My Professional Background

I bring to my supervision practice over 15 years of direct clinical experience, across the military, the NHS, and private practice:

 

Military Mental Health (British Army)

I began my career as a uniformed mental health clinician within the British Army. In that role I worked extensively with service personnel facing trauma, operational stress, and the moral pressures associated with high-stakes professional roles. This early experience shaped my understanding of both trauma and ethical complexity in practice.

​

NHS Complex Case Work

After military service, I moved into NHS mental health, where I have worked across multiple services delivering therapy for individuals with complex and enduring psychological needs. My NHS work has involved:

• Trauma-focused interventions (PTSD, complex trauma, moral injury)

• High-risk case management

• Work with professionals and healthcare staff carrying systemic strain

• Complex comorbidity and chronic mental health presentations

• Clinical training and supervision

This clinical background means that I supervise practitioners across a broad range of presenting difficulties, including trauma-focused work, long-term complex care, risk management, and the psychological demands of clinical responsibility itself.

​

Private Sector:

I have experience in private healthcare and have provided CPD training to organisations including the MOD, the NHS, charities, as well as individual practitioners, alongside psychotherapy for private clients.

​

Supervision and Professional Services

My practice focuses on:

• Clinical supervision for therapists managing complex or  demanding clinical caseloads

• Supervision of supervision for clinical supervisors

• Specialist CPD workshops on ACT & CBT, trauma, moral injury, and complex case formulation 

• Psychotherapy for individuals, particularly those carrying trauma or role-related strain

​

My Approach to Supervision

Supervision provides a protected space for clinicians to:

• Work through complex clinical cases

• Strengthen clinical reasoning and treatment planning

• Explore ethical and systemic dimensions of care

• Reflect on professional identity and responsibility

• Sustain confidence and resilience in challenging roles

​

I aim to create a supervision & training spaces where complex clinical work can be examined carefully and practically, balancing clinical models, client realities, and professional responsibility.
