Integrative, relational supervision for counsellors, therapists and practitioners in Wilmslow, Alderley Edge and online
I offer supervision for counsellors and therapists who work integratively and value the quality of the supervisory relationship as the foundation for good practice.
My approach to supervision is relational, reflective and collaborative. I work with different models of supervision and also utilise applied neuroscience as a supportive framework to deepen understanding of clinical work, nervous system responses and practitioner wellbeing.
Supervision is shaped around you, your clients and the work you do.
The purpose of supervision
Supervision provides a dedicated space to reflect on your clinical work, professional development and the impact of the work on you as a practitioner. It is a place where thinking, feeling and learning can happen together, within a safe and supportive relationship.
It is a professional practice support, distinct from therapy, which aims to strengthen your competence, confidence and clinical presence while also supporting your wellbeing and ongoing development as a practitioner
Supervision allows you to:
Explore case work thoughtfully
Reflect on clinical formulation and ethical decisions
Develop professional awareness and confidence
Recognise and manage countertransference and emotional impact
Build resilience and reflective capacity within practice
For me, effective supervision rests on a strong working alliance, one that allows honesty, curiosity and challenge to coexist. When the supervisory relationship feels containing and collaborative, it becomes easier to explore complexity, uncertainty and growth.
My approach to supervision
I work with counsellors and therapists who practice integratively, drawing on different models and approaches to meet the individual needs of each client. Supervision mirrors this way of working.
Rather than applying a fixed framework, we work flexibly and responsively, attending to what is emerging in the clinical work and in you as a practitioner.
Supervision is not just about case discussion, it’s about supporting the whole practitioner. In our supervision, we pay attention to:
Emotional and relational dynamics
Ethical and professional responsibilities
Clinical understanding and formulation
Your development as a reflective practitioner
- Your nervous system resonses
I aim to provide a safe space where your experience is respected, your thinking is supported and your clinical confidence can grow.
The importance of relationship and alliance
The supervisory relationship itself is a key part of the work and I endeavour to create a working relationship that feels:
Warm, respectful and non-judgemental
Collaborative rather than directive
Supportive while also offering gentle challenge
Paced with your capacity and experience
This relational foundation allows us to explore client work, emotional impact and professional dilemmas in a way that feels safe and meaningful.

I offer supervision to:
Integrative counsellors and therapists
Trainee and qualified practitioners
Therapists working with trauma, stress or complex presentations
Practitioners who value reflection and relational depth
Clinicians seeking a thoughtful, collaborative supervisory relationship

What supervision with me is like
Supervision sessions offer space to:
Reflect on client work and clinical formulation
Explore relational dynamics and countertransference
Think through ethical questions and professional responsibilities
Attend to the emotional impact of the work
Develop confidence and clarity in your clinical decisions
Integrate theory, experience and reflective insight
My aim is to support you to feel held, supported and encouraged in your work.
How we might work together
Sessions are shaped collaboratively and include:
Discussion of client material
Reflective exploration of themes and patterns
Ethical and professional considerations
Relational and systemic perspectives
Nervous system awareness and self-care
Linking theory, neuroscience and practice in meaningful ways
Supervision is an evolving process that responds to your needs over time. As it is a collaborative process, we will discuss and agree this together, and review regularly.

Online via Zoom
In-person (subject to availability)
As individual supervision

Next Steps
If you’re interested in supervision, the best next step is an initial conversation. This gives us the opportunity to explore what you’re looking for in supervision and whether working together feels like a good fit.
I am committed to offering supervision that supports ethical practice, professional growth and practitioner wellbeing within a thoughtful, relational framework.
