My approach
Helping you get more in touch with the felt sense of your client work
As your supervisor, I will help you get in touch with your own experience of both your client and supervisory relationships. We'll use Hawkins and Shohet's seven-eyed model to provide a broad and intentional support to your client work
I work with counsellors and psychotherapists from all theoretical backgrounds, and I also welcome spiritual directors, coaches, bodyworkers, and others who work relationally with people.
Whatever your modality, if you're committed to reflective, ethical practice, there's likely a lot we can explore together.
What working with me feels like
Supervision with me is grounded in person-centred philosophy: understanding that meaning emerges from within the process itself, not from frameworks applied to it from outside. In practice, that means I'll help you slow down and get in touch with your ‘felt sense’ of your work; that unclear sense of something you can feel about your client, but you haven’t put into words yet
As your supervisor, I'll protect the pace, autonomy, and dignity of your work as a practitioner, and of your clients' process. I don't see my role as diagnosing or explaining what's happening in your work, but as creating the conditions where your own understanding can emerge. That might mean staying present with disintegration as well as growth; being with the uncertainty and not-knowing, without rushing to restore coherence or tidy things up. New understanding tends to arise from within the process, not from having it explained
We'll include all three supervision functions; formative, normative and restorative. So I'll also be honest with you, and encourage you to bring your whole self, including any responses that feel confusing, uncomfortable, or hard to name. Complex relational dynamics like dependency, longing, or the pull to rescue are worth looking at together. I'll welcome the parts of you feeling depleted or worried, and hope you'll feel seen and more settled in yourself through our work together
I hold a wide view of what shapes the people we work with: not just personal history, but the social, cultural, and environmental realities of the world they're living in. Whatever you bring, we'll look at it carefully, and in context
You’re very welcome to get in touch to see about how we might work together
