Clinical Supervision
Reflective clinical supervision
I offer a reflective, relational supervisory space where supervisees can think deeply about their clinical work, themselves as practitioners, and the therapeutic relationship.
Supervision as a safe, containing space
I am particularly mindful of how vulnerable supervision can feel. I work carefully to ensure that supervision is experienced as a safe, non-judgemental, and containing space, where doubts, questions, and moments of not-knowing can be spoken without fear of criticism or shame.
Supervision with me is collaborative rather than prescriptive. I’m interested not only in what is happening in the work, but in how it is lived and felt — by you, by your clients, and within the relational field between you.
My approach to supervision
My supervisory approach is grounded in relational psychodynamic and humanistic existential-phenomenological thinking, with a strong emphasis on reflective practice and awareness of the body.
Relevant topics might include:
- The emotional impact of the work on you
- Relational dynamics with clients
- Parallel process and relational patterns
- Ethical tensions and professional responsibilities
- Issues of power, difference, and identity
- Moments of stuckness, uncertainty, or concern
Alongside reflection, I hold a clear focus on ethical practice, professional standards, and the responsibilities involved in working with vulnerability and risk.
Supervision models I can refer to may include the cyclical model (Page and Wosket, 2015), the seven-eyed model (Hawkins and Shohet, 2012) and its queer counterpart (Hawkins and Neves, 2025), the nine-eyed model of anti-oppressive supervision (Kahn, 2023), and the developmental model of supervision Stoltenberg and Delworth (1998).
Who I tend to work well with
- People who value reflective depth rather than purely directive supervision
- Practitioners curious about emotional and relational processes
- Those who want a relationship that supports professional and personal development
Warm, thoughtful, and containing
Supervisees often describe my supervision style as warm, thoughtful, and containing; relational and emotionally attuned; and supportive of uncertainty, learning, and growth.
Online and/or in person
Supervision is offered online and/or in person (as applicable). I’m very happy to offer an initial conversation to explore whether working together feels like a good fit for both of us.
