Clinical Supervision
I offer clinical supervision in Glasgow and Shotts for counsellors, psychotherapists and trainees. I have extensive experience of counselling adults, young people and families across the Voluntary Sector, NHS, Education, EAP, Insurance and in private practice. My supervision practice has welcomed practitioners and trainees from a variety of working environments, counselling approaches and professional bodies. During my time as a clinical supervisor I have had the opportunity to successfully support supervisees through their journey to professional body accreditation. I encourage and support reflection and development around; legal issues, safeguarding, theoretical knowledge, ethical dilemmas and development of self awareness.
My style as a supervisor is relational, non-hierarchical, and thoughtfully challenging in approach. I bring presence, ethical clarity, and psychological depth, along with a commitment to co-creating a space where you feel both supported and stretched in your professional journey.
I have adopted an approach that is integrative, trauma-informed, and rooted in safety and relational ethics. I offer a confidential, reflective and collaborative space to explore the complexities of clinical work, deepen professional insight, and sustain personal wellbeing as a practitioner. Supervision will always be a place where you can bring both the challenges and the rewards of your client work, knowing they will be met with respect, curiosity, and care.
Some common themes that arise in supervision:
Ethical Practice
Navigate the ever-evolving landscape of ethical decision-making with clarity and integrity. We’ll explore boundaries, confidentiality, dual roles, and the subtleties of ethical dilemmas in real-life practice.
Client and Practitioner Safety
Ensuring safety, emotional, psychological, and physical is central. Supervision offers a space to assess and strengthen the containment of your work, manage risk, and support both your clients’ and your own nervous system regulation.
Transference & Countertransference
Deepen your understanding of the unconscious dynamics at play in the therapeutic relationship. We’ll explore the meanings behind emotional responses and use these moments as gateways to insight, empathy, and clinical effectiveness.
Good Practice & Continuing Professional Development
Supervision is a space to reflect on your technique, presence, and evolving identity as a therapist. It supports continuous growth, alignment with professional standards, and a commitment to best practice across modalities.
Working with Challenge
Whether you're facing complex client presentations, burnout, self-doubt, or rupture and repair in the therapeutic alliance, supervision provides a container for honest reflection, grounded feedback, and ongoing support.
