My background as a supervisor

Academic clinical supervision in leading universities

Experience of collaborating with three universities consistently ranked among the top 1% worldwide, providing:

• Individual and group CBT supervision
• Evaluation of therapy recordings and written assignments
• Academic support for postgraduate students (PGCert, PGDip, MSc, Doctorate level)
• Teaching and skills-based workshops

In these contexts, I have supported therapists at different stages of development — from trainees in their first clinical placements to clinicians preparing for accreditation and experienced practitioners refining advanced competencies.

Supervision in numbers and competencies

Over the course of my work, I have:

•  Supervised more than 50 CBT therapists and clinical psychologists in training and professional practice
• Delivered supervision in three languages (English, Japanese, and Italian)
• Completed formal academic training in CBT clinical supervision
• Provided over 150 hours of individual and group supervision in 2025 alone

Supervision has included:

• Structured case formulation
• Treatment planning and intervention strategy
• Competency development in CBT
• Trauma-focused supervision and comorbidity management
• Reflective practice and therapist wellbeing
• Review of session recordings and structured feedback

Competency-based supervision

I have experience of regularly evaluating clinical competencies and therapy recordings using validated academic scales, as follows:

• ACCS – Assessment of Core CBT Skills
• CTS-R – Cognitive Therapy Scale – Revised
• UCL Competence Rating Scale

This ensures supervision remains structured, measurable, and aligned with recognised training standards.
