EMDR Supervision

My name is Paul, and I am an EMDR Consultant offering supervision in Gosforth, Newcastle, and online.

I have over a decade of experience in psychotherapy and EMDR. During this time, I have worked across a range of settings, from frontline roles in the homelessness sector to specialist trauma therapy.

As a result, my EMDR consultation is shaped by a broad and grounded clinical perspective.

I work with therapists who want to deepen their confidence and competence in EMDR. This is especially relevant when working with complex presentations, including dissociation and attachment difficulties.

My style is collaborative and reflective. At the same time, I draw on my humanistic roots to create a supervisory relationship that feels both supportive and appropriately challenging.

Prior to entering private practice, I worked across a range of statutory and third-sector settings. Each role shaped my clinical thinking in different ways.

My career began fifteen years ago as a counsellor with Mind. Here, I gained early experience working with a wide range of mental health difficulties.

From there, I moved into a Hospital Discharge role within an acute mental health unit. I supported individuals through the vulnerable transition out of inpatient care. During this time, I expanded my clinical toolkit, including training in CBT, DBT, and group facilitation.

When that funding ended, I moved into suicide intervention skills training. I delivered programmes to professionals across a wide range of sectors. As a result, this experience strengthened both my training practice and my understanding of how different systems respond to risk.

I then took on the role of Mental Health Coordinator at a national homeless charity. In this position, I supervised volunteer counsellors and worked directly with clients presenting with highly complex needs.

This role marked a significant shift in my development as a supervisor. It was also where I completed my in-house supervision training. This became a strong foundation for my later work, alongside my EMDR Consultant qualification, giving me a thorough grounding in both clinical and supervisory practice.
