Clinical supervision

A steady place to bring the work.

An IACP accredited supervisor with a Diploma in Integrative Supervision and 18 years of clinical practice.

Supervision is shaped around your modality rather than imposed on it, whether your practice is integrative, pluralistic, person centred, psychodynamic, CBT or systemic. Particular attention goes to trauma and EMDR work, the ethics of private practice, and the parts of the work that are hard to say out loud anywhere else.

Executive, leadership & life coaching

The organisation and the person, in one conversation.

Most coaches understand organisations or they understand people. This practice is built on an MA in Human Resource Management, a Fellowship of the CIPD and an MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy.

For leaders: managing people through change or redundancy, holding authority without hardening, difficult working relationships and what happens when the role has outgrown the person. For individuals: a career change, a return to work, a redundancy, or a long held sense that something needs to move.

Facilitation and reflective practice

Groups and teams, held well.

Facilitation is guiding a group or an individual through a learning process, and creating a safe space where people can share their thinking without judgement.

Reflective practice is the process of stepping back and thinking deeply about your actions and experiences, then using those insights to improve how you do things in future.

Available for groups, teams and individuals by arrangement.
