I am a BABCP-accredited clinical supervisor, offering private supervision to both trainee and qualified CBT therapists. I also work with organisations seeking high-quality professional CBT supervision for their teams. Additionally, I provide supervision and coaching for healthcare professionals and counsellors who wish to integrate or deepen their use of CBT and psychological approaches in their practice.
My supervision training is accredited by the British Psychological Society, and I am an active member of the BABCP Supervision Special Interest Group. With extensive experience across the private sector, NHS, and HMPPS, I bring a broad understanding of diverse clinical settings and challenges. I am also privileged to supervise trainees on the University of Hertfordshire’s postgraduate diploma in CBT, supporting the next generation of therapists in their professional development.
Clinical CBT supervision is a structured, collaborative process that supports therapists in delivering safe, effective, and evidence-based therapy. It provides a confidential space to reflect on your clinical work, explore therapeutic challenges, enhance your skills, and ensure you’re working within the CBT framework and ethical guidelines.
Supervision is not just about case management, it’s a supportive environment where you can develop your clinical reasoning, strengthen formulation skills, build confidence, and maintain fidelity to the CBT model. Whether you’re in training, newly qualified, or an experienced therapist, supervision plays a vital role in maintaining high standards of care and promoting personal and professional growth.
In supervision with me, you can expect a non-judgemental, collaborative approach that encourages reflective practice, promotes development, celebrates progress, and provides space to think critically and compassionately about your work.
Supervision will provide a safe, nurturing and confidential space for you to build your confidence in using CBT or other psychological theory/models as well as steadily expanding your knowledge base. I will take time to understand where you are in your clinical career, and what your learning and development goals for the future are.
I have a wide range of resources that I share with my supervisees to increase their understanding and improve their practice. During supervision we have space to discuss clients you are working with including sharing formulations, treatment plans and problem solving any difficulties. I recognise the importance of using supervision to also discuss your own wellbeing as well as encouraging reflective practice.
I can offer you the benefits of receiving supervision whilst being responsive and flexible to your clinical needs. Supervision is provided on a set or flexible basis, face-to-face, telephone or via a secure online platform.
