Hi there! I’m happy to work individually or with two or more supervisees, as recommended by the BACP for time allocation. I also offer supervisory supervision for counselling supervisors and supervision for those facilitating psychoeducation and group therapy.

I’ve been a counsellor and supervisor for 22 years, working in primary care and college settings. I’ve also been a college lecturer, coordinating the Level 4 Therapeutic Counselling and MA/Diploma in Education (counselling) courses. Throughout my career, I’ve been involved in supervision.

As a practice counsellor at Beech House Surgery Denbigh, I supervised student counsellors in placement. As a lecturer in Counselling, I’ve been involved in facilitating supervision groups as part of the course. I’ve also been involved in peer supervision since 2005, supervising college counsellors.  

I adopt an assimilative integrative approach as a counsellor and supervisor, allowing me to adapt to my clients’ and supervisees’ needs. I utilise a person-centred approach, incorporating strategies from various therapeutic approaches like CBT, Gestalt, NLP, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. I can supervise person-centred work or adopt an integrative approach. My supervision model, influenced by Hawkins and Shoet, considers seven aspects: the client, interventions, the client-counsellor relationship, the counsellor’s self-awareness, the counsellor-supervisor relationship, the supervisor’s self-awareness, and the wider context, including ethical issues, agency protocols, and external influences. I adhere to the BACP ethical framework to support my supervisees’ work and ensure they operate ethically and safely within its principles.
