What Is Clinical Supervision?
I am a Qualified supervisor registered under the BACP. I studied to Diploma level for my supervision qualification. I place great emphasis on supporting supervisee's to navigate their own journey within their therapeutic or clinical supportive role.
I work within Willow Therapy a practice I have developed and grown over the past 12 years. Prior to this I was a clinical therapist and a holistic teacher.
I draw on my experiences of working in NHS hospitals, hospices, schools and academies over the past 20 years. I now work with families adults and children. I have worked alongside CAMHS and CAFCAS as agencies.
I work with families in crisis and am able to support clients with further links to outside agencies. This knowledge and experience is utilised when supporting my supervisee's on their own journey with their clients.
I work from several theoretical models when supporting you as a counsellor. I am an integrative counsellor and added my family training with the Adlerain college. I draw on these modalities when working with my supervisee's.
Supervision can be a place where a living profession breathes and learns

I lead a group of affiliate practitioners here at Willow and appreciate the Importance of a good connection, communication and holding support. I value the learning I too gain from my supervisor and place great emphasis on our professional and therapeutic relationship. Whilst always monitoring safety, safe practice and ethical practice. I equally place great value on learning and theory, weaving this into our work when needed and appropriate.
I have a keen interest in supporting counsellors to set up their own private practice.
Please do contact me for a conversation regarding your supervision needs.

I have been working with Becky since October 2021, and during that time, we have built up a good working relationship. Becky is supportive of my work and encourages me to step outside my comfort zone to take on new challenges. She is not afraid to challenge me on the frequent occasions that I question my skill and ability.
I work as a school counsellor, and Becky is a great teacher and brings her extensive knowledge of working with children, young people and their families into our supervision. She is very experienced in supporting families through the Family Courts and has a wealth of knowledge and ideas on working with young people, which she shares, and I can then, in turn, use within my own practice.
She is particularly good at supporting with contracting, safeguarding and policy making and ensuring that I am keeping myself protected as well as the client. Becky has a lovely, gentle manner and is extremely approachable, and I would highly recommend her as a supervisor. I have complete trust in her and am very grateful for all the support that she gives me. Thank you, Becky!

I really enjoy having Becky as my supervisor because she creates a supportive and encouraging space whilst also being very direct and honest in a way that helps me grow professionally. She challenges me thoughtfully, holds me accountable, and encourages me to reflect more deeply on both my client work and myself as a practitioner.
I really value the balance she brings between challenge and support, as I always feel encouraged whilst also being pushed to develop further. Becky is also incredibly generous with her knowledge and resources, often sharing multiple helpful materials immediately after our meetings, which has been hugely valuable for my learning and development. Her breadth of knowledge, responsiveness, and willingness to offer practical support make supervision feel both grounding and growth-oriented.

I cannot recommend or thank Becky enough for the professionalism, care and compassion that she shows as my supervisor.
I started working with Becky at the start of my placement, whilst undertaking my Level 4 Integrative Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. From the outset, Becky brought a calm and professional presence to the relationship, supporting me with my initial steps into client work.
It is only now, on reflection, that I can appreciate how Becky's gently supportive approach instilled in me a subtle confidence and belief that, with her alongside me in my learning, I was capable of working safely and ethically with an array of clients; something which was immensely reassuring.
Becky has such a lovely manner in her interactions. Whilst she demonstrates the depth of her extensive professional experience in conversations, she does so in a way where one doesn't feel intimidated to share and reflect on how to potentially take a different approach next time. For me, this is a real skill, striking the balance between being sufficiently directive, based on the significant experience she has, and allowing the supervisee autonomy to reflect without feeling self-conscious.
I feel what makes Becky unique in her supervision is her desire to understand me as a person and how this may potentially play into how I am in the therapy room. Becky has taken the time to get to know me and my story, which has been incredibly useful, such that she is best placed to offer professional challenge as and when required.
I have always felt like I can be my authentic self with Becky and, in turn, respect the times when she may highlight something that may be useful to take to my own personal therapy. For me, this unique blend between the professional and personal has been immensely helpful for both my learning and growth.
In summary, Becky is a highly experienced, diligent and personable supervisor. She works to consistently facilitate a relationship where her supervisees have the time and space to reflect and learn, offering supportive challenge and a focus on keeping our ethical responsibilities at the forefront of client work. Anyone working with Becky will be extremely lucky to share in her professional knowledge and experience.
