Essex Therapy Barn  07824 099290

I am the Lead Therapist and Clinical Supervisor at Essex Therapy Barn. 

I work as a supervisor with non-statutory and statutory agencies, including Organisations within Essex, specialised schools, and local charity hospice counselling services.

I provide supervision to counsellor's online, over the telephone, to students, newly qualifying counsellors, qualified counsellors working with adults, children, couples, young people and families with a range of presenting issues.

I previously worked and supervised for 10 years for a charity agency and the private sector in a range of areas including Anxiety, Bereavement, Domestic Violence and Trauma, supervising staff who worked with complex children, young people and families with mental health issues, anxiety, and stress, ‘looked after’ children, children/young people with learning difficulties like ADHD, safeguarding and child protection issues. 

As a Humanistic supervisor with extensive knowledge and experience, I am confident in working from an integrative perspective. A person-centred core ethos creates the necessary environment, a safe space to reflect upon content and process of work.  Validation and sharing vulnerabilities will support your learning and personal growth.

I also have extensive experience offering supervision to student and qualified Hypnotherapists.

Having a deep connection with your supervisor creates the opportunity to grow and discover things about yourself in a safe environment. It’s perfectly okay to make mistakes within a professional space, where worries are respectfully acknowledged and addressed in an unconditional manner. To feel confident that your supervisor is honest and transparent in their approach, support is given to you to build your competency skills by identifying and challenging when necessary.

My experience of good supervision that underpins ethical practice, involves encouragement in continued professional development, self-reflection and opportunities to discover hidden skills and strengths, Recognition and praise when it’s deserved, empowerment in taking risks, clear expectations and boundaries, confidence in supporting safeguarding matters if and when they arise. This would be part of the package I will provide for you.
