Supervision and Consultation
For clinicians and practitioners.
A protected, rigorous space for practitioners who hold others. We reflect on the work and on the person doing it, and both are taken seriously.
ABOUT THIS SERVICE
Supervision and consultation
Supervision and consultation are two related offers, both held to HCPC standards.
Supervision is a regular, protected reflective space for individual practitioners or groups, attending to the clinical work and to the person doing it. Consultation is a defined piece of work focused on an individual case: a thinking partnership on the clinical questions a practitioner or manager is holding.
Both draw on structured reflective models, including Heads and Hearts and the Social GGRRAAACCEEESSS.
In practice this serves the clinicians and practitioners responsible for others, including those supporting people in public and high-pressure roles.
For individual practitioners
Clinical supervision, individual or group, for clinical and counselling psychologists, psychotherapists and other mental health practitioners. A space to think clearly about your caseload, your development, and the systems you work within.
This is often the right fit for people who want:
- A rigorous, confidential space to think about the work and the person doing it
- Support that understands both clinical practice and the pressures around it
- Culturally attuned, trauma-informed frameworks their people can trust
- To build sound, humane structures around the people they are responsible for

Common questions
How do referrals work?
The first step is a discovery conversation to understand what you or your team need and whether I am the right person for it. If it is not the right fit, I will say so and, where possible, suggest someone who might be. Once we have agreed we are a good match, we move into a scoping stage: I gather the practical details, we agree the frame (frequency, format and focus), and I put a written proposal to you. From there we begin the work, with periodic review points so the arrangement stays useful.
What informs your supervision and consultation?
Teaching and developing other clinicians is part of my practice. I am a tutor and visiting clinical consultant at Royal Holloway, University of London, have been an honorary teaching fellow at UCL, and mentor trainee psychologists at the University of Essex. I have also line-managed people across different settings, so I understand first-hand how much good, or poor, management shapes the wellbeing of a team. I have also received formal training in management and leadership. My supervision and consultation are informed by established reflective practice models, including the Heads and Hearts model developed by Dr Arabella Kurtz, the Social GGRRAAACCEEESSS reflective model developed at UCL by Dr Chelsea Gardener and colleagues, and approaches that use structured storytelling and shared reflection to process the emotional demands of clinical work. I also draw on supervision, reflective spaces and consultation myself. I value them highly, and they sharpen the work I offer to others.
