Supervision
Reflective supervision for relational and creative practitioners.
A thoughtful, supported and grounded space to reflect on clinical work, relationships, uncertainty and the emotional impact of practice.
Supervision can be a place to slow down, think together and remain connected to the work beneath routines, pressure and performance. I offer supervision for practitioners working closely with children, families, creativity, education and emotional care. Through my considerable experience as a play therapist and child counsellor, as well as working with families and schools for over 15 years I aim to not only meet and explore the work you are doing, but also look for practical solutions to everyday problems.
Who supervision is for
- Play therapists
- Trainee therapists
- Child counsellors
- Educators and pastoral staff
- Creative practitioners and arts facilitators
- Support workers and relational professionals
- Practitioners working internationally or across cultures
Some supervisees come looking for clinical support, others for reflective depth, steadiness or help thinking through difficult dynamics in the work. Many are balancing emotionally demanding roles while trying to remain thoughtful and connected in their practice. I know how challenging this can be and bring all my experience and training in diverse roles to support you.
Supervision can help with
- Feeling stuck or uncertain in the work
- Emotional impact and burnout
- Boundaries and endings
- Attachment dynamics and relational patterns
- Working creatively without losing structure
- Complex parent relationships
- Shame, doubt and confidence in practice
- Reflective practice and professional development
- Maintaining presence in emotionally demanding work
- Integrating creativity, embodiment and clinical thinking
Good supervision is not only about solving problems. It is also about remaining able to think, feel and notice clearly within demanding work.
How supervision works
My approach to supervision is relational, reflective and collaborative and influenced by my training with the CTSD in London. Alongside practical thinking about the work itself, I pay close attention to process, emotional atmosphere, embodiment and the dynamics that emerge between practitioner, client and wider systems.
Informed by
- Play therapy
- Relational practice
- Creativity and performance
- Attachment and developmental thinking
- Embodied awareness
- Reflective inquiry
I aim to offer supervision that is thoughtful and containing without becoming rigid or overly procedural.
Background and experience
I work as a child counsellor and play therapist and have worked across schools, community settings, creative practice and therapeutic environments in both the UK and Europe. Alongside therapeutic work, my background includes theatre, clowning, music and embodied practice, which continue to inform how I think about relationship, creativity and emotional communication.

An initial conversation
Finding the right supervisor matters. An initial conversation gives us space to think about your work, what you are looking for, and whether the supervision feels like the right fit.
