My approach is integrative and psychologically curious. I draw on various frameworks to help you understand the relational dynamics, ego states and unconscious processes happening between you and your clients. Whether you are navigating complex ethical dilemmas or seeking to deepen your reflexive practice, I am here to ensure you feel supported, challenged and inspired.
Sustaining Your Wellbeing
This work is emotionally demanding. We can focus on your nervous system regulation and self-care strategies, ensuring you have the resilience to remain present for your clients.
Neurodivergent-Affirming Lens
If you are supporting ADHD or Autistic clients, I can help you move beyond standard medical models. With lived and academic experience of autism and adhd, I can help ensure your interventions are truly affirming.
Ethical Dilemmas & Blind Spots
Supervision is a vital safety net. I can help you navigate complex ethical questions, safely manage risk and ground your practice in the BACP Ethical Framework.
Shame and the ‘Second Arrow’
Clinical work often triggers imposter syndrome. I use a compassion-based approach to help you identify critical self-talk, mitigating shame and keeping you grounded.
LGBTQ+, Poly & GSRD Practice
I provide specialised support for working within Gender, Sex, and Relationship Diversity. We can ensure your practice remains intersectional and culturally engaged.
Trainee Support
If you are a student, I am experienced in supporting trainee development, completing assessment reports and collaborating with your training provider.
How I Can Support Your Practice
Clinical Supervision
Collaborative Support for Ethical & Affirming Practice
I’m a queer AuDHD BACP-accredited integrative therapist and clinical supervisor with over fifteen years of therapeutic counselling experience. I provide a compassionate, collaborative space designed to help you deconstruct your client work, sharpen your clinical intuition and sustain professional wellbeing.
Supervision works best when it's a formal yet highly collaborative process. I aim to offer a supportive, egalitarian relationship characterised by mutual sharing of ideas. We will build a high-trust, “adult-to-adult” environment where you can bring your clinical successes alongside your stuck moments and anxieties. Together we can navigate the normative, formative and restorative tasks of supervision.

I offer supervision sessions online via secure video, by telephone or face-to-face in Milton Keynes.
