Clinical Supervision

Relational, Trauma-Informed Supervision with an Integrative Nervous-System Lens

I offer clinical supervision for counsellors and psychotherapists who want a relational, trauma-informed space to reflect on their work, sharpen formulation, and develop confidence with complex presentations. Supervision is collaborative, paced, and grounded in ethical practice—supporting both clinical depth and therapist sustainability.

Based in Shinfield (Reading). I typically work with supervisees locally (around a 15-mile radius) and online.

Who I supervise

I provide supervision for:

  • Trainee counsellors/psychotherapists (placement and post-qualification pathways)

  • Qualified therapists seeking ongoing supervision, reflective practice, or case consultation

  • Small groups (where there is a shared professional context and clear contracting)

I’m particularly suited to supervisees working with trauma presentations, chronic dysregulation, dissociation/shutdown patterns, and clients with layered or complex histories. Where appropriate, we can also explore the interface between psychotherapy and nervous-system regulation approaches.

My supervision approach

My style is relational, trauma-informed, and integrative. Depending on your needs and stage of development, supervision can include:

  • Collaborative case formulation (including risk and safeguarding considerations)

  • Tracking process, transference/countertransference, rupture/repair, and therapeutic stance

  • Working with nervous system dynamics in the therapy room (arousal, collapse, dissociation, hypervigilance)

  • Pacing, titration, stabilisation, and consent-based trauma work

  • Ethical decision-making, boundaries, endings, documentation, and working within scope

  • Supporting your professional identity, confidence, and sustainability as a clinician

I aim to offer a balance of warmth, clarity, and clinical rigour—supportive but not vague, and structured without being rigid.

Practicalities

Format

  • Online supervision (video) is available.

  • In-person supervision may be available (subject to location and scheduling).

Frequency

Most supervisees choose:

  • Fortnightly (common post-qualification), or

  • Weekly (common for trainees and higher-intensity caseloads).

We’ll agree an arrangement that fits your training requirements, caseload, and budget, and we’ll review it periodically.

Fees

Fees are listed on my Fees and other details page. If you are VAT-registered or require VAT invoices, please note that fees may be subject to VAT if I register for VAT.

Cancellations

If a session is cancelled with fewer than 7 days’ and at least 1 day notice, the full fee is due unless we can agree an alternative appointment for the current week if attending weekly, or fortnight if attending fortnightly. The full fee is due for cancellations received with fewer than 24-hour notice. This supports reliability, continuity, and fairness.

Contact

If you’d like to explore working together, please get in touch via the Getting in touch page. You’re welcome to include:

  • your training/qualification status

  • modality and client group

  • typical caseload and settings

  • what you want supervision to support (e.g., trauma formulation, complexity, confidence, ethics)

Fit: when my supervision is especially helpful

Supervision with me may be a good fit if you:

  • work with trauma (PTSD/C-PTSD), developmental or relational trauma, or post-trauma growth

  • regularly meet clients presenting with hyperarousal, shutdown/collapse, dissociation, sleep disruption, or chronic anxiety patterns

  • want supervision that supports integrated work—including nervous-system regulation approaches alongside psychotherapy

  • prefer a supervision relationship that is warm, structured, reflective, and ethically grounded

  • want to deepen formulation and pacing skills for complex presentations, while staying within scope and maintaining therapist wellbeing

If you’re unsure whether we’re a good fit, we can start with an initial conversation to clarify your needs and see whether my approach matches what you’re looking for.
