Supervision

Supervision

Supervision is the place where the therapist is also met. Whether you are in training, newly qualified, or established in practice, this is a space for thoughtful reflection, emotional honesty, and professional strengthening without performance pressure. 

This is where your clinical work meets your internal world.

A Reflective, Relational Approach

My supervision is grounded in established supervisory frameworks, including:

• The Seven-Eyed Model (Hawkins & Shohet)
• The Cyclical Model (Page & Wosket)
• The Functional Model (Inskipp & Proctor)

These ensure the work remains ethically robust, developmentally attuned, and clinically rigorous.
Alongside these, I integrate:

• Attachment theory
• Internal Family Systems informed parts work
• Present-moment tracking and somatic awareness
• A shame-informed and honour-centred perspective

This creates supervision that is both structured and alive.

Clinical 1:1 Supervision

Individual supervision offers a focused, attuned space for your specific practice and process.
Together we explore:

• Clinical material through a shame-informed and somatic lens
• Countertransference, attachment dynamics, and parts activation
• Rupture and repair within the therapeutic relationship
• Ethical decision-making grounded in relational awareness
• Your development as a practitioner

We attend to what is happening in the room and what is happening in you.
Many therapists carry quiet shame about uncertainty, emotional activation, or not knowing. Here, those moments are not corrected or concealed. They are slowed down and understood.

This is supervision that strengthens your internal ground, not just your interventions.

Group Supervision

Maximum four practitioners. Small, contained groups create a relational field where depth is possible.
Each member has space to bring their whole self, not simply a case.
In this space you will experience:

• Insight from multiple clinical perspectives
• Relational accountability held with steadiness
• Normalisation of complexity and doubt
• Shared regulation and collective processing
• Exposure to varied approaches and lived experience
• 
  

Group supervision restores perspective, reduces isolation, and rebuilds dignity where shame has narrowed it.

The HONOUR Reflective Supervision Framework

As an integrative supervisor, I draw on a range of well-established models. Alongside these, I also work with a framework developed within Place To Talk Therapies: the HONOUR reflective supervision model.

Hear → Observe → Notice → Open → Understand → Restore

This model does not replace existing approaches. It sits alongside them as a reflective structure, supporting deeper awareness of both the client’s process and your internal experience as a therapist.
It aligns with the emphasis within the BACP Ethical Framework on reflective practice, professional accountability, and safe, ethical client care. It provides a consistent reflective thread, while allowing your own therapeutic model, training, and clinical voice to remain central.

Therapists grow not through judgement, but through safe, honest reflection.

Shame is often an unspoken layer in therapeutic work. It can manifest as over-functioning, self-criticism, comparison, or fear of exposure. In supervision, we do not bypass this. We work with it.
An honour-centred framework recognises inherent worth beyond performance. It restores dignity where shame has taken hold.
In practice this means:

• Meeting vulnerability with steadiness
• Supporting ethical clarity without harshness
• Building internal authority rather than defensive competence
• Strengthening your practitioner identity from the inside out

Supervision becomes a place where shame softens and presence deepens.

For Students and New Practitioners

The early years of practice are formative and often tender.
You may be navigating:

• Imposter feelings
• Fear of getting it wrong
• Emotional overwhelm
• Private practice isolation
• Uncertainty about your clinical voice

You are not expected to arrive fully formed. Supervision with me supports the development of a grounded practitioner identity, rooted in authenticity rather than perfection.

Supervision is where your thinking deepens, your confidence steadies, and your way of working becomes your own.

Is This Right for You?
This may be the right fit if you are:
☑ A trainee, newly qualified, or experienced practitioner
☑ Working with trauma, shame, or relational complexity
☑ Seeking depth as well as ethical rigour
☑ Wanting supervision that feels human, embodied, and alive
