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 am a clinical psychologist, supervisor and trainer specialising in CFT. I have been using CFT in my practice for over ten years, having attended many CFT workshops (including the three day introductory training, advanced clinical skills, CFT approaches to trauma, working with people who hear voices, chair work, compassionate leadership, and compassion focused staff support). I completed a one year postgraduate certificate in CFT at the University of Derby in 2017. I receive monthly specialist CFT supervision, and have done so for the last seven years. I co-founded and co-facilitate a local CFT peer supervision group, which has been running for five years, as well as providing individual CFT supervision for a range of psychologists and therapists. I regularly deliver CFT training to trainee clinical psychologists, and have delivered a range of CFT workshops and training sessions within my NHS trust. I have a particular interest in staff wellbeing and compassion in teams and organisations, having worked in a staff wellbeing service for two years and developing and delivering a range of compassion-focused interventions (at individual, group, and system/organisational level) during this time.
