Counselling Supervision for Counsellors and Coaches in the UK
I offer counselling supervision for trainee and qualified therapists in a supportive, collaborative space. My approach is trauma-informed and person-centred, integrating an understanding of the nervous system, attachment, IFS, and Focusing.
Supervision sessions support your reflective practice by reviewing client work and exploring your own internal responses, patterns, and ongoing professional development.
I work with counsellors and life and health coaches on a one-to-one or group basis who work with adults and teenagers in both short- and long-term settings. This includes experience with neurodivergent clients in agency settings and private practice.
Sessions are available privately or through organisations, in person, online, or by telephone.
Fees: £60 per hour or £75 for 90 minutes.
Concessions are available for students and those within their first year of qualification.
Focus of Supervision
Supervision is a reflective space focused on your professional practice and client work.
Your Clients
I’m here to support all aspects of your client work—progress, presenting issues, patterns, risk, and ethical dilemmas—while always holding the uniqueness of each client in mind.
How we work together
We’ll explore your current approach and build on your existing knowledge, helping you feel more confident and flexible in your practice. Our work supports both your clients and your ongoing development as a practitioner.
My approach in more detail
Within supervision, I may draw on a range of perspectives, including attachment theory, IFS, neuroscience, and Polyvagal theory, to support your ethical and reflective practice.
I also invite creativity into our sessions. This might include metaphors, visualisations, or references from books and films to help make sense of theory, deepen self-understanding, and gently open up new ways of working with clients.
Therapeutic Relationship
We may take a “fly-on-the-wall” perspective, gently observing what’s happening between you and your client. This non-judgemental exploration can offer valuable insight into attachment patterns, boundaries, transference, and countertransference, as well as moments of connection and disconnection.
This includes noticing when the relationship feels strained, stuck, or misattuned, and exploring how repair can strengthen trust.
We may also explore how your own internal responses can inform and guide the work.
Together, we can then consider how to work with different dynamics that feel safe and manageable, supporting depth and a stronger therapeutic relationship.
This sits alongside attention to your own internal responses and reflections in supervision.
Your Internal Process - Self Care
Supervision is also a space to explore your internal experience in sessions – your thoughts, feelings, bodily responses, personal triggers, and use of self, and how these may influence the therapeutic relationship.
We can also consider what is happening for you more broadly within your work setting, in the therapeutic relationship, and within the supervisory relationship itself, including patterns that may emerge across these areas. Supporting you to feel grounded, safe, and confident in your practice.
There is space here for uncertainty, reflection, and not having immediate answers.
Self-care and self-compassion are an important part of this work, alongside curiosity and care for your own well-being.
Supervisory Relationship
Fostering a safe and supportive space is central to our work together. Our supervisory relationship is at the heart of this process, and I aim to create a warm, trusting environment where you feel able to bring all aspects of your work.
We may also use our working relationship as part of the reflective process, noticing what emerges between us as part of your learning. This can include noticing how you experience the supervision space itself, alongside your client work.
This includes exploring what is going well, as well as areas of challenge or curiosity, so that you feel supported in developing your reflective practice. You don’t have to hold the process of reflection on your own.
The wider context in supervision
The wider context, you, your client, and I sit within.
We will also consider the wider context in which you, your clients, and I are all working. This includes ethical, organisational, cultural, legal, and safeguarding frameworks, as well as relevant policies and professional responsibilities. We can also explore ethical dilemmas as they arise in your work, supporting you to think them through in a grounded and reflective way.
Alongside this, we may explore how diversity, identity, and systemic influences—both historical and present-day—shape your clients’ experiences and the work you do together.
We consider how these wider influences show up in the therapeutic work and inform ethical, culturally responsive practice.
