Individual & Group Supervision · Tring & Online
Supervision is one of the most rewarding parts of my work. I bring over twelve years of clinical experience and a genuine passion for helping practitioners develop — with warmth, curiosity and challenge in equal measure.
Clinical supervision is at the heart of safe, ethical and effective therapeutic practice. It offers a dedicated space to reflect on client work, explore challenges, deepen understanding, and continue developing clinical skills.
My role as a supervisor brings me a huge amount of joy — seeing other practitioners develop their own practice, find their clinical voice, and grow in confidence is deeply rewarding.
I work integratively with a focus on psychodynamic concepts, informed by the Seven-Eyed Model of supervision (Hawkins & Shohet).
A safe, contained space to explore what is happening in your client work — including the parts that feel stuck, confusing or emotionally demanding.
Deepening your theoretical understanding, developing therapeutic skills, and growing in confidence as a practitioner.
Exploring ethical dilemmas, boundary issues and professional responsibilities in a non-judgemental, thoughtful space.
Attending to your wellbeing as a practitioner — exploring the emotional impact of the work and supporting a sustainable practice.
