Psychodynamic Supervision

I enjoy supporting psychologists who are interested in working relationally, with a focus on psychodynamic psychotherapy.

I offer supervision to psychologists at various stages of their careers, with a particular interest in working with early-career psychologists and registrars. My goal is to help you develop your own professional self, and support you in growing into the clinician you wish to become.

A space for inquiry

While supervision must at times take on a pragmatic or practical focus, my primary aim is to offer a space where we can think together about the deeper aspects of your clinical work.

I encourage supervisees to move beyond surface-level dialogue and interventions to consider the complex, internal world of the patient, and the therapeutic dyad. This includes:

• Listening for what is not being explicitly said, and exploring the unconscious dynamics present in the consulting room.

• Observing the thoughts and feelings that arise within you during sessions, and using these responses as a source of information about the patient’s internal world, and how they relate to others.

• Thinking carefully about how the therapeutic frame is established, maintained, and challenged, and exploring what these fluctuations may mean for the therapy.

I appreciate that each psychologist comes to supervision with a different level of familiarity with this way of working. I meet you where you are, offering a space that supports your learning, while encouraging professional autonomy.

Whether you are experienced in this approach or are just beginning to explore analytic thinking, I offer a reflective space to process the emotional impact of the work, and to encourage a deeper, more sustainable clinical practice.
