Supervision

I offer clinical supervision to trainee and qualified psychotherapists.

My clinical approach

Attachment theory is the bedrock of my practice. I am also informed by psychoanalytic thinking, particularly relational psychoanalysis, and contemporary theories of trauma and dissociation. I have completed level 1 in Sensorimotor psychotherapy, and levels 1 and 2 in Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR). 

My approach to supervision

Paramount is the safety and wellbeing of the client, and the wellbeing of the therapist. To these ends, I see supervision as a secure base from which you as a supervisee, can feel safe to explore and reflect, develop your skills, and grow in confidence in your own thinking and in finding your unique way of being as a clinician. In my experience supervision at its best is a collaboration, a relationship in which we can think together, explore alternative perspectives and approaches, increase awareness of unconscious processes/communications, and attachment dynamics.

I work from a relational perspective – the Bowlby Centre’s values of offering psychotherapy with warmth, respect, readiness to relate, free from discrimination, and without pathologising survival strategies are dear to me, and reflect my own values in offering supervision.
