Collaborative Supervision to Support Your Growth as a Therapist

A Supportive Space to Strengthen Your Clinical Practice

Whether you're working toward registration, building confidence in your clinical work, or seeking a reflective space to continue growing as a therapist, I offer supervision that is collaborative, grounding, and tailored to your professional goals.

Clinical supervision offers a space to deepen your understanding of client work, strengthen your clinical decision-making, and support both personal and professional development. My role is to provide thoughtful guidance, constructive feedback, and a non-judgmental space for exploration and reflection.

My Approach to Clinical Supervision

I offer supervision that is gentle, collaborative, and grounded in curiosity, compassion, and professionalism. My style is open-ended and conversational, allowing you to guide the focus of each session based on what feels most pressing or meaningful in your work.

Supervision with me is a space where you can speak openly about both your challenges and your wins. I aim to foster a supportive relationship where self-reflection, ethical practice, creativity, and professional growth are always encouraged. Whether you're looking for guidance, reassurance, or simply space to process your work, I’ll meet you where you are and support your growth with care and clarity.
