Clinical Supervision

What Is Clinical Supervision?

I love my work as a supervisor and feel passionate about supporting other practitioners in their development and growth as therapists. I take a Person-centred, Reflective practice approach, providing a safe and supportive space where counsellors are able to reflect on their work with clients, as well as their own experience.

Whilst I provide feedback and guidance on client work, I also support the therapist to draw on their own experience and knowledge. I see my role as supervisor as one of holding the therapist so they are able to hold their clients.

Sometimes the focus of the session will be on the therapist's experience and their own process or responses to clients. Other times we will discuss a specific approach or intervention and how it could be applied. There may also be times when we will discuss personal issues and their impact on the therapist's life and work.

I am interested in the whole person, the 'self as therapist' and how I can best support them, in service to their clients and in their own development and growth.

Your Experience

What to Expect

A Supportive Professional Relationship

Supervision sessions provide a confidential space to explore your clinical work, your development as a therapist, and the personal dimensions of your professional life. Whether you are a trainee or an experienced practitioner, the focus is always on supporting you to do your best work.

Group supervision sessions on Thursday mornings offer the additional benefit of peer learning, shared experience, and connection with other like-minded practitioners.
