Daryl - "Stephanie's personality, 'way of being,' diverse experience and resourcefulness made her the ideal supervisor...
in my quest for improving and furthering my practice. Her honesty and openness to both of our experiences made me feel that I am relating to another human as opposed to a 'critic.' She has a natural ease when relating to me even on matters in which we have different philosophical and cultural view points. As a person she is quite sociable and warm, with a very frank but gentle, polite and calming spirit. As a professional two things stood out for me the most; firstly, she was always keen on researching and following through on issues that developed through our session in order to assist me in my professional development. Secondly, her willingness to incorporate technology in her practice is noteworthy, as all of our sessions have been long distance. Her promptness in responding to my correspondences were remarkable. This conveyed to me that Stephanie is genuinely committed to what she does and above all, she is willing to meet my needs as a client despite the occasional technical challenges that can be expected using these virtual spaces. I wish her the best in her endeavours and highly recommend her as therapist and/or supervisor to anyone who wish to access her services. "
Emmanuel - "Stephanie’s ability to instill confidence and self-compassion in our supervision session is what I value the most in our alliance....
She encourages me to continuously reflect on my way of being with my client but also provides essential guidance on developing a creative ethical practice. Since I’ve started working with Stephanie, I’ve gained more insight about building a therapeutic relationship with my clients – this is a learning outcome for me. As a young counsellor, I know that I can trust her skills, experience and professionalism to guide me through the challenges of my work. Also, Stephanie remains always accessible as a person and as a supervisor for support. I look forward to continuing working with her for many years to come."
Nikita - "Starting off as a counsellor seemed a daunting experience, but with Stephanie’s guidance and supervision I have become more self-confident about my ability to practise....
I have always doubted myself in terms of whether I am doing things right, or maybe I should have done this instead of that but with Stephanie’s supervision I have been able to build upon my confidence and believe in myself as a counsellor and it is due Stephanie that I have experienced in myself and in my counselling such positive results and changes which are continuously developing. I trust Stephanie as a supervisor entirely as she has provided me with a safe and comfortable space in which I have been able to express myself completely without feeling judged, or apprehensive about expressing myself, and the way in which Stephanie has worked with me has been so supportive from the way she has empathised with me, understood me, and explored things with me. Without Stephanie’s supervision I don’t believe that I would be in this strong state of mind as a counsellor as she has guided me so well that I am grateful to have had such an amazing supervisor and I am excited to continue working with her. Without Stephanie I know that I would not have had such a good and strong understanding of therapeutic relationships with clients as I do now. She has been a big factor in my learning and developing process as a counsellor and without her I don’t believe I would be in the position that I am in now. So thank you Stephanie!"
Cheryl - "As a supervisor Stephanie shows evidence of all Rogers’ core conditions, empowering the supervisee and thus enabling them to be ‘real’ and open....
She is both warm and humorous, and generous in sharing her counselling experience. I would trust her implicitly with regards to her guidance as to how best to help my clients whilst at the same time taking care of myself.

Anna - "My experience working with Stephanie has been one of a woman who couples altruistic enthusiasm with hard work....
She offers me encouragement and inspiration, and brings her considerable experience and talents to bear on my cases when need be. Good-natured and very pleasant to work with, her unequivocal empathy and knowledge allow her to approach each case with the required sensitivity.
