My Approach:

I provide a safe and confidential space for you to reflect on your clinical practice. You may wish to talk through a specific case or issue, ideas for service development or recent research/training and its application to your practice.

Self-reflection is at the heart of developing clinical expertise. My skills as a supervisor do not lie in providing all the answers but in asking the questions that will facilitate your own problem-solving.

I provide one to one, paired or group supervision. We can meet in person or we can use Zoom to meet online.

​

​

I ensure that I receive regular supervision myself in relation to clinical practice and supervision practice, which is in line with the RCSLT supervision policy (2017).

I also offer supervision for supervisors and am listed on the Intandem Supervisor Register.
