About me

You are welcome to call for a free, no-obligation chat to help you decide whether my approach fits with what you are looking for from Supervision and where you are in your HG career.

Our work is rewarding and also challenging at times and two heads are so much better than one. Offering Supervision widens my viewpoint and inspires me to keep reflecting, refreshing my skills and growing alongside my fellow practitioners. I hope to offer support and encouragement to colleagues through thoughtful discussion of cases, sharing my expertise and experience and working together in a spirit of mutual trust, generosity and kindness.

I find helping NQTs hone their skills, extend their competencies and develop their unique style and confidence is a real pleasure. Offering a sounding board for complex cases, fine-tuning interventions for individual clients and unpicking ethical issues with more experienced colleagues, is a privilege and a joy.

It is important to find the right Supervisor for you: I have taught and worked therapeutically in inner-city secondary schools, trained in Acupuncture and Cranio-Sacral therapy and have an interest in Eastern philosophy and mindfulness. I believe in offering space for colleagues to set their agenda and explore and process at their own pace. Nurturing confidence with using story and language skills is a particular pleasure.

Do call if you’d like to talk through how we might work together.

Testimonials

I really enjoyed my supervision session with you, Frances.

What I particularly appreciated was how calm and supportive you were throughout. I felt very at ease talking things through with you, and that helped me stay open and reflective rather than defensive or rushed.

You listened really carefully and validated the work I’d already been doing with this client, which was very containing. It felt affirming to have my instincts around rapport and pacing recognised, and that gave me more confidence in my approach.

Your questions were thoughtful and well‑timed. They helped me bring out the most important aspects of the case and clarify what I actually wanted help with, rather than getting lost in all the detail.
I also found your suggestions genuinely practical and immediately usable

Overall, I felt you struck a lovely balance between offering guidance and respecting my autonomy. I never felt over‑directed; it felt like you were standing alongside me, helping me think things through and build on what was already working. I came away from the session feeling reassured, resourced, and inspired, and I’d be very happy to bring more complex work to you in future.
