I offer supervision to individuals and groups, online and occasionally from my practice room near Bath in the UK.

My practice is based on Internal Family Systems (IFS), underpinned by training in Psychosynthesis, AF-EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.

I am a Lead Trainer with the IFS Institute, working on Level 1 trainings in the UK and internationally.

I have a particular interest in integrating IFS with supervision/consultation.  I am author of a chapter in a book edited by Emma Redfern on IFS Supervision and Consultation, published in August 2022. Emma and I have developed a model to support the integration of IFS in the process and content of supervision: The FP8 Model of IFS Supervision and Consultation. In 2023, I piloted a 9 month training for IFS therapists based in the UK on integrating IFS into supervision and consultation.

I am interested and skilled in supporting IFS practitioners and therapists to develop and deepen their IFS practice, including those who are newly trained.  I am approved by the IFS Institute as an IFS Clinical Consultant/Supervisor. This means that IFS practitioners and therapists working towards IFS Certification can use supervision/consultation hours with me towards the required criteria.

I am happy to offer IFS consultancy to people who have another primary supervisor, or to be the primary supervisor.

I have a Diploma in Supervision, awarded by the Centre for Supervision and Team Development (CSTD). I am also a qualified coach and have a MSc in Leadership and Organisation in Public Services.

I  have a range of experience that informs my work as a supervisor. This includes working in private practice, working as a counsellor in an agency offering services to survivors of sexual assault, and, in a previous career, in a senior manager role providing supervision to front-line staff and managers within a children and families social work service.

My fee for supervision is £100 per hour. I offer sessions of an hour or 90 minutes.
