Life can be messy, overwhelming, and sometimes just plain hard. Maybe you’re living with the impact of past experiences, trying to manage anxiety, or feeling like you don’t quite fit into the world around you. Perhaps grief, stress, or uncertainty have made it difficult to move forward. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Are you a new or experienced psychotherapist, counsellor, or psychologist requiring supervision?
You will be aware that supervision is a requirement from your accrediting organisation, in order to practice professionally and ethically. However, it is also a space of reflection, where you can feel supported in your therapeutic work and facilitated in your growth as a therapist, in a non-judgemental and safe environment.
I use the the seven-eyed model (Hawkins and Shohet), to explore your work in a holistic way, attuned to what you need from each supervision session.

My ideal client would be someone wanting to gain self-awareness and insight into themselves. A person who is ready to seek a space for exploration and wants to use it to find out who they are, not what society and other people are telling them they should be, but their authentic voice. The client would want to find greater freedom by exploring the life journey they have been on and what this has meant to them. It's not for me to tell the client what their goals are but for me to provide them with a therapeutic space so they can find out for themselves.

I have over 10 years of experience working with adults to overcome mental health problems. CBT is an ideal treatment for those who are looking to change, whether that be to make some changes in the way in which you think about things, or some changes in the way in which you do things day to day. CBT can also help clients come to an understanding of 'why', E.G. what is it about you, your experiences & vulnerabilities which perhaps help explain why you struggle. This is often validating & helpful rather than self blaming. Together we will equip you with the skills and understanding you need in order to move forward with confidence.

People will come to therapy at different points in their life for different reasons. For some people, difficult emotions, distress or a stuck feeling may have developed over a period of time; for others a significant life experience may prompt the need for therapeutic support. Whatever your specific circumstances are, recognising the need for support is a positive step forward. I offer a gentle, empathetic approach, creating a safe place in which to explore the areas my clients wish to focus on.
