I offer individual supervision to qualified psychotherapists, drawing on an integrative approach that is informed by psychoanalytic principles. My supervision therefore focuses on the unconscious dynamics between therapist and client. This unlocks the healing potential which can become obscured in client relationships, while developing the practitioners capacity to work at psychic depth.
I particularly value working with supervisees who are engaged in their own personal development, as this parallel process deepens both self-awareness and clinical effectiveness. The supervisory relationship itself becomes a space for identifying the unprocessed developmental edges in the practitioner and of course, the supervisor.
Currently, I do not have availability for new supervision arrangements.
How I work
I trained as an Integrative/Transpersonal psychotherapist, however my professional development has taken me toward a Jungian psychoanalytic way of working. This means I am focussed on early life material, and work heavily with analytic principals such as “the frame” and transference/counter transference. Dreams, myths, fairy tales and cultural / religious symbology are key to this way of working. I have a particular interest in intergenerational trauma and ancestral work.
I integrate trauma and embodied modalities into the psychospiritual foundation of my work. This includes internal family systems (IFS) and some sensory motor perspectives. I have found this way of working can lead to particularly profound work, and bridges unnecessary divides between mind and soma, psychological and spiritual.
My sense is that the body is integral to psychotherapeutic practice and as such we therapists are called to develop an embodied presence which draws from the relational field and through that the collective unconscious. Then, creativity and insight of the transpersonal can populate the theories and interventions we have to hand. Healing is further magnified as we can think together, about archetypal patterns, and the potent overlap of developmental injury and ancestral inheritance.
I work in an authentic, open and reflective way and see working with other psychotherapists as a rewarding act of service.
