Clinical Supervision
I offer clinical supervision to trainee and qualified therapists working in a range of settings, including private practice, charities, education, and the social care sector. My supervisory work is grounded in over fifteen years of clinical experience and is informed by a relational, integrative, and socially attuned perspective. My approach to supervision is shaped by Gestalt psychotherapy and enriched by early influences from Jungian analysis, eco-philosophy, shamanism, and process-oriented psychotherapy. I hold supervision as a collaborative and reflective space that supports ethical practice, clinical curiosity, professional development, and practitioner wellbeing. Particular attention is given to the relational field, parallel process, power dynamics, and the wider social, cultural, and organisational contexts in which therapeutic work takes place. I bring extensive experience of working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, including in educational and community settings. As a secondary school teacher with a background in teacher training, I am especially attuned to the needs of practitioners working with young people, families, and complex systems. My work with EAL learners, individuals with Special Educational Needs (SEN), and neurodiverse clients informs a supervision style that is inclusive, reflective, and developmentally sensitive. Where appropriate, I integrate embodied, creative, and mindfulness-based perspectives into supervision, drawing on my involvement in dance/movement and mindfulness communities. Supervision may include attention to bodily responses, emotional resonance, creativity, and the supervisee’s use of self as a therapeutic instrument.

My supervision is informed by a Gestalt and integrative framework, with attention to the wider relational, cultural, organisational, and socio-political contexts in which the work takes place. I support supervisees to explore how identity, power, privilege, and systemic factors shape both client work and professional roles.
