Supervision, Consultation & Reflective Support
For clinicians, professionals, and those doing difficult human work
I offer individual supervision and consultation, group supervision, and group spaces focused on self-care and psychological sustainability for those doing difficult human work — supporting people to remain grounded, connected, and well inside work that is often intense and morally demanding.
This work spans formal clinical supervision for therapists working towards or beyond accreditation, through to reflective support for humanitarian workers, researchers, mediators, and others carrying the weight of work that is intense, ethically charged, and often invisible to those around them.
What connects all of it is this: the people I work with are doing serious, demanding work in the world, and they need somewhere steady to think about it.
Clinical Supervision & EMDR Consultation
I am an accredited EMDR Consultant and offer supervision for EMDR therapists working towards Practitioner or Consultant accreditation, as well as for those who simply want rigorous, experienced oversight of their EMDR practice.
I also offer clinical supervision more broadly for psychotherapists, psychologists, counsellors, and mental health practitioners working with trauma, complex presentations, and ethically demanding caseloads.
Supervision creates space to slow down and think carefully about complex cases, difficult material, and the emotional and ethical load of clinical work. It also attends to how that work shapes the nervous system and sense of self over time.
Who I Work With
Not all demanding work happens in clinical settings — and not all of the people doing it have access to the kind of reflective support they need.
I work with humanitarian workers, researchers, mediators, dialogue practitioners, and those in ethically complex professional roles who need a contained, professional space to explore the messy reality of their work — the weight of responsibility, the helplessness, the moral complexity, and the longer-term impact of bearing witness to difficult human experiences.
This is not therapy. It is a thinking space — one that takes seriously both the work itself and the person doing it.
I also work with researchers whose work sits at the intersection of psychotherapy and lived human experience, supporting them to hold the psychological and intellectual weight of that territory.
I work with:
-
EMDR therapists working towards practitioner or consultant accreditation
-
Psychotherapists, psychologists, counsellors, and mental health practitioners
-
Humanitarian workers and NGO staff
-
Researchers working in trauma-adjacent or ethically complex fields
-
Mediators, facilitators, and dialogue practitioners
-
Caseworkers, social care professionals, and frontline staff
-
Those in any role carrying significant moral, emotional, or ethical weight
How I Work
My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and reflective — grounded in both extensive clinical practice and applied research in complex human contexts.
I have worked in Iraq, Syria, Myanmar, and India, providing therapy, supervision, and training in humanitarian settings shaped by conflict, displacement, and prolonged adversity. This experience informs what I bring to supervision and consultation — particularly with those working in international, post-conflict, or politically difficult environments.
I understand the particular exhaustion of work that matters enormously but is rarely seen. I understand moral injury, secondary trauma, and the slow erosion that comes from carrying too much for too long without adequate support. And I understand the difference between processing the impact of that work and turning it into something else.
Formats of Support
I offer individual supervision and consultation, group supervision, and team-based reflective spaces. Support is available online and, where appropriate, in person.
For organisations seeking bespoke support for teams doing complex or demanding work, I am open to conversation about what that might look like
Support can be delivered online or in person (where appropriate), for individuals, teams, and organisations working locally or internationally.
