Supervision for trainee and qualified therapists.

My approach to supervision is rooted in the existential tradition, with its emphasis on curiosity, dialogue, responsibility, and the lived realities of both therapist and client. Alongside this foundation, I draw from a broad range of therapeutic approaches and disciplines. I am interested in how developments in psychology, philosophy, neuroscience, culture, technology, spirituality, and the wider social world shape our understanding of human experience and influence the work we do with clients.

I see supervision as a collaborative inquiry rather than a process of expert instruction. While I bring knowledge, experience, and perspective, I am equally interested in helping supervisees develop their own therapeutic voice, thinking, and confidence. Together we explore not only what is happening in the therapy room, but also how we as therapists are participating in and responding to the therapeutic encounter.

At the centre of my approach to supervision is the belief that the therapist is one of the primary instruments of therapy. Alongside clinical thinking and theoretical understanding, I am interested in the therapist as a whole person: how they think, what moves them, what they value, and how they respond to the demands of the work. Supervision provides a space to reflect on the interplay of heart, mind, and will; our emotional resonance with clients, our ways of understanding their experience, and the choices we make in the therapeutic encounter. By bringing these dimensions into awareness, supervision can become a place not only of professional development but also of personal and existential growth, deepening our capacity to meet clients with both skill and humanity.

I have a particular interest in the edges of psychotherapy: the places where established models meet new questions, where different traditions intersect, and where wider cultural and intellectual developments challenge us to rethink what therapy is and what it might become. Supervision can be a place not only to consolidate practice but also to cultivate creativity, critical thinking, and professional growth.

I offer supervision to both trainee and qualified therapists, working across a range of modalities and settings. Whether you are seeking support with your clinical work, developing your professional identity, or looking for a reflective space to think more deeply about practice, I aim to provide a supervisory relationship that is thoughtful, challenging, supportive, and grounded.
