Supervision should feel nourishing and a safe space for you to bring anything that is impacting you in fulfilling your role, supporting others. I am here to offer you that space, within the context of a warm and welcoming supervisory relationship.
I hold a Diploma in Clinical Supervision and have provided clinical supervision, peer mentoring and line management in various settings including UK wide organisations and smaller, local charities since 2014. I have also mentored and supervised students working in private practice.
I am Senior Accredited with the NCPS, accredited as an EMDR Practitioner by EMDR Europe and a qualified Children and Young People's Therapist. I have set up my own private practice and an in-house counselling service for a care sector organisation. I am well qualified and experienced to support you in working with trauma and wide range of client demographics in various organisational settings.
Please contact me for an initial chat if you are a Counsellor, or work in a helping profession and are interested in receiving clinical supervision. Reduced fees may be negotiated for students. I am currently welcoming a small number of new supervisees.
I offer either 60 minute or 90 minute supervision sessions depending on your needs. Please refer to my fee section for current rates.
EMDR Therapy is a powerful, evidence based treatment which uses bilateral eye movements or other forms of bilateral movement to process and alleviate post trauma symptoms. Suitable for treating a wide range of traumatic experiences which often underpin anxiety and depression and post trauma symptoms. Traumatic experiences are distressing events that occur outside our window of tolerance and can leave us with unhelpful reactions to present day triggers, such as panic attacks and phobias or unexplained physical sensations.
I am an experienced, EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner, and I have successfully helped clients to recover from their traumatic experiences with this approach since 2017.
I am also registered as a Rewind Technique practitioner with the International Association for Rewind Trauma Therapy. Rewind is a fast, effective treatment which stops involuntary recall of traumatic memories and PTSD symptoms. Described as 'closure without disclosure' this tech is suitable for survivors and witnesses of life threatening events.
EMDR and Rewind are both evidence based. Screening for suitability essential. I am trained and experienced in offering EMDR Therapy video sessions which are as effective as in person sessions.
Counselling is a form of talking therapy that can be helpful to support you when experiencing mild to moderate distress. I tend to start with a counselling approach when clients don't know what would help them best. Talking therapies are sometimes described as 'top down' approaches which mean that we start work with the thoughts that you are having and explore these together. The process of sharing your concerns in the presence of an empathic, non-judgmental Counsellor is a therapeutic experience that can be enough to alleviate our distress. Sometimes a 'bottom up' approach may be more helpful, for example, if you are experiencing physical symptoms including panic attacks, nightmares, flashbacks or other trauma symptoms, EMDR Therapy may be more suitable.
Some issues that may be causing you distress might be financial worries, redundancy, career change and transition. Work place harassment, work related stress and conflict with employers can also impact our mental health. Family issues such as juggling parenting and caring for ageing parents can leave us feeling overwhelmed. Other major life events that can present us with challenges to our mental wellbeing include relationship breakdown, separation and divorce, loss and bereavement, infertility, miscarriage and post natal depression.
I have personally found therapy to be hugely helpful in supporting me through my own difficult life experiences. It would be my privilege to help you with yours. I can't make your problems go away, but together we can work on making them feel more manageable.
Parenting and caring for children and young people is hard, right? Getting support for a young person's mental health can be challenging, and with NHS waiting times of two years or more, where do you go for advice? I offer parents and carers bespoke consultations and guide you to helpful services and resources for children and young people. I can provide a sounding board about a particular concern that you may have about your young person's mental health. I am a qualified, experienced Children and Young People's Therapist and hold a Diploma in HE Counselling Children and Young People. I have supported parents and carers since 2012 and counselled children and young people since 2013. I have been a helpline listener for parents and carers, counselled young people in secondary and higher education, working in multi-disciplinary teams, managed a primary school based counselling service and my private practice. I have completed extensive continuing professional development on issues impacting young people. I am neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ affirming in my practice, and have experience of working sensitively with clients with autism, ADHD and other neurotypes. I don't work with young clients at present, choosing now to focus on supporting parents and carers. I am also informed by my personal experiences of being a parent, and navigating the challenges of supporting my own children through to adolescence and adulthood. I can offer consultations via phone, video or email. How may I support you?
