CLINICAL SUPERVISION

Clinical supervision for counsellors working in perinatal mental health.

Specialist supervision for qualified counsellors, psychotherapists, or any professional working in health and social care—particularly those working with pregnancy loss, infertility, birth trauma, disability and the perinatal period.

Perinatal work is among the most rewarding and most demanding of clinical specialisms.

The grief, the bodily intensity, the way it touches on the supervisor's own life, and the practical realities of working with clients in acute crisis all make it work that needs specialist supervisory support.

I supervise qualified counsellors and psychotherapists, particularly those who are building or already hold a perinatal specialism. I also supervise practitioners from related professions who hold counselling-style roles in perinatal services, including midwives in counselling roles, health visitors providing emotional support, and charity sector counsellors.

SUPERVISION FOR THERAPISTS & PROFESSIONALS

Clinical supervision. Reflective practice.

01

Clinical Supervision for Counsellors & Psychotherapists
I offer supervision to counsellors and psychotherapists seeking a warm, thoughtful and robust space to explore their clinical work. My approach is person-centred and holistic, informed by the Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision (Hawkins & Shohet), which helps us consider not only your work with clients, but the wider context in which that work takes place.
Alongside my broad experience as a therapist and supervisor, I bring specialist knowledge in perinatal loss, birth trauma and parenting. However, you do not need to work in these areas to seek supervision with me. I supervise therapists from a wide range of backgrounds and modalities, and welcome anyone looking for a reflective, collaborative supervisory relationship.
While your client work is, of course, central to our sessions, so are you! I believe good supervision pays attention not only to clinical practice but also to the wellbeing of the therapist. I'll always want to know how you're doing before we turn our attention to your clients, because sustaining yourself in this work is crucial. Therapy is deeply rewarding, but it can also be emotionally demanding. Supervision should be a place where you feel both professionally challenged and personally supported.

Reflective Practice for Health & Social Care Professionals
Through years of delivering training to professionals working across the NHS and social care, I have developed a deep understanding of the pressures and constraints you face. Time and again, I have met thoughtful, dedicated and compassionate professionals who are questioning whether they can continue working in the roles they love.
Burnout is real. Workloads can feel relentless, resources stretched, and there is often little time to pause and reflect. While reflective practice cannot remove the systemic challenges you face, it can help you feel more supported, more connected to your values, and better equipped to sustain yourself in demanding work.
Making space for regular reflective practice—whether fortnightly or monthly—can have positive ripple effects for you, your family, your colleagues and, ultimately, the people you support.

MY APPROACH TO SUPERVISION

How I supervise.

Supervision with me is collaborative and collegial, grounded in the BACP Ethical Framework, and shaped around the practitioner I'm working with.

My approach is informed by the Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision (Hawkins & Shohet), alongside trauma-informed and relational ways of thinking.

In practice, this means we'll attend not only to your client work, but also to the dynamics in the room, your own responses, the organisational systems you work within, and the wider professional context. For those working in the perinatal field, supervision often also needs to make space for the practitioner's own experiences of fertility, pregnancy, loss or parenthood, recognising that these experiences inevitably shape the work.

I'm direct without being prescriptive. I'll share my thinking and challenge yours when I believe it will be helpful. I'll also be honest when something falls outside my expertise. Sometimes we'll need to think things through together. For me, supervision is a space for curiosity, reflection and learning—for both of us.

SUPERVISION FORMATS

Ways we can work together.

01

One-to-one sessions,
online or in person
Many of the practitioners I work with attend one-to-one sessions online, typically for a 60 or 90 minutes every month. The length and frequency of supervision sessions can be determined together so long as we meet the requirements of your regulatory body (if applicable). In-person supervision is available in Norwich.
02

Small group supervision
I sometimes run small supervision groups for therapists. Groups are typically three or four practitioners, meeting monthly for 90 minutes. Please ask if you'd like to know whether there's a current opening.
03

Supervision for NHS Services, Charities & Other Organisations
I work with NHS services, charities and other organisations to provide reflective supervision for staff working in emotionally demanding roles. Arrangements are tailored to the needs of your service and can include individual supervision, group supervision, reflective practice sessions, or a combination of these.
My aim is to create a supportive, psychologically safe space where staff can reflect on their work, process the emotional impact of their roles, and develop sustainable ways of working that benefit both practitioners and the people they support.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Good to know.

A few of the things people most often want to know before getting in touch. Can't see your question? A short call is the best way to find out if we're a good fit.

Yes. I supervise within my area of clinical competence and hold diploma in person-centred supervision. My supervision practice meets BACP's requirements for supervisors.
Yes. The supervision I offer can be counted towards the supervision requirements set out in the BACP Ethical Framework.
No, there is no need for you to have a perinatal specialism: I am happy to supervises therapists or practitioners who work with a broad range of issues.
Yes, I do supervise other professionals who work in helping professions, such midwives, doctors, nurses, social workers or support workers. We'd talk in our first call about whether the supervision I offer is the right fit for your specific role.
Yes. Some practitioners come to me for a one-off consultation rather than ongoing supervision. It can be helpful to think through a particular issue with someone outside your organisation, team or service, or to gain a fresh perspective on a clinical dilemma. If you're looking for a one-off reflective space rather than a longer-term supervisory relationship, please get in touch to discuss your needs.
BACP guidance recommends a minimum of 1.5 hours of supervision per month for practitioners seeing six or more clients per week. New practitioners often benefit from more frequent supervision. If you’re coming for reflective practice, or already have your supervision requirements met elsewhere, the decision is entirely yours.
Yes. I provide a written supervision contract that sets out the terms of our work, frequency, fees, confidentiality, ethical framework and the limits of supervisory responsibility.
