Clinical Supervision for Therapists and Psychological Practitioners


Online across the UK and in person in Stourbridge, West Midlands.


I am a BABCP-accredited cognitive behavioural psychotherapist. I am an ACBS member and work within a contextual behavioural science framework, with clinical training and experience in CBT, ACT, EMDR, and CFT.


My clinical background spans across NHS primary care, community, and specialist complex treatment services, military mental health settings, and private practice. Areas of specialist experience include trauma and complex trauma, OCD, moral injury, complex and comorbid presentations, and military and veteran mental health.


Supervision Approach

Supervision is formulation-led and draws on CBT and contextual behavioural science frameworks. Sessions address case formulation, intervention planning, and reflective practice. Conceptual input around ACT and CBS is available for practitioners integrating these approaches into existing CBT practice.
Supervision can count toward BABCP accreditation requirements for both initial accreditation and ongoing maintenance.

Supervision is available to qualified psychological practitioners working within CBT and related frameworks. It may be particularly relevant to practitioners carrying complex, trauma-related, or comorbid presentations, or those seeking BABCP-compatible supervision with a formulation focus.

 

Supervision is well suited to therapists who are:

  • Working within a CBT framework and want to deepen their clinical thinking beyond the protocol — using formulation more flexibly, integrating ACT and CBS principles, and developing genuine responsiveness to what's happening in the room rather than following a manual.

  • Encountering complex, 'treatment-resistant', or comorbid presentations and wanting a supervisor with specialist experience across NHS secondary care, specialist complex treatment services, military mental health, and private practice.

  • Working toward or maintaining BABCP accreditation — as a BABCP-accredited practitioner I can support both the supervisory requirements of accreditation and ongoing CPD needs.

  • Newly qualified and building clinical confidence, or more experienced and wanting supervision that challenges your thinking rather than simply signing off your caseload.

 

There are two things I think good supervision needs to do, and they're often separated when they should be integrated.


The first is clinical development. Making sense of what's keeping a client stuck, sharpening the formulation, identifying the mechanism that needs to change rather than just the symptom being presented. This is where the ACT and contextual behavioural science framework I work within is most useful — it offers a way of thinking functionally about any presentation, regardless of diagnosis, that goes beyond protocolised treatment.


The second is reflective practice. Understanding your own reactions in the room — the pulls, the avoidances, the moments of uncertainty or over-investment — and making sense of them in a way that makes you more effective rather than more self-critical.


In practice, sessions are structured around your cases and your development needs. I bring a formulation-driven approach to case consultation — not just "what should we try next" but "what is actually maintaining this difficulty and what does that tell us about where to intervene." I also include brief process-oriented teaching or conceptual input where it's useful, particularly around ACT and CBS frameworks for therapists who want to integrate these into their existing CBT practice.
