I have been supervising therapists, both trainees and experienced practitioners, since 2000. In addition to supervising colleagues in healthcare settings, I also have experience of supervision in educational settings, the voluntary sector, and private practice. I offer both clinical and management/strategic supervision for individuals and organisations.
I describe my supervision bias as humanistic and integrative, influenced significantly by Proctor (1986) and Carroll (1996), but I welcome supervisees with different therapeutic perspectives from my own.
I have a lot of passion for my work, and devote myself wholeheartedly to the job, with energy and enthusiasm. I genuinely care about my clients and supervisees, and try always to work with warmth, intuition and sensitivity.
I also consider humour and common sense of vital importance in supervision. It can feel like a scary place, but with openness and honesty nurtured in the right way, it can be an exciting place to learn, develop and grow as therapists.
