Clinical Supervision
What is Clinical Supervision
Regular supervision is not only an ethical responsibility but also an important part of working to professional standards, protecting both the therapist and the client . As such, it is required by the Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions, published by the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP):
‘We will keep skills and knowledge up to date by … reviewing our knowledge and skills in supervision or discussion with experienced practitioners’ (paragraph 14b).
It provides an opportunity for therapists to reflect on and review all aspects of their practice, discussing individual cases in depth and reviewing or adapt their practice to improve their effectiveness in the room.
Supervision is a collegial process, where work is explored to ensure the therapist is working ethically, within their competency and within professional boundaries in a safe and confidential space, where they can reflect and discuss all aspects of their practice, without breaching client confidentiality. This allows them to reflect on the impact of their work on their personal and follow the highest professional standards.
Psychosexual & EMDR Therapist and Supervisor
I am a highly experienced COSRT-accredited and Registered Psychosexual Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor with extensive experience teaching diploma and beyond. I have worked in various counselling settings with people of different ages, social, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds.
Warm and approachable, I work with supervisees to develop and expand their understanding of client issues, ways of working, transference and counter-transference issues, ethical dilemmas, theoretical knowledge, professional boundaries, and legal issues that may arise. This enables them to reflect on client work and provides an opportunity to gain greater confidence in understanding the therapeutic relationship and their role in it.

Psychosexual therapist and Supervisor
I see supervision as a mutual learning process and spend time getting to know you, from your individual approach to how you would like to develop and grow professionally and personally, finding a way to work with any challenges you may face in a way that is ethically considered, collaborative and in the best interests for both you and your client.
I draw upon a range of different therapeutic models and hope to offer an open, collegial relationship that feels safe to explore anything.
