If you are interested in clinical supervision, we can set up an appointment talk on the phone or a video call for a few minutes to see if we are a good fit. If we agree to work together, I will send you a supervision agreement describing our mutual responsibilities. Once this is signed we can meet on a regularly or as often as you need. If you are seeking case consultation, please note that this will not carry any supervision hours.

Every therapist needs supervision no matter how experienced and therefore it’s best to view effective supervision as a collaborative process, wherein supervisees take an active role in:
- Choosing what area of their counselling practice needs attention.
- Giving feedback about the supervisory process and relationship.
- For new counsellors, developing their own professional standards.
- Taking responsibility for what they want to achieve through supervision.
