Supervision for Practitioners

A Bit About Me

I'm a Certified Sexological Bodyworker (CSB) and Certified Somatic Sex Educator (CSSE), and I served as Secretary of the Association of Certified Sexological Bodyworkers (ACSB) for several years. That time on the board gave me a deep understanding of the ethical frameworks that guide our profession, not as rules to follow blindly, but as living principles that require ongoing reflection and interpretation.

I was also part of the teaching team for the Sexological Bodywork Certification training, supporting students through their learning and development. So I've been on the other side. I understand what it's like to be finding your feet in this work, navigating your first client sessions, and trying to integrate everything you've learned into your own authentic practice.

Beyond my formal qualifications, I bring over 20 years as a transformational coach, more than 15 years with Landmark (where I was a seminar leader), and 6+ years training as a Clean Language facilitator. The Clean Language piece is particularly relevant to supervision. It's an approach that helps me support you in finding your own answers rather than imposing mine.

I've been studying Tantra for over 10 years, and it deeply informs how I hold this work: the integration of mind, body, and spirit, and the understanding that sexuality can be a path to wholeness. I'm also trained in Reiki and Kundalini Activation. So if you work with energy, spirituality, or the more subtle dimensions of this work, whether explicitly or as something that simply shows up in sessions, I can meet you there. And if you're navigating how to hold the intersection of sexuality and spirituality with your clients, that's territory I know well.

I'm bisexual, polyamorous, and have personal experience in the kink and BDSM world. I mention this because it shapes what I can hold space for. If your clients bring kink dynamics, alternative relationship structures, or queer experiences into sessions, I get it. You won't need to educate me or worry about my reactions. I've lived in these worlds, not just studied them.

What I Stand For

Ethics as a living practice, not a checklist

Ethics in our field isn't about memorising rules. It's about developing the capacity to navigate complexity with integrity. I'm interested in supporting practitioners who want to do this work well, who care about the impact they have, and who are willing to look honestly at their edges.

All bodies, all orientations, all relationship structures

I work from a place of genuine welcome for diversity, not performative inclusion, but real understanding. Whether your clients are queer, trans, polyamorous, kinky, from different cultural or religious backgrounds, or navigating disability and chronic illness, I can support you in supporting them.

The body as teacher

I believe our bodies hold wisdom that our minds haven't caught up with yet. This applies to supervision too. I'm interested in what's happening somatically for you in your practice, not just the cognitive content.

Consent as culture, not just protocol

Consent isn't something we do at the beginning of a session and forget about. It's an ongoing orientation. In supervision, you lead what we explore. I hold the space, I might offer observations or questions, but this is your process.

Sustainability over burnout

This work asks a lot of us. I'm interested in helping practitioners build sustainable practices, ones that nourish rather than deplete. That includes looking at what comes up for us personally when we do this work.

Who I Work With

I offer supervision to:

• Certified Sexological Bodyworkers and Somatic Sex Educators
• Students currently in training
• Bodyworkers and massage therapists who work with intimate touch
• Coaches and practitioners working in the sexuality field
• Anyone doing somatic work who encounters sexual energy, trauma, or intimacy in their practice

Whether you're newly certified and finding your way, or experienced and wanting a space for reflection and development, supervision can support you.

What We Might Explore Together

Every supervision relationship is different, shaped by what you bring. But here are some things practitioners often explore with me:

When something feels "off": That session that keeps playing on your mind. The boundary that felt unclear. The moment you weren't sure how to respond. Supervision gives you space to unpack what happened and find your way forward.

Ethical complexity: Our work is full of grey areas. What's appropriate touch? How do we hold erotic energy professionally? When should we refer on? When is a dual relationship okay and when isn't it? These questions don't have simple answers, but they deserve careful exploration.

Your own stuff: Let's be real: this work activates us. Our own material shows up. Sometimes it's useful. It gives us empathy and understanding. Sometimes it gets in the way. Supervision provides a space to acknowledge and work with what arises for you, so it doesn't unconsciously affect your client work.

Kink, BDSM, and power dynamics: If your clients bring these themes, you need a supervisor who understands them. I can help you navigate conscious kink work, distinguish between healthy power exchange and harmful dynamics, and hold these experiences without judgement.

Working across difference: Supporting clients whose backgrounds, identities, or experiences differ from your own. Developing cultural humility. Recognising your blind spots.

Building your practice: Not just clinical skills, but the business of running a practice. I've been doing this for a long time and I'm happy to share what I've learned.

Professional requirements: The ACSB recommends a minimum of two supervision sessions per year, with more recommended depending on your caseload. Regular supervision demonstrates your commitment to ethical practice.

My Approach

Clean Language informed: I've trained extensively in Clean Language, which shapes how I hold supervision. I ask questions that help you explore your own experience without imposing my interpretations. This supports you in developing your own professional voice and finding your own clarity.

Somatic awareness: I'm interested in what's happening in your body, not just what you're thinking. Sometimes our bodies know things before our minds do.

Non-judgmental space: Whatever you bring, I'm not going to shame you for it. That doesn't mean I won't challenge you or offer a different perspective, but it comes from a place of care, not criticism.

Practical and grounded: I run a busy practice myself. I understand the real-world challenges of this work, not just the theory.

How It Works

Sessions are available online via Zoom or in person at my North London (N11) practice.

We'd typically work in 60-90 minute sessions. You might book:

• Single sessions as and when you need them
• Regular ongoing supervision (monthly or every few weeks)
• A package of sessions if you're in training

I'm also open to offering group supervision in future. If that's something you're interested in, let me know.

Getting Started

The first step is a conversation to see if we're a good fit. Supervision is a relationship, and the fit matters. This isn't a formal discovery call, just a chance to connect and ask any questions.
