Biography
Anne worked as a counsellor in a NHS Mental Health Trust and at
Terrence Higgins Trust. She has been a supervisor at Wimbledon
Guild and taught counselling and therapy in several settings. Her
interest in attachment theory comes from her individual
psychotherapy training at the Bowlby Centre; her interest in
systemic therapy comes from her later training with Relate. Both of
these interests informed the dissertation of her Supervision MA
which looked at the impact of the supervisor’s attunement on the
supervisee’s curiosity. Her clinical work is now in private
practice with individuals and couples and she teaches supervision
at Westminster Pastoral Foundation. She is co-editor of Supervision
Review (available online at www.supervision.org.uk).
Course Development
CIn the 1990s Anne developed and taught a module in life cycle
issues for fourth year therapists at the Bowlby Centre, covering
midlife and older age. She has also taken an active part in
updating the curriculum in her other teaching roles – formerly
counselling skills and theory at Westminster Adult Education and
currently at Wpf/ Roehampton.
