I am an experienced counselling supervisor offering specialist supervision to therapists working in psychosexual therapy, relationship and couple work, and a broad range of talking therapies. I support both trainee and qualified practitioners, providing a thoughtful, containing, and collaborative supervisory space that encourages ethical, reflective, and confident practice.

My supervisory work is grounded in a strong understanding of psychosexual and relational dynamics, including intimacy difficulties, sexual dysfunction, desire discrepancies, identity, trauma, attachment, and the complexities that can arise when working with individuals and couples. I also supervise therapists offering general counselling and psychotherapy, supporting work with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relational patterns, and life transitions.

I aim to create a supervision relationship that feels safe, respectful, and intellectually curious. I value open dialogue and believe supervision should support not only client work, but also the therapist’s professional development, wellbeing, and self-awareness. My approach integrates theory, clinical reflection, ethical consideration, and the emotional impact of the work, while remaining responsive to each supervisee’s modality, experience level, and practice context.

If you are looking for a supportive, experienced supervisor with specialist knowledge in psychosexual and relationship therapies, I would be happy to discuss whether we are a good fit.

Supervision sessions offer space to:

Reflect on clinical material and relational dynamics

Explore psychosexual and couple work with confidence and sensitivity

Develop clinical insight, boundaries, and ethical decision-making

Consider transference, countertransference, and the use of self

Support professional growth, resilience, and reflective practice

I work in a collaborative, non-judgemental way and welcome supervisees from diverse backgrounds, identities, and stages of their career. Supervision is available for therapists working in private practice, organisations, or training placements.

What to Expect in the First Session:

In our initial session, we will focus on building a strong, trusting supervisory relationship. We will discuss your professional background, your areas of interest, and any specific goals or challenges you’d like to address. We will also explore your preferred supervision style and the type of support you’re seeking.

During this first meeting, we’ll establish a clear framework for our supervision, including confidentiality, boundaries, and scheduling. We’ll also set the tone for open communication, reflection, and ongoing professional growth.

My goal is to ensure that you feel supported, understood, and empowered in your practice from the very start.
