Clinical supervision is a vital part of ethical, effective therapeutic practice – but it should also be a supportive, reflective, and growth-enhancing space, not just a requirement to be ticked off.
I offer a collaborative supervision relationship where you can think deeply about your work, feel supported in challenges, and develop confidence in your clinical judgement. Supervision with me is a place to pause, reflect, and make sense of the therapeutic process – for the benefit of both you and your clients.
Evidence of regular supervision is required by professional bodies, but my aim is to offer something more: a space where you feel heard, respected, and encouraged to develop your own therapeutic voice.
What you can expect from supervision
My approach to supervision integrates supportive, monitoring, and developmental functions, tailored to your stage of practice and individual needs.
Supportive function
Supervision provides a safe and containing space where you can:
- Build a strong, trusting supervisory relationship.
- Feel listened to and understood.
- “Blow off steam” and process the emotional impact of the work.
- Have your good practice recognised and validated.
- Explore personal reactions and feelings safely and honestly.
- Identify where additional support may be helpful.
Monitoring function
To support ethical and effective practice, supervision also includes:
- Constructive and thoughtful feedback.
- Gentle challenge where it supports learning and growth.
- Attention to ethical practice and professional standards.
- Space to think through dilemmas with care and clarity.
Developmental and educative function
Supervision is an opportunity to deepen your clinical understanding by reflecting on:
- Your clients and their presenting problems.
- Therapeutic interactions and what is (or isn’t) working.
- The therapeutic relationship.
- Your own responses, reactions, and use of self.
- Conceptualising the therapeutic process more confidently.
