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 was introduced to Compassion Focused Therapy in 2010 and began working in this way following attendance to workshops via the Compassionate Mind Foundation. I have kept my Mental Health Nursing registration up to date. I have completed internal NHS trust courses in supervision as well as attending the BABCP Compassion Focused Supervision workshop in 2018. I receive 1:1 CFT supervision with Tobyn Bell. I am a working member of the BABCP Compassion SIG. I have provided group CFT supervision for trainee medics and I currently provide CFT 1:1 supervision within the trust I work in as well as externally.

If you are a dedicated mental health professional seeking guidance and supervision to enhance your skills in using the model of Compassion Focused Therapy, I would be happy to speak with you regarding consultation/supervision. 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 engaged in extensive training and consultation with Paul Gilbert and senior trainers in the CFT community. I have training and experience in using CFT for Anxiety, OCD, PTSD and Trauma, Depression, Psychosis, and other difficulties. I also have training in other in evidence-based therapies including CBT, DBT, IPT, and Mindfulness-based therapies. 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.
