I welcome the opportunity to work with professionals from diverse backgrounds and professions, including student counsellors, qualified counsellors, life coaches, youth workers, social workers, and those in other helping professions.
I trained as an Integrative Counsellor taking an MSc at Greenwich University. I have since had various trainings including, CBT (Institute of Counselling), EMDR (EMDR Academy), EMDR Child & Adolescent (Child Trauma Therapy Centre), Child Development Research for Professionals Working with Children, Young People and Families (Tavistock). I have also completed a vast range of specific short trainings/workshops, including, working with ASD, working with trauma, existential therapy, Freudian therapy, to name but a few.
I gained my Certificate for Supervision at Metanoia and I then went on to study for the Diploma with Robin Shohet at the CSTD London.
I work with various supervision models in mind:
- ‘CLEAR’ supervision model (Hawkins & Shohet, 2006)
- Seven-eyed supervision model (Hawkins & Shohet, 2012)
- Extended model of Clarkson’s (1992) ‘brief supervision checklist model’
For me, principles of equality are key elements to the supervisory relationship and competencies for multicultural supervision are at the core of my approach – [Rapp, H. (1996). Working with difference: culturally competent supervision]. With this in mind, I offer a safe, non-judgemental space in which to come and explore your client work within a mutually respectful, collaborative relationship. I am happy to negotiate the supervisory journey, as co-driver but equally happy to take the wheel as and when required.
I believe it is essential for the supervisory space to be a place for you to address the thoughts and feelings that arise within you from your work with clients, accordingly I will work with you holistically, as a whole person whilst also attending to the ‘business’ at hand.

I match frequency with your needs i.e., 1 hour fortnightly, 1 hour monthly, 1.5 hours monthly.
