Clinical Supervision

“Relational Supervision is a collaborative process with supervisees, supervisor and often (but not always) an organisation. The relationship evolves as it is continually changing and being co-created through a dialogical process.”
— Karl Gregory and Sheila McCathy-Dodd

Clinical Supervision & Reflective Practice

Supporting your professional development, resilience, and effectiveness through mindful practice

As an experienced BACP Accredited Integrative Counsellor with a Relational Supervision Diploma and over 15 years in the field, I provide comprehensive supervision services both face-to-face and online. I currently hold supervision contracts with the University of Bristol and The Sanctuary (Bristol), bringing institutional experience alongside my extensive private practice background.

My approach integrates mindfulness principles throughout the supervisory process, helping practitioners develop present-moment awareness, compassionate self-reflection, and mindful professional practice.

Individual Clinical Supervision

One-to-one professional support for counsellors and psychotherapists

Working with both private practitioners and those within organisations, I understand that supervision extends far beyond case management. Together, we explore everything that impacts your therapeutic space through a mindful, reflective lens:

Client work - case conceptualisation, therapeutic relationship dynamics, interventions, and mindful presence with clients

Professional development - building confidence, refining skills, ethical considerations, and cultivating mindful awareness in practice

Practice management - referrals, boundaries, business development (for private practitioners) approached with mindful intention

Personal wellbeing - managing the emotional demands of the work, preventing burnout through mindfulness-based self-care strategies

Risk assessment and management - ensuring safe, effective practice through mindful attention and awareness

My approach helps you develop your own internal supervisor, building the reflective capacity and mindful awareness essential for ongoing professional growth. We integrate mindfulness techniques to enhance your ability to stay present, manage difficult emotions, and maintain therapeutic boundaries.

£65 per 50 minute session

Group Supervision

Collaborative learning in a supportive peer environment

Group supervision offers unique benefits through shared learning, peer support, and diverse perspectives. Working with 4-6 participants, we create a safe, mindful space for:

Case presentation and group consultation with mindful listening and compassionate inquiry

Exploring challenging dynamics and ethical dilemmas through present-moment awareness

Peer learning and mutual support fostered through mindful communication

Reducing professional isolation by creating mindful connections with fellow practitioners

Cost-effective supervision option that incorporates brief mindfulness practices

Sessions begin with a brief mindfulness practice to ground participants and create a focused, present-moment awareness that enhances the quality of reflection and learning.

About Me

With over 15 years of experience in mental health services, I bring a wealth of knowledge from diverse settings including NHS primary care, university counselling services, employee assistance programmes, and extensive private practice.

Professional Background:

  • BACP Accredited Integrative Counsellor

  • Relational Supervision Diploma (2019)

  • Mindfulness Certificate (2014) - bringing evidence-based mindfulness approaches to supervision

  • Foundation CBT Certificate (BPS Accredited)

  • Current supervisor for University of Bristol, UWE, and Bristol Sanctuary

  • Extensive experience in risk assessment and crisis intervention

My Supervision Approach: I create safe, compassionate spaces for professionals to speak freely, reflect critically, and grow. My facilitation style is warm, grounded, and psychologically informed, balancing support with appropriate challenge. I integrate mindfulness practices throughout supervision to help practitioners develop greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and present-moment attention. I understand the unique pressures facing modern practitioners and tailor my approach to meet your specific professional context and development needs, always with mindful awareness at the foundation.

Mindfulness Integration: Drawing on my formal mindfulness training, I weave mindfulness principles and practices throughout supervision sessions. This includes brief guided meditations, mindful breathing exercises, body awareness practices, and techniques for maintaining mindful presence during challenging client work. These approaches help supervisees develop greater emotional resilience, clearer decision-making, and enhanced therapeutic presence.
