I believe self awareness is key for practitioners working in therapeutic settings, to ensure ongoing best practice and avoid burnout and compassion fatigue, minimising the effects of vicarious trauma (taking on the trauma experienced by our clients). Regular supervision ensures a commitment to self-care and self-reflection that can only enhance your practice with clients, as well as providing you with support and skill development.
It is an opportunity to accelerate your growth and development as a practitioner, reflect on career expansion, and explore what else is possible for you as a person, working in this field.
In my experience, external supervision is equally as important as internal supervision, as it provides a space for confidential clinical and personal career reflection which is not impacted by the needs of the organisation.
I bring my passion for self awareness, embodiment and process-focused practice to my supervision sessions, as well as 20 years' clinical experience. I have participated in extensive individual and group supervision and reflective practice throughout my career.
‘Embodied’ supervision incorporates the practitioner’s humanity, physical form, sexuality, identity, dreams, desires, professionalism, education, history, experiences, values and ethical frameworks into explorations about the spaces created by client, clinician, organisation and the culture/s these sit within.
My role as supervisor is to guide, mentor, inspire, emotionally support you and help grow your insight and understanding into yourself and your clients/practice. As a supervisee, your role is to bring cases, structural and practice dilemmas, and your vision for yourself as a professional, for us to explore, experiment with, and evaluate.
