Clinical Supervision for Counsellors & Psychotherapists

Face-to-face supervision in Porthleven, Cornwall, and online across the UK

Supporting the people who spend their lives supporting others

Most therapists care deeply about doing the very best for their clients.

They think about sessions on the drive home.

They replay conversations.

They wonder whether they missed something.

They carry stories that nobody else ever hears.

They celebrate the breakthroughs, but they also carry the sessions that stay with them, the clients they’re worried about and the responsibility that comes with sitting alongside people in pain.

If that feels familiar, you’re not alone.

Therapists spend their working lives supporting other people.

I believe therapists deserve that same support too.

My hope is that from the moment you walk through the door you’ll feel warmth, kindness and genuine encouragement. Somewhere you can put your therapist hat down for a while, take a breath and know that you don’t have to carry everything on your own.

Good supervision isn’t about judgement.

It’s about giving you a safe place to think, reflect, learn and continue becoming the therapist you want to be.

Therapists spend their lives supporting others. Good supervision is where someone supports you

You don’t have to have all the answers

One of the biggest fears many therapists bring into supervision is the worry that they’ll be judged.

Perhaps you’ve spent the week replaying a session.

Wondering whether you said the right thing.

Questioning a decision.

Feeling stuck with a client.

Or quietly wondering whether you’re good enough.

If you’ve ever felt like that, you’re in good company.

I’ve been there too.

I’ve made mistakes, questioned myself and looked back wishing I’d handled something differently. Those experiences haven’t made me a worse therapist. They’ve helped me become a better one.

One of the things I probably say most often in supervision is:

Just remember, you’re doing a really good job, and this is difficult work

My role isn’t to judge you.

It’s to support you, help you think differently, offer fresh perspectives when you’re feeling stuck and help you leave each session feeling clearer, more confident and ready to move forward.

A place where things begin to click

Some of my favourite moments in supervision are the quiet ones.

The moment someone smiles and says,

“Ah… that makes sense”

or…

“I hadn’t thought about it like that”

Those moments matter.

Sometimes it’s because we’ve found a different way of understanding a client.

Sometimes it’s recognising a blind spot.

Sometimes it’s discovering a new skill or approach that could really help.

Whether that’s drawing on person-centred therapy, CBT, EMDR-informed thinking or another therapeutic model, I enjoy exploring ideas that help therapists feel more confident and better equipped to support their clients.

For me, supervision isn’t simply about discussing cases.

It’s about helping you continue learning, growing and developing throughout your career.

Looking after the person behind the therapist

People sometimes imagine that therapists have everything figured out.

The reality is very different.

Most therapists have experienced difficult times in their own lives.

We carry our own stories.

We hear stories that stay with us.

We sometimes worry about our clients long after the session has ended.

That’s part of caring deeply.

One thing you’ll probably notice if we work together is that I won’t only ask about your client.

I’ll ask about you too.

How did that feel?

What stayed with you?

Was there anything that got in the way of empathy?

Is there anything you’re carrying that needs putting down for a while?

Looking after yourself isn’t separate from being a good therapist.

It’s part of being one.

You deserve the same kindness, compassion and care that you offer your own clients.

You don’t have to carry everything on your own. Sometimes supervision is about leaving some of that weight behind

Developing your practice

Supervision isn’t only about helping you with difficult sessions.

It’s also about helping you continue growing as a therapist.

I enjoy supporting supervisees to:

Build confidence in their clinical work.
Learn new therapeutic skills and approaches.
Explore different ways of understanding clients.
Discover areas for future training and development.
Develop specialist interests and niches.
Build an ethical and sustainable private practice.

Many training courses prepare us well for working with clients.

They don’t always prepare us for life afterwards.

Finding clients.

Developing confidence in private practice.

Creating a career that’s sustainable as well as rewarding.

If that’s something you’d like support with, supervision can be a place to explore those conversations too.

Finding the right supervisor

Finding the right supervisor is about much more than qualifications. It’s about finding someone who feels like a safe pair of hands. Someone you can be completely honest with. Someone who will support you when things feel difficult, celebrate your successes and gently challenge you when a different perspective might help. Whether you’re a trainee taking your first steps, newly qualified or an experienced therapist looking for a fresh perspective, my hope is that supervision becomes somewhere you feel genuinely supported. Somewhere you can think out loud. Continue learning. Grow in confidence. And perhaps hear something we all need reminding of from time to time:

You’re doing a really good job, and this is difficult work

If that sounds like the kind of supervision you’re looking for, I’d be delighted to hear from you.
