Clinical Supervision for Therapists and Counsellors
Alongside case reflection, we may pay attention to identity, power, nervous system regulation, and the realities of contemporary practice. I aim to create a supervisory space that is warm, thoughtful and non-hierarchical: a place where your questions, uncertainties and growing edges are welcomed, not judged.
Who I Work With
- Qualified therapists and counsellors
- Counsellors in training
- Therapists and practitioners integrating, or curious about, Internal Family Systems (IFS)
- Counsellors and therapists seeking neurodivergence-affirming or queer-affirming supervision
- Therapists working with grief, childlessness, identity shifts or complex life transitions
- IFS practitioners
- Others working in aligned helping or holding roles
I aim to ground my work in cultural humility and a de-pathologising stance. I am attentive to the ways power, minority stress, identity and relational dynamics can shape both therapy and supervision.
How I Work as a Supervisor
IFS offers a particularly rich lens for supervision. Together we may:
- Notice and gently track the “parts” that can be activated in you as a therapist. These may include parts that are striving, protective, self-shaming, urgent – or that familiar companion: imposter syndrome.
- Support unblending from these parts so you can be more present with your clients.
- Explore parallel process and relational dynamics in the therapeutic space.
- Increase your access to Self-energy (calm, curiosity, compassion and confidence) in your clinical decision-making.
You can read more about how IFS informs both my therapy and supervision work in this article. You can also find out more on the IFS Institute website.
Supervision with me is not only about managing risk or reviewing technique. It is also about deepening your reflective capacity, expanding your self-understanding in the therapist role, and sustaining your practice over time.
I am neurodivergence-aware and attentive to sensory and relational differences in both practitioners and clients. I offer queer-affirming, grief-aware and trauma-informed supervision, with sensitivity to identity negotiation, minority stress and the cultural contexts that shape our work.
Where helpful, we may also reflect on the practical realities of private practice: boundaries, pacing, caseload, and the business aspects of running a therapy practice. I believe that a supported, well-resourced therapist is best placed to support their clients.
Above all, I see supervision as compassionate witnessing of your work and of the therapeutic space you are holding.
Supervision Offerings
One-to-One Supervision
Group Supervision
Ad Hoc Supervision & Consultation
One-off sessions or a short series of appointments for focused clinical reflection. These may be particularly helpful if you are:
- Integrating the IFS model into your work
- Supporting neurodivergent clients
- Working with a client bringing childlessness, fertility issues or complex grief
- Navigating identity and power dynamics in session

If you are interested in exploring supervision together, I invite you to get in touch via my contact form so we can arrange an initial conversation.
Is this supervision the right fit for me?
My approach tends to suit therapists who value reflective depth, relational thinking and a non-pathologising, neurodivergence-affirming perspective. People I work with often describe themselves as thoughtful, sensitive, or quietly questioning aspects of their practice.
If you are unsure whether we would be a good fit, you are very welcome to get in touch to arrange an initial conversation.
