Supervision, to me, means a collaboration between the supervisor and the supervisee, and my role within this relationship is to encourage, support, and work with the supervisee, to promote growth within their practice. Being a therapist myself, I understand how important the supervisor/supervisee relationship is, and my role is to ensure that the supervisee understands that just because I hold the title of “supervisor” it does not mean that I am the expert. Together, our relationship will promote the growth and understanding that is needed to create a healthy, knowledgeable and informed practice.

However, that said, I consider that safe and ethical practice is paramount and I will challenge the supervisee when and where I feel it is necessary. 

As a therapist, I have worked with both male and female adults who have experienced sexual abuse and trauma.  I have worked with clients with relationship difficulties, bereavement, anxiety, depression and addiction and childhood neglect. I have trained and have experience in working from a person centred modality, and have also studied Polyvagal Theory and recently received training in Rewind Therapy and Internal Family Systems. By training and having an interest in many different modalities and principles, I have amassed a diverse knowledge and experience of the many difficulties that clients bring to sessions.
