Relational, trauma-informed clinical supervision
Supervision for therapists, counsellors and trainees who want a reflective, grounded space for clinical thinking, ethical practice, and professional development.
Supervision is available online and, where helpful, in person in Shinfield, Reading, Berkshire.
I’m a UKCP-registered psychotherapist and clinical supervisor, and a BACP-registered member.
I offer clinical supervision for counsellors and psychotherapists who want a steady, body-aware, and trauma-informed space to reflect on their work, deepen formulation, and grow confidence with complex or layered presentations.
My supervision is collaborative, ethically grounded, and attentive to your wellbeing as a clinician.
It may be especially helpful if you are looking for supervision that brings together relational process and trauma formulation, while staying grounded in ethics, scope, and the realities of practice.
Who I supervise
I work with:
trainee counsellors and psychotherapists
qualified therapists seeking ongoing supervision, reflective practice, or case consultation
small supervision groups where there is a shared professional context and clear contracting
I am particularly well suited to supervisees working with trauma presentations, chronic dysregulation, dissociation, shutdown patterns, and layered or demanding histories.
This can be especially valuable when the work feels difficult to hold on your own.
When this supervision may be a good fit
This supervision may be a good fit if you:
work with trauma, developmental trauma, or relational trauma
regularly meet clients with hyperarousal, shutdown, dissociation, sleep disruption, or chronic anxiety
want supervision that supports integrated, trauma- and regulation-informed work
prefer a supervision relationship that is warm, structured, and reflective
want to deepen formulation and pacing skills while staying within scope
It may be particularly helpful if you want supervision that can hold depth, uncertainty, and complex trauma process without becoming rigid or technique-driven.
What supervision may include
My style is relational, trauma-informed, and integrative. I aim to offer a space where you can slow down, reflect, and make sense of the work clearly.
The focus is not only on what to do next, but on developing an approach that feels clinically coherent, ethical, and sustainable.
Depending on your needs and stage of development, supervision may include:
collaborative case formulation
tracking process: transference / countertransference, rupture and repair, and therapeutic stance
pacing, titration, stabilisation, and consent-based trauma work
ethical decision-making, boundaries, endings, documentation, and scope of practice
supporting your professional identity and confidence as a clinician
If you are anxious about being judged, you are not alone. My aim is to help you understand the work more clearly, not to catch you out.

If you would like to explore supervision
If you would like to explore supervision with me, you are welcome to get in touch.
It can be helpful to include:
your training or qualification status
your modality and client group
your typical caseload and setting
what you would like supervision to support
You do not need to have everything neatly formulated before getting in touch. A brief sense of where you are in your work and what you would like supervision to support is enough.
There is no pressure to continue beyond the consultation.
