Clinical Supervision For Therapists
Clinical Supervision in Farnham, Surrey
Reflective, Integrative and Trauma-Informed Supervision for Therapists
Supervision should be more than oversight.
It should be a thoughtful, containing space where you can reflect deeply on your work, develop clinical clarity and feel supported in the emotional impact of being a therapist.
I offer clinical supervision in Farnham and online for counsellors, psychotherapists and trainees working with adults, couples and young people.
With nearly 20 years’ experience in clinical practice, I bring steadiness, depth and warmth to the supervisory relationship.
My Approach to Supervision
My supervision style is relational, reflective and grounded in clinical experience.
Supervisees often describe me as:
- Calm and containing
- Warm but clear
- Gently challenging when needed
- Clinically thorough without being overwhelming
I am trained in:
- Person-Centred Therapy
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Transactional Analysis (TA)
- Existential Therapy
My clinical work has increasingly specialised in trauma-informed therapy, and this lens naturally informs how I think in supervision.
This means we consider not only symptoms and interventions, but:
- Attachment patterns
- Nervous system regulation
- Developmental trauma
- Shame dynamics
- Relational processes
- Transference and countertransference
Supervision becomes a space where formulation deepens and complexity feels manageable.
Trauma-Informed Supervision
Many therapists are now working with trauma presentations, even if that is not their explicit niche.
Clients may present with:
- Anxiety and hypervigilance
- Dissociation or shutdown
- Relational instability
- Shame and negative core beliefs
- Complex developmental histories
In supervision, we explore how trauma may be shaping the therapeutic relationship, pacing, boundaries and risk.
You do not need to be a trauma specialist to benefit from a trauma-informed lens — it simply strengthens your confidence and containment.
Supporting You as a Practitioner
Supervision is also about you.
We may explore:
- Imposter feelings or self-doubt
- Emotional fatigue or vicarious trauma
- Ethical dilemmas
- Risk and safeguarding
- Working with high-conflict couples
- Managing complexity in private practice
Many supervisees are conscientious, thoughtful therapists who hold themselves to high standards. Supervision can help you think clearly without becoming self-critical.
