I am trained with SDS for my clinical supervision (L4), working in independent practice and with organisations. For my therapeutic practice, I trained at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust. I have a broad portfolio of work supported by training in face-to-face and online clinical supervision, and psychotherapy using a relational approach. I am passionate about improving communication and relationships in work with a multidisciplinary team of professionals. You can expect a professional and respectful warm welcome, empathetic listening and understanding of issues important in support of your work. We can negotiate how we work together and establish a trusting and confidential supervisory relationship. I will promote compliance with ethical standards following ethical and organisational requirements. I will honour the trust you will place on me and work collaboratively to meet your supervision needs. I offer a non-discriminatory clinical supervision environment that values any social, cultural, and physical differences.

I have 'supervisee empathy' (I understand what it's like to be a supervisee); I'm patient and give consistent support throughout. I nurture therapists to develop their therapeutic skills.

I am flexible and responsive to work successfully Online and In-person with therapists from different abilities and cultural backgrounds.

I receive great feedback and achieve excellent results.
