Supervision for Counsellors and Psychotherapists

I offer counselling supervision online for qualified therapists seeking professional support and development. If you are a therapist, counsellor or psychotherapist looking for high quality supervision, then I am ready to hear from you.

Why choose supervision with me

Finding the right supervision can be one of the most important decisions for your professional growth as a therapist.

I offer online clinical supervision that’s accessible and personalised, allowing you to enhance your practice wherever you’re based. Through our sessions, I aim to support you in delivering effective, ethical care to your clients, with a focus on reflective practice and ongoing development.

As an Accredited member of the BACP, specializing in GSRD (Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diversity) therapy, I offer online clinical supervision that combines pluralistic approaches with specific expertise in working with diverse client populations.

My supervision style emphasizes creating a collaborative, supportive space where you can explore clinical challenges, develop your practice, and enhance your therapeutic effectiveness.

Supervision Services

Individual Clinical Supervision

I provide one-to-one clinical supervision. In our sessions, we’ll focus on enhancing your therapeutic skills, exploring complex cases, and maintaining ethical standards. The aim is to help you engage deeply with your work, gain fresh perspectives, and refine your practice in a supportive environment.

Specialisation in GSRD-Informed Practice

As a practitioner with expertise in Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diversity (GSRD), I offer supervision that is inclusive and sensitive to the nuances of working with diverse client groups. If you’re a therapist working with clients from GSRD backgrounds, I can help you navigate the specific challenges and considerations involved in this area, ensuring that your practice is informed and inclusive.

Frequency and Scheduling Options

I understand that everyone has unique needs when it comes to supervision frequency. Whether you require fortnightly, monthly, or ad-hoc sessions, we can establish a schedule that fits your professional demands. My goal is to provide consistent and structured support, helping you maintain a high standard of practice while managing your workload effectively.

Supervision Approach

Pluralistic Framework

My supervision approach is grounded in a pluralistic framework, which values the diverse range of therapeutic approaches and techniques that can support clients. This flexible and collaborative model allows us to adapt our supervision to suit your unique style and the specific needs of your clients.

Integration of GSRD Perspectives

With a strong foundation in Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diversity (GSRD) issues, I incorporate GSRD-informed perspectives into our supervision. This approach is particularly valuable if you work with clients from diverse backgrounds, as it ensures that your practice is both inclusive and attuned to the unique experiences of these clients.

Focus on Professional Development

Supervision is not just about case review; it’s a dedicated space for your ongoing professional growth. We’ll work together to identify areas where you want to develop, whether that’s enhancing specific therapeutic skills, expanding your theoretical knowledge, or building confidence in challenging areas of practice. My role is to facilitate this growth, helping you to develop a practice that is both professionally fulfilling and highly effective for your clients.

Emphasis on Reflective Practice

Reflective practice is central to my supervision approach. Our sessions provide you with the opportunity to step back from your work and consider your responses, decisions, and challenges from a broader perspective. Through supervision I hope that you can gain deeper insights into your practice, supporting you in making more intentional, ethical, and effective choices with your clients.

Who It’s For

Qualified Therapists Seeking Ongoing Supervision

This supervision service is designed for qualified therapists, counsellors, and psychotherapists who are looking for a reliable, supportive, and experienced supervisor to guide their ongoing practice. Whether you’re newly qualified or have years of experience, I provide the space and insight necessary for your continued growth as a professional.

Practitioners Working with GSRD Clients (or Not)

While I specialise in Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diversity (GSRD)-informed practice, my supervision is open to practitioners from all backgrounds. Whether or not your client base includes GSRD populations, you’ll benefit from a supervision style that is inclusive, open-minded, and adaptable to various therapeutic approaches and client needs.

International Practitioners (UK/Europe Focus)

With the flexibility of online supervision, I can work with therapists across the UK and Europe, offering a consistent, high-quality supervision experience regardless of location.

Key Topics Covered in Supervision

In our supervision sessions, we address a range of essential topics that support your growth, enhance your clinical skills, and ensure that your practice remains ethical, effective, and sustainable. Here are some of the main areas we focus on:

  • Clinical Case Conceptualisation – We’ll develop and refine your skills in case conceptualisation. We’ll work on understanding client issues in a structured way, helping you to formulate and adapt your approach to meet each client’s specific needs.
  • Ethical Decision-Making – Navigating ethical dilemmas is a critical aspect of therapeutic practice. During our sessions, I will support you in handling challenging ethical situations, ensuring that your decisions are both well-informed and aligned with professional standards.
  • Cultural Competency – In an increasingly diverse world, cultural competency is essential for effective therapy. We’ll explore the cultural contexts of your clients, helping you to engage with their experiences in a respectful and informed way.
  • Professional Boundaries – Setting and maintaining boundaries is crucial for both client well-being and therapist resilience. I support you in identifying and upholding appropriate boundaries in your practice, discussing any boundary challenges that may arise and strategies to manage them effectively.
  • Self-Care and Burnout Prevention – Therapeutic work can be demanding, and self-care is vital to sustaining a long-term practice. This focus on self-care ensures that you’re able to offer the best support to your clients while taking care of yourself.
  • Marketing and Business Development – For therapists who are self-employed or looking to grow their private practice, supervision can also cover aspects of marketing and business development. We can discuss ways to ethically promote your services, reach your target audience, and manage the practicalities of running a private practice.

Professional Standards

My supervision practice is firmly rooted in the ethical guidelines and standards set out by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). As an Accredited member of the BACP, I adhere to their framework to ensure that our work together upholds the highest standards of professionalism, confidentiality, and ethical integrity.

Supervision Contract

To establish a clear understanding of roles and responsibilities, we will agree on a supervision contract at the outset of our work together. This document outlines the commitments and expectations on both sides, including the frequency of sessions, confidentiality protocols, and any relevant administrative details. The contract ensures transparency and helps create a structured, supportive supervision relationship.

Confidentiality and Documentation

Maintaining client confidentiality is paramount. In our supervision sessions, I follow strict confidentiality guidelines and make sure my privacy policy reflects my current way of working. I also keep secure brief notes of our sessions, in line with professional standards.

Professional Requirements

I meet all necessary professional requirements for providing supervision, being qualified in supervision and having had my own private practice for more than seven years. I hold accredited membership with the BACP, have valid professional indemnity insurance and I’m continuously updating my knowledge and skills through relevant CPD (Continuing Professional Development). I’m rarely not in a training course!

Getting Started

Initial Consultation Process

Starting supervision begins with a brief initial consultation where we’ll discuss your specific needs, goals, and any particular areas of focus. This session gives us a chance to explore whether we’re a good fit and helps me understand how best to support your professional journey. It’s a straightforward, informal way for you to get a sense of my approach and decide if it aligns with what you’re looking for in a supervisor.

Fee Structure

We’ll go over session rates, options for ongoing sessions, and any relevant payment details during our initial consultation. I base my fees on what is affordable for you, with a range from £80 to £120 for a 90 minute session.

Frequently Asked Questions

I understand that starting with a new supervisor may come with questions. I’m happy to address any queries during our initial consultation, whether it’s about my supervision style, what to expect in sessions, or any other aspect of the supervision process. My aim is to ensure you feel fully informed and comfortable as we begin our work together.

How often do I need supervision?

The frequency of supervision depends on your professional needs and any regulatory requirements you may have. it is usually somewhere between one hour for every six client hours, to 1.5 hours per month.

Can I try one session to see if we’re a good fit?

Yes, the free initial consultation is designed to help us assess compatibility and discuss your needs. After this you can book a single session and see how it feels.

Is online supervision as effective as in-person sessions?

I believe so but there isn’t enough reliable research to say yes or no. Online supervision offers the same depth and quality as face-to-face sessions, with the added benefits of flexibility and accessibility.

What happens if I need to cancel or move a session?

I have a clear cancellation policy that we can review together but I ask for at least 72 hours notification otherwise I will ask you to pay for the session in full.

Do you supervise newly qualified therapists?

Yes, I work with therapists at all stages of their careers, from newly qualified practitioners to seasoned professionals. My supervision approach is tailored to meet you at your current level and support your growth.

Do you supervise trainees?

I take on a limited number of trainees at any one time. Please contact me to find out more.
