Clinical Supervision
Clinical Supervision for Trauma-Focused Practice
My supervision style is supportive, reflective, and clinically rigorous, with an emphasis on both practitioner wellbeing and high-quality client care.
About Clinical Supervision
My supervision approach
Supervision with me is collaborative and formulation-driven. I aim to create a space where clinicians feel safe to think, reflect, and bring uncertainty, complexity, and emotional impact, particularly when working with high-risk or highly traumatised clients.
Supervision integrates:
- Trauma-informed and compassion-focused principles
- Teaching on Cognitive-Therapy for PTSD and Compassion-Focused Therapy
- Psychological formulation
- Ethical and professional standards
- Attention to the emotional impact of the work on the clinician
I have particular experience supervising work involving:
- Complex PTSD and dissociation
- Trauma-informed interventions
- Moral injury and systemic trauma
- High-risk and high-intensity clinical settings
I provide supervision for:
- NHS clinicians and services
- Independent and private practitioners
- Trainees (where appropriate)
- Professionals working with survivors of severe and complex trauma
