What to Expect in Supervision

Supervision with me is a space to think deeply, feel supported, and refine the craft of therapeutic work — especially when you are sitting with stories that are layered, complex, and sometimes confronting.

My intention is to create a reflective space where you feel safe to slow down, bring curiosity to what is unfolding, and connect with your clinical judgment and values.

Here’s how we work together:

A space for clinical clarity

We will explore each client’s story through an integrated, trauma-aware lens — considering nervous system responses, attachment patterns, relational dynamics, and risk. Together, we look for what matters most:

• What is the core formulation?

• How does context shape presentation?

• What needs to change and what needs to be honoured?

The goal is always better outcomes, grounded in evidence and attunement.

A structured approach to risk and safety

We will think carefully about risk — not as a checkbox, but as something fluid and relational.

I will support you to:

• assess and monitor risk thoughtfully and ethically

• navigate high-stakes decision making

• work collaboratively with systems

• maintain safety without losing compassion

This is where professionalism and humanity meet.

Skill development with purpose

We will focus on interventions that fit the person in front of you — Schema Therapy, MBT, DBT, EMDR, and polyvagal-informed approaches, among others. You’ll have space to:

• practice techniques

• review process issues

• strengthen therapeutic boundaries

• feel more confident responding to complexity

It’s applied learning — not supervision that lives only in theory.

Awareness of the relationship — both yours and mine

Therapy happens between people. So does supervision.

We’ll explore:

• your emotional responses to clients

• relational patterns that show up in the room

• what feels challenging — and why?

• how to stay centred in your therapeutic stance

This is where growth often emerges.

Support for you in the work

Holding trauma, risk and relational intensity can take a toll.

Supervision with me is a place to:

• experience containment and care

• name what is heavy

• reconnect with your why

• maintain longevity in this profession

Sustainable practice matters.

In essence

Supervision is a partnership — grounded in respect, clinical rigor, and a shared commitment to the people we serve.

My role is to walk alongside you as you build confidence, competency and a clinical voice you trust.

When you show up with openness, I will meet you with curiosity, structure, and warmth.
