Counselling and Psychotherapy
Counselling and psychotherapy provide a confidential space to explore emotional difficulties, relationships and the experiences that shape how you live, feel and relate to others. Therapy can deepen self-understanding, strengthen emotional resilience and open up more satisfying ways to navigate personal and professional life. Psychodynamic psychotherapy goes beyond the presenting problem to explore the underlying patterns, past experiences and unconscious processes that may continue to shape the present. By recognising recurring patterns and the defences developed to manage distress, you can gain greater insight into yourself and greater freedom in how you respond. With awareness comes choice — and with choice, the possibility of meaningful change. Therapy is available on a short- or long-term basis, in a warm, thoughtful and professional environment where difficult experiences can be explored safely and without judgement.
Clinical Supervision
Clinical supervision is an essential part of professional practice, providing a confidential space to reflect on clinical work, the therapeutic relationship, and your ongoing development as a practitioner.
I offer supervision to qualified psychotherapists and counsellors within a thoughtful, containing and appropriately challenging environment. My approach integrates the three core functions of supervision: supportive, managerial and educative — attending to the emotional impact of the work; ethical practice, boundaries, risk and accountability; and ongoing clinical learning and professional development.
Central to my inclusive supervisory practice is attention to the cultural, racial and social contexts that shape both the client experience and the therapeutic relationship. This includes developing practitioners’ capacity to recognise and sensitively respond to the experiences of Black and Asian women, as well as other women from the Global Majority.
Supervision also provides space to consider how significant personal and life-stage transitions may affect the practitioner’s capacity for therapeutic holding and emotional availability.
My aim is to create a supervisory relationship in which you can think freely, question assumptions, bring your mistakes and vulnerability, explore uncertainty, and deepen your practice — developing greater confidence, professional identity and clinical insight while remaining thoughtful, ethical and engaged in the work.
