

Alongside ethical considerations and good clinical practice, we may explore the client’s family history, formative experiences, relationships, attachment patterns and boundaries. We will also pay close attention to what emerges within the therapeutic relationship itself, including parallel process, countertransference and the therapist’s own responses.

My aim is to provide a reflective, supportive and challenging space where supervisees can develop confidence, deepen their clinical understanding and remain connected to themselves as practitioners.

I bring many years’ experience of working with complex emotional presentations, addiction, relational difficulties and questions of meaning, identity and purpose.

Alkemia supervision training is UKCP accredited.
