Online Clinical Supervision for Counsellors Across the UK
Supportive, ethical and reflective supervision for trainee, newly qualified and experienced counsellors
|
I offer online clinical supervision for counsellors across the UK, as well as in-person supervision from my counselling practice near Stafford. My supervision style is warm, collaborative and reflective, with a strong person-centred foundation.
Whether you are a trainee counsellor, newly qualified practitioner or experienced therapist looking for a fresh supervisory relationship, supervision with me offers a confidential space to pause, reflect, think ethically and grow in confidence. I work with counsellors and psychotherapists who support adults, couples and people experiencing issues such as bereavement, loss, relationship difficulties, menopause, health anxiety, emotional overwhelm and life transitions. |

Supervision that supports both your client work and you as a practitioner
Good supervision is not just about case discussion. It is also about how the work affects you, how you understand your therapeutic relationships, how you manage ethical questions, and how you continue developing as a safe, grounded and effective practitioner.
In supervision, we may explore:
My aim is to offer supervision that feels supportive and human, while also being professionally robust and appropriately challenging when needed.

My approach to clinical supervision
My supervision style is grounded in the person-centred values of empathy, authenticity and acceptance. I aim to create a space where you can speak honestly about your work without fear of judgement or shame.
At the same time, supervision also needs to support ethical awareness, professional responsibility and safe practice. This means we can gently explore uncertainty, risk, stuckness, boundaries and moments where the work feels difficult.
My approach is:
I believe supervision works best when the supervisee feels safe enough to be honest and supported enough to grow.

Supervision for trainee counsellors
Starting client work can feel exciting, exposing and daunting. Many trainee counsellors worry about whether they are “doing it right”, how to use theory in practice, how to manage silence, how to record notes, or how to bring difficult material to supervision.
I offer trainee supervision that supports your learning, confidence and ethical development. We can explore your client work, placement requirements, professional boundaries, reflective practice and your developing identity as a counsellor.
You will be encouraged to bring questions, doubts, successes and uncertainties. Supervision is not about performing perfectly; it is about learning to practise safely, thoughtfully and with increasing confidence.

Supervision for newly qualified counsellors
The period after qualification can be one of the most important stages in a counsellor’s development. You may be moving from training into private practice, joining an agency, increasing your client hours or wondering how to trust yourself more fully as a practitioner.
Supervision can help you think about:
Many newly qualified counsellors benefit from a supervisor who can offer both professional reflection and steady emotional support during this transition.
Supervision can help you think about:
- building confidence after qualification
- managing private practice boundaries
- working safely with more complex client material
- avoiding isolation as an independent practitioner
- developing your own professional identity
- balancing client work with your own wellbeing
- preparing for future accreditation, where relevant
Many newly qualified counsellors benefit from a supervisor who can offer both professional reflection and steady emotional support during this transition.
Supervision for private practice counsellors
Private practice can be rewarding, but it can also feel isolating. Without the structure of an agency or training environment, supervision becomes an even more important space for reflection, accountability and professional support.
I can support counsellors in private practice with:
This is not business coaching, but supervision often naturally includes reflection on how you hold yourself, your boundaries and your professional role within private practice.
