Overview

Please provide an overview of your experience as a CFT therapist and supervisor including training and workshops you have attended on CFT and supervision.

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 have completed the CMF pathway of Introduction, Advanced, and Retreat workshops. I have also attended additional training with Prof Paul Gilbert and Drs. Chris Irons, Deborah Lee, Charlie Heriot-Maitland, Kate Lucre, Russell Kolts, Neil Clapton, and Syd Hiskey as well as Deirdre Fay. I am a regular delegate at the annual CMF conference and a member of the CFT and the Body Special Interest Group. I feel very privileged to belong to such an amazing community of people. I completed formal supervisor training as part of my doctorate. This involved reviewing taped individual supervision sessions with my supervisor, and co-facilitating supervision groups with her. There was also a theory / coursework component of this training. I am registered to begin the CMF supervisor training pathway this year. I attend monthly supervision with Dr. Neil Clapton. I have over 30 years experience working in the area of psychology and mental health. Earlier in my career I worked mainly with children and adolescents, and worked in an outpatient service for children who had experienced sexual abuse. My work now is with adults.
