Overview

I offer clinical supervision as a collaborative, reflective and compassionate space to support your development as a therapist. Grounded in warmth, safeness and connection, my approach mirrors my clinical work—placing the therapeutic relationship at the centre and recognising that we all bring “tricky brains” shaped by personal experiences and our essential humanness. Supervision becomes a space where difficulties can be explored with curiosity rather than judgement.

Supervision is an essential part of safe and ethical practice. Its core aims are to support client safety, deepen reflective practice, and nurture your ongoing professional growth. Within this, I see my role as enabling, containing and gently challenging you to think, feel and grow in your work, while you remain responsible for your clinical practice.

My approach integrates compassion-focused, psychodynamic and person-centred thinking, alongside a Socratic style of enquiry. Through thoughtful questioning, we explore what underpins your clinical decisions—your values, assumptions and emotional responses—helping you develop clarity, confidence and authenticity in your work. This includes attention to attachment, the therapeutic relationship, and the emotional impact of the work, supporting your personal resilience and reducing the risk of burnout.

We will also consider the wider contexts you work within, exploring issues of diversity, power and ethics. Supervision can be one-to-one or in groups, online or in person, and tailored to your needs.

At its heart, my aim is to offer a reflective space where you feel supported to grow a compassionate, thoughtful and sustainable practice.

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 have completed an Introduction to Compassion Focused Therapy with Dr Chris Irons 2019 followed by the postgraduate certificate in CFT at the University of Derby in 2020. I attend a significant interest group 6 weekly and the annual conference as well as engaging in my own reading to keep up to date with the practice of CFT. I regularly use CFT in my NHS work, in hospital staff support and in my previous role working with adults with complex post-traumatic stress disorder, with individual clients, teams and organisations. I have delivered training in CFT to the local University clinical psychology doctorate and within the teams and NHS trusts I have worked in, including facilitating Compassionate Mind Training Groups, for which I was supervised by Dr Chris Irons. I am qualified in supervision of Trainee Clinical Psychologists and have experience supervising other professionals. I also have a small private practice. I am enthusiastic about supporting people to work with CFT- please do not hesitate to get in touch.
