Overview

Please provide an overview of your experience as a CFT therapist and supervisor including training and workshops you have attended on CFT and supervision.

I offer Compassion Focused Supervision, bringing compassion into the supervision process itself for an experiential and relational learning experience. With safeness and courage, we can develop your CFT or integrative practice, cultivate your ‘compassionate therapist self’, and support/empower you as a human being. Half my week is spent supporting colleagues with supervision and training, including supervision for the CFT Diploma. I’m an experienced CFT therapist, working with adults with Complex Trauma/Anxiety/Depression in private practice (formerly NHS IAPT/CMHT), and I also draw on ACT and EMDR. My training includes the CMF’s supervisor training, as well as many CFT workshops and conferences including advanced clinical skills, chairwork, personal practice, PDs and attachment problems, FBRs and trauma. I have regular CFT supervision and supervision-of-supervision. I have a certificate in supervision from the University of Birmingham (2015) and am a BABCP Accredited Supervisor.

I began learning about CFT in 2011 and started formal CFT training in 2013. I started with the introduction to CFT, went on to complete the Advanced CFT training, and then took a deep dive into studying CFT by completing the Post-Graduate Certificate in CFT at the University of Derby under the tuition of Professor Paul Gilbert, and supervision of Dr Mary Welford. I have gained much from regular supervision with Dr Chris Irons and Dr Kate Lucre, both of whom I’ve been working with for many years. I have completed so many wonderful CFT specialist workshops since I’ve lost count! Some of the CFT trainings I have completed include CFT for trauma, complex trauma/ personality disorder/ attachment trauma, groups, staff support, eating disorders, psychosis, self-criticism, the therapeutic relationship, and chairwork.

I am a highly experienced Registered Nurse and Registered Psychotherapist, with over 30 years of experience in the mental health field and I would be happy to support you on your journey. I have extensive background in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I specialize in Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) in individual psychotherapy.

I have training and experience in using CFT for Anxiety, OCD, PTSD and Trauma, Depression, Psychosis, and other difficulties.

I integrate interventions from these therapies into CFT to each address each client's unique needs, offering them a comprehensive and effective therapeutic experience. I have a strong commitment to professional development and sharing knowledge. My passion for Compassion Focused Therapy led me to become a founding member of the Canadian Network - Compassion Focused Therapy - Réseau Canadien. I facilitate online CFT peer consultation groups and in-person meetings for therapists in Toronto, fostering a collaborative community of learning and growth. I also practice and teach in the Korean Ganhwasoen (Koan Zen) tradition, having received Dharma Transmission from my teacher in 2013.
