In this workshop, we will be looking at the essentials of supervision for the new private practitioner. In order to run both ethical and thriving practice in this niche sector, I will be discussing the importance of having a supervisor who knows the sector well, and is able to assist with all the ‘regular’ tasks of supervision, as well as those, that are more pertinent to just the private practice setting.
This workshop will appeal to supervisors who may be curious about specialising with new private practitioners; supervisors who already work with private practitioners, students looking to potentially move into private practice, and private practitioners who may be interested to hear what my thoughts are on the private practice supervision space.

She was instrumental in the creation of the Private practice toolkit, at the British Association for Psychotherapy and Counselling (BACP). She acted as the Private Practice executive divisional lead on the project, and also contributed to a large number of both written and recorded, resources.
