Clinical Supervision & Consultation
Working with people can be complex, challenging and deeply rewarding. Sometimes we need space to step back, think things through, explore different perspectives or simply acknowledge the impact the work is having on us.
I offer individual clinical supervision, group reflective practice and professional consultation, grounded in over 10 years' experience working with trauma, sexual assault and family violence.
My aim is to help practitioners navigate complexity without becoming overwhelmed by it, and build confidence in their own clinical thinking.
Individual Clinical Supervision
I offer clinical supervision for counsellors, psychotherapists and other therapeutic practitioners, whether you're relatively new to the work or an experienced therapist navigating complex presentations.
Supervision might involve:
-
Exploring complex clinical presentations and therapeutic relationships
-
Thinking through treatment approaches and clinical decision-making
-
Reflecting on boundaries, ruptures and ethical dilemmas
-
Understanding your own responses and the impact of the work
-
Developing skills, confidence and sustainable ways of practising
I believe good supervision should leave you with more than an answer to the immediate question. It should help you become more curious, thoughtful and confident in your own clinical judgement.
And sometimes the most useful thing we can do is simply make space to say, "I'm really not sure what to do with this." Let's start there.
Group Reflective Practice
Group reflection offers something individual supervision can't always provide: the opportunity to learn from each other's experiences, recognise shared challenges and explore different ways of understanding the work.
I facilitate reflective practice groups for therapeutic practitioners and professional teams, creating space for curiosity, discussion and shared learning rather than simply another case discussion or team meeting.
We might explore complex situations, professional boundaries, the emotional and relational impacts of the work, or what sustainable practice looks like in challenging environments.
The aim isn't to find a perfect answer to every difficult situation. It's to develop our capacity to think together.
Trauma-Informed Consultation
You don't need to be a trauma specialist to encounter trauma in your work.
Professionals across health, education and community services regularly support people affected by trauma, family violence or sexual violence, often while navigating complex responsibilities and competing demands.
You might be wondering:
-
How do I ask about family or sexual violence without making things worse?
-
What should I do when someone discloses something concerning?
-
How do I recognise and respond to risk?
-
What are my reporting or information-sharing obligations?
-
How do I provide appropriate support within the boundaries of my role?
I offer consultation to help professionals think through these situations, understand their responsibilities and build confidence in responding with care.
Sometimes that means practical guidance around risk, referrals or professional obligations.
Other times, it's about making space to reflect on the uncertainty, complexity or personal impact of the work.
