Clinical Supervision
Reflective, ethical supervision with a strong early-career focus.
For social workers, counsellors, educators and helping professionals.
Clinical supervision for early-career practitioners navigating responsibility, uncertainty and the shaping of their professional identity.
This work supports you to think clearly, strengthen judgement, and develop a steady, ethical way of work — without losing yourself in the process.
In the early years of practice, supervision isn't about performance or proving competence. It's about forming judgement, confidence and professional discernment over time.
This work is especially suited to:
-
students and recent graduates
-
early-career practitioners and clinicians navigating self doubt, imposter syndrome or professional identity formation
-
practitioners feeling overwhelmed, uncertain or close to burnout
-
those seeking reflective, relational supervision rather than box ticking or performance oversight
What to expect
Supervision sessions are calm, reflective and non-directive — not performance based or box-ticking.
You can expect space to:
-
Think aloud without fear of judgement
-
reflect on complex work and ethical decisions
-
explore uncertainty, self-doubt or emotional load
-
strengthen confidence and professional judgement over time
Sessions move at a pace that respects your nervous system and lived experience. There is no pressure to perform, impress or have the "right" answers.
This is a space to slow down, make sense of your work, and reconnect with your own clinical voice — particularly in the early years of practice, when confidence is still forming.
Areas of focus
Common areas we explore together include:
-
early-career confidence and professional identity
-
reflective practice and ethical discernment
-
burnout prevention and emotional sustainability
-
boundaries, responsibility and self-trust
-
embodied clinical intuition and professional judgement
-
navigating transitions, promotions or role changes
How I work
Drawing on decades of experience across social work, counselling, education and leadership, my approach integrates psychological understanding, reflective dialogue and embodied awareness.
I work with the whole practitioner — head, heart and gut — supporting not only what you know, but how you sense, decide and stay connected to yourself in the work.
I support practitioners to develop ethical and professional judgement through reflective dialogue, and embodied awareness, helping you distinguish intuition from anxiety, projection or assumption, and apply insight responsibly within scope of practice.
Supervision attends to:
-
professional identity development
-
nervous system regulation under responsibility
-
ethical clarity and decision-making
-
sustaining your self in emotionally demanding roles
This is a steady, thoughtful space grounded in reflective practice, ethical integrity and professional judgement. I do not tell you what to do; instead, I support you to think clearly, reflect deeply and develop confidence in your own clinical voice.
Supervision can also support annual professional requirements, including the supervision hours required by many counselling programs and professional bodies.
