Reflective clinical supervision for counsellors, psychotherapists, play and creative arts therapists.

A difficult session, an ethical question, or a sense of being stuck can stay with you. I offer space to think through your client work, explore its impact on you and consider your next steps with care.

Online UK-wide and in person in the West Midlands, with evening and weekend appointments.

We can discuss what you are looking for, your practice and supervision requirements, and whether working together feels like a good fit.

Body-informed supervision includes attention to your bodily responses and the therapeutic relationship alongside case discussion, ethics, theory and safeguarding. You do not need to practise somatic therapy or adopt a new therapeutic model.

What to expect

Supervision is a place to slow down and think deeply about your clinical work. Alongside ethical reflection and case discussion, we may also pay attention to what is happening somatically, relationally and non-verbally.

Together we explore:

• therapeutic relationships
• complex cases
• embodied responses
• countertransference
• regulation
• developmental trauma
• safeguarding
• ethics and boundaries
• creative and non-verbal processes
• practitioner impact and professional wellbeing

Do I need to use clay?

No. Supervision can take place through conversation and reflection, without clay or other materials.

Where useful, we can agree to include Clay Field work or another creative way of exploring your experience. This is optional and discussed together.

You do not need artistic skills or previous Clay Field experience.

Our focus remains your professional practice, with attention to ethics, safeguarding and the needs of the people you support.

Suitable for

I work with counsellors, psychotherapists, play and creative arts therapists, Clay Field Therapy® practitioners, and other practitioners interested in relational, embodied or trauma-informed work.

You do not need to practise a body-based therapy to work with me.

I also welcome student and trainee therapists. Where supervision is being used to meet course or placement requirements, we can check that my qualifications and approach meet the expectations of your training provider or professional body before beginning.

My approach to supervision

I hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Supervision and work within the Seven-Eyed Model, integrating relational, systemic and practitioner-focused reflection. My approach is rooted in person-centred values and informed by experience across NHS bereavement services, counselling, play therapy, service leadership and Clay Field Therapy®. I offer a reflective space that combines rigorous clinical thinking with embodied and relational awareness, with attention to ethics, safeguarding, complexity, practitioner impact and the wider context of the work.

Session format and availability

Online supervision is available UK-wide, with in-person supervision available in the West Midlands. Appointments are available in the evenings and at weekends; please enquire about current availability.

Choose from 60- or 90-minute sessions, either as one-off consultations or ongoing monthly or fortnightly supervision.

Individual supervision is tailored to your therapeutic approach, level of experience and the complexity of the work you are holding.

Clinical supervision and reflective consultations

I offer both ongoing clinical supervision and one-off reflective consultations. Ongoing supervision is contracted around your role, professional responsibilities and any organisational or professional-body requirements. One-off consultations provide focused space to think about a particular case, dilemma or aspect of practice, but are not a substitute for your regular clinical supervision where this is required.

Both are approached with clear boundaries around confidentiality, safeguarding and professional responsibility. Where concerns arise about risk, safeguarding or serious professional issues, these are discussed openly and managed in line with relevant ethical and professional requirements.

Supervision works best when the relationship feels like a good fit. If you’re looking for a reflective space that makes room for both careful clinical thinking and embodied understanding, you’re welcome to begin with an informal conversation.

Simon creates a space where I can think more clearly about both my clients and myself as a therapist.
