Professional Counselling for Emotional Well-being

​

Clinical Supervisor for Counsellors and Counselling Students (Student discount available)

profile pic2 (2).jpg

 I am  dedicated to providing professional and compassionate counselling services to individuals of all ages. My approach is centered on creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their emotions and experiences. Each session is catered to your needs with a tailored plan just for you.

It was after my own trauma that I decided to train as a counsellor and as a result, I now specialise in trauma related issues. I am particularly interested in childhood trauma and have now completed my specialised trauma training with CAMHS. I work across all ages and am Neurodivergent and LBTQ+ Informed

​​

​

 At the centre of my practice is the therapeutic relationship. I aim to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported as you make sense of your experiences. I encourage self‑compassion, emotional awareness, and personal growth, helping you move toward a life that feels more grounded, meaningful, and aligned with who you are.

​

I really enjoy my work and creating a strong therapeutic relationship with all clients. 

Using various strategies including creative sessions using arts and crafts, I hope to support you in making changes in your life and realising your potential.

 

I also offer Clinical Supervision to other Counsellors and discounted rates for Counselling Student

​

I provide adult counselling in a safe, confidential, and supportive space where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. My approach focuses on helping you gain clarity, develop healthier coping strategies, and navigate challenges such as stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, or major life transitions. My goal is to support you in building resilience and improving your overall well-being.

Fees £60 payable before sessions

I provide counselling to children and young people using a warm, creative, and flexible approach. I draw on a variety of therapeutic tools—including prompt cards, sand tray work, superhero-themed therapy, and Emotional Freedom Techniques—to help them express themselves in ways that feel natural and safe. By using playful and imaginative methods, I support children and young people to explore their feelings, build confidence, and develop healthy coping skills at their own pace.

Fees £60 payable before sessions

I provide clinical supervision in a supportive, reflective space where practitioners can develop their skills, enhance self-awareness, and maintain safe, ethical practice. I use the Seven-Eyed Model and work creatively to help supervisees explore their work from multiple perspectives. I offer supervision to both qualified counsellors and trainees, with reduced-fee options available for those in training. My aim is to encourage growth, confidence, and professional development at every stage of your counselling journey

Clinical Supervision for Counsellors and Trainees

A Supportive, Reflective Space for Your Professional Growth

​

I offer clinical supervision that is collaborative, thoughtful, and grounded in ethical practice. My approach is shaped by my pluralistic training, which recognises that different practitioners need different things at different times. Together, we co‑create a supervisory process that honours your individuality, your modality, and your preferred ways of learning.

Supervision with me is a space to slow down, reflect deeply, and strengthen both your confidence and your clinical judgement.

​

My Approach

​

As a pluralistically trained supervisor, I draw on a range of models and perspectives, adapting our work to suit your developmental stage and therapeutic orientation. I also integrate creative techniques where helpful — such as visual mapping, metaphor, timelines, objects, or expressive methods — to support deeper reflection and new perspectives on your client work.

Key elements of my approach include:

  • A balance of support and gentle challenge

  • Space to explore your internal responses and reflective process

  • Attention to the therapeutic relationship and client dynamics

  • Integration of theory, skills, and ethical considerations

  • Respect for your autonomy and emerging professional identity

  • Optional use of creative or experiential methods to enrich understanding

​

What We Explore Together

​

Supervision is a place to bring your whole professional self — your questions, uncertainties, successes, and growing edges. Together we explore:

  • Client work and case conceptualisation

  • Ethical dilemmas and professional boundaries

  • Risk, safeguarding, and client welfare

  • Diversity, culture, and power dynamics

  • Your personal responses, patterns, and countertransference

  • How your values and experiences shape your practice

  • Creative ways of understanding client processes and therapeutic stuck points

These explorations strengthen your capacity to think clearly, work safely, and stay grounded in your therapeutic intentions.

 

For Trainees

​

I provide a supportive environment for trainees to develop confidence, competence, and a strong ethical foundation. My pluralistic stance means we work in a way that suits your learning style, integrating creative or structured approaches as needed to help you link theory to practice.

For Qualified Practitioners

​

For experienced counsellors, supervision offers a space to refine your practice, prevent drift, and maintain a reflective stance. Creative techniques can be used to deepen insight, explore complex dynamics, or refresh your thinking when you feel stuck or stretched.

The Supervision Relationship

​

I see supervision as a collaborative partnership. I do not position myself as the expert who holds all the answers; instead, I work alongside you, offering perspective, containment, and guidance while honouring your autonomy as a practitioner. Together, we hold client welfare at the centre of our work.

 

Session Structure

​

Supervision sessions typically include:

  • A check‑in and shared agenda

  • Exploration of client work

  • Reflective dialogue

  • Ethical and professional considerations

  • Optional creative or experiential exercises

  • Review and next steps

The structure is flexible and responsive to what you need on the day.
