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 both clinical and pastoral counselor, and a psychodynamic psychotherapist, and I work as a private practitioner, first responder and supervisor. I started training in 2006 at the Institute of Counselling in Glasgow specialising in Couples and Family issues, Grief and Bereavement, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorders. I then continued with courses related to Couples and Family issues and Traumas at TCCR, Tavistock Centre for Couple Relationships, followed by training in psychodynamic psychotherapy at the University of Essex and pursued more studies at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. I completed a post-graduate psychotherapy degree at the psychiatric at Claude Bernard University Lyon 1 / CHU hospital Vinatier in Lyon and continued with residential and summer schools at TCCR to further her experience in relationships and families. In 2017 I was introduced to CFT by Chris Irons and throughout the years I have continued my training in CFT, which I now essentially apply in therapy. I facilitate the online European CFT peer support and intervention group.
