Just as I feel passionate
about therapists experiencing being clients
themselves as an integral part of training and
later on as-and-when needed (see below), so I’m
passionate about adequate supervision – in terms
of quality and quantity. And, just as
relationship lies at the heart of therapy, so it
does in supervision. The quest for a supervisor
is a process in itself, assessing your own
particular needs and whether, and how, your
supervisor responds.
I welcome enquiries from both experienced
therapists and newly-qualified practitioners.
Having worked with many supervisors since I
began practising twelve years ago, I know what
it is both to dread and to look forward to
supervision sessions. The latter works best!
Feeling safe in supervision allows for the
deepest personal enquiries and challenges.
I trained in Therapeutic
Counselling in Dartington, Devon and qualified
with CAPAB in 2000. Since then, I have
established a thriving private practice in
central Exeter.
Integral to my training was self-enquiry,
including in-depth personal therapy. My work is
informed by continuing professional study and
practice and by my own therapeutic process. I am
committed to on-going personal exploration, for
my own sake and essentially for my clients’.
