Find your supervisor
Biography: I provide supervision that monitors ethical standards and practice and encourages professional development. As a supervisor, the supervision is co-created where I look to agency and empowering the supervisee when holding the client. I have over 25 years’ experience working in education with children and adolescents, half this time within the role of Dramatherapist with a particular focus on Children in Care. As a supervisor, I have experience with supervisees working with adults and young people within a range of contexts including bereavement and women’s refuge and I welcome working with supervision groups and individuals.

I believe in offering space for clients and supervisees to actively share their experiences through storytelling, body work and movement, verbal and non-verbal communication and the creative arts. My main strengths lie in my integrity, lively sense of humour, organisational skills, honesty and commitment to best practice.
I offer clinical supervision to both groups and individuals in their place of work or from my practice in Ashford in person and online. I work creatively, collaboratively and compassionately assisting adults to explore work dynamics, relationships and their practice to better support their clients and themselves within their work setting.
