I help practitioners integrate reflective practice and supervision theory into ethical clinical work and professional development.
“The person you are working with should make you feel safe, comfortable and able to talk about the things you need to talk about – including possible mistakes or things you might have missed. This is what supervision is about!”
My first experiences of clinical supervision have marked how I see this important aspect of our Private Practice. I’ve had excellent supervisors in my B.A. in Guatemala – contemporary psychoanalytic for my work with adults, and cognitive-behavioural, behavioural, play therapy and psychometric testing for my work with young people and children. My experiences of supervision in the UK have been varied, though mostly positive.
In all my years practicing counselling and psychotherapy, I’ve learned to be assertive and “picky” when it comes to choosing my supervisors, and I encourage you to do the same. My experience through the years of different supervisors, has allowed me to set a high standard of what I should be getting in my supervision, as well as what to offer my supervisees when they come for their sessions.
I’ve made it as easy as possible for you to decide whether you’d like to have me support your counselling, supervision and coaching work, with a full series of blog posts, short videos, workshops on demand, and a free initial chat where I can answer all your questions so you can make an informed decision and work out what works best for you and your growing practice. I hope that the information found on these pages will lead you to choose the right supervisor – and perhaps that is me!
I offer clinical supervision to qualified counsellors in private practice and in a wide range of settings and client groups.
I also offer additional support for my supervisees – and for anyone who might just want to come for a few sessions for support in the areas below:

Self care is important. Not just the usual having a bath or having a nice cup of your favourite tea.
I mean the real stuff. The stuff that makes your life fulfilling and happy, or the stuff that makes you have the opposite experience.
In this book I give you 20 in-depth ways in which you can develop self-care habits that will improve your life and your relationships.
There are strengths in all of us that might have been quietened down or simply not put to any use due to life circumstances – being told you have to say yes all the time; or people denying your needs and/or feelings, which led to you not expressing either.
Reflecting on these 20 habits, and putting them into practice, in your own time, will allow you to learn more about yourself and how you relate with others.
Deal with them before they deal with you!
Jenna, Jeremiah and Jacob all lead normal lives.They all wake up one morning in a strange bed, in a house they don’t know. They wonder why they’re here and how they got there. As they settle into the realisation that there is something that brought them here, a purpose, they all realise that there are rooms that seem to be calling them towards them. The beckoning rooms. They spend 4 nights in the place with the beckoning rooms. Alone. Somehow forced to face themselves and their deepest, darkest thoughts, feelings and lived experiences. They thought they’d left all that behind.
One last thing before you continue browsing…
You have lots of knowledge and wisdom that the world needs to hear.
We all have dreams…we all have ideas that we want to bring into reality and see them flourish.
Sometimes life gets in the way. I get it. I’ve been there too.
We might be too busy making ends meet, or we might have sudden or ongoing health issues that mean that time we spend on our businesses and building our empires might be better spent resting and recovering.
Yes, rest and recover. By all means! That’s why I wrote 20 Self-Care Habits.
I believe that working on what we love means we don’t actually “work”.
We might need to change our lifestyle or our mindset, or both, or neither.
We might need to work on past issues that might have us “stuck” there and unable to see the way forward. That’s what The Beckoning Rooms is all about. Where fiction meets reality.
We might just need to sound off to someone that will help us get our ideas on paper and start seeing them develop.
This is why I’m here.
Have a look around this website. You’ll find many ways of meeting your learning, business, self-care and other needs through the various books and programmes I offer.
A disclaimer, this journey might mean lots of work – emotional, psychological, financial, and more but it will be worth it in the end.
Trust the process. I certainly do!
Let’s let the secret out and turn that knowledge into scalable, workable, relatable and communicable ideas that everyone can benefit from.
