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 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.
