Clinical Supervision
Supervision can offer a space to think about our clinical work beyond the question of what we should or shouldn't have done.
I offer clinical supervision to qualified and in-training psychotherapists, counsellors and other therapeutic practitioners. My approach is integrative and relational, with particular attention to what may be happening within the therapeutic relationship and how this affects both client and therapist.
A space to think together
In supervision, we may explore clinical formulations, interventions, boundaries, risk and ethical questions, alongside transference and countertransference and the therapist's own experience within the work.
I am particularly interested in moments when we feel stuck, uncertain, frustrated, unusually protective, compelled to act, or unsure what a client may need from us. Rather than assuming these responses are something to eliminate, we can become curious about what they may tell us about the therapeutic relationship.
Sometimes supervision may help us identify a different intervention or direction. At other times, it may help us tolerate uncertainty and remain present long enough for something previously unseen to emerge.
Experience
I have extensive supervisory experience within specialist NHS mental health services and private practice, including complex trauma, personality disorders, dual diagnosis and addiction, group psychotherapy and relationship work.
I hold a Diploma in Clinical Supervision from the Institute of Group Analysis and offer individual and group clinical supervision, primarily online.
