Clinical Supervision
I am currently completing a Diploma in Integrative Supervision for Individuals and Groups with The Grove Practice.
Supervisory Philosophy
My supervisory philosophy is rooted in authenticity and collaborative partnership, providing a reflective space centred on your goals to help you navigate your practice with skill, groundedness, and confidence.
I believe the best work happens when we can bring our authentic selves into the room. I invite you to bring your vulnerable parts, so that together we can explore the multilevel dynamics emerging —whether they are happening within the client, within you, or in the relationship between you both. My approach is congruent, attuned and containing, balancing clinical rigour with relational depth and a supportive, clinically focused process.
I invite you to bring all aspects of your practice to our sessions. Together, we can navigate specific clinical cases and theoretical questions, as well as your growth as a practitioner and your own personal well-being, ensuring you feel supported and sustained in your work.
My Approach to Supervision
1
The client’s world - their lived experience.
2
The therapist’s/supervisee’s interventions, techniques and goals.
3
The process and relationship between the therapist/supervisee and the client; exploring conscious and unconscious processes between you and your client.
4
The therapist’s/supervisee’s process, attending to your own emotional and somatic responses to your client’s material; your internal process.
5
Parallel process, identifying how your client’s dynamics might be mirrored in our relationship as supervisor and supervisee; the here- and-now relationship.
6
The internal experience as supervisor; the sharing of the supervisor’s emotional and somatic responses to the material presented.
7
Navigating professional standards, ethical frameworks, and organisational requirements, while exploring how difference, social and cultural location, and power dynamics impact the work.
Professional Reflection & Frameworks
In our sessions, we work within the framework of your specific training and chosen modalities. My role is to support your way of working, providing a space for professional reflection and shared inquiry. Where appropriate, I may offer a different perspective based on my core training in psychodynamic, existential, and humanistic modalities, alongside somatic practices.
An Integrative & Mindbody Focus
As an integrative psychotherapist and mindbody therapist, I am curious about how the work is embodied. While our sessions are supervisee-led, I also bring an awareness of the somatic layers of the clinical encounter. This might include noticing how the narrative is physically held, or being curious about the subtle resonances that emerge.
To support our work, I value experiential exploration, imagery, and other creative approaches. These can be helpful resources to gain further insight into a difficult dynamic or to explore a particular theme or case.
I may also invite you to stay curious about our somatic responses during our work together, as these felt sensations may provide insightful additional perspectives.
Chronic Conditions & Persistent Symptoms
I also supervise practitioners working with chronic conditions and persistent symptoms, including counsellors, psychotherapists and those from other multidisciplinary professions. This includes working with neuroplastic symptoms and stress illness, moving beyond symptom management toward a recovery-focused model.
Whether your work involves addressing the emotional drivers of pain, retraining the nervous system, or navigating complex mindbody presentations, I provide a reflective environment to explore the unique clinical challenges of these deep-rooted symptoms. Together, we can explore how to 'rule in' mindbody processes, reduce fear, and support clients in unlearning persistent neural pathways to live their best lives.
Ethics and Professional Standards
Together, we can navigate the complexities of practice, from clinical risk to the personal impact of the work. I am guided by the BACP Ethical Framework, and the standards of your respective membership board as appropriate, ensuring we work with integrity and in the client's best interests.
I hold space for ‘un-knowing’, staying with the uncertainties of the work together, as it is often within this process that the most vital clinical inquiry and professional growth emerge.
In line with the BACP Ethical Framework, my own work as a supervisor is supported by regular supervision consultancy to ensure the highest standards of professional practice.
