“Supervision is essential to how practitioners sustain good practice. It provides practitioners with regular opportunities to reflect on all aspects of their practice in order to work as effectively, safely and ethically as possible”
(BACP Good Practice in Action)
Clinical Supervision
Clinical supervision is at the heart of keeping us safe and sane in our work. It is a parallel relationship to the one you provide to your clients, a confidential space where you can fully express how it is for you working as a therapist. A good supervisory relationship is one where you feel understood, validated, reassured and positively challenged to keep learning and growing.
Clinical supervision strikes a balance between you, your clients and your practice.
Some of the key elements of supervision include:
- Development: to help you develop your knowledge & skills base so you can learn and and grow professionally
- Reflection: to help you reflect on your work and learn from mistakes
- Guidance: receive advice and feedback on professional best practice
- Clarification: help with ethical and professional decision-making
-
Confidence: help you gain confidence and proficiency

Blended Supervision
Clinical Supervision is about working safely and effectively with your clients, focusing on theory, relationship, dynamics and process.
Blended Supervision puts clinical work at the centre but adds in other elements which matter to you in your career – progression goals, different ways of practicing, thinking about your career and development areas of growth. With a blended approach you can split your supervision time talking about your client work but also focusing on areas where you would like to develop your practice.
Accreditation: Working with a supervisor who is experienced in the accreditation process can transform it from a daunting ‘thing to be done’ into a collaborative, creative and engaging piece of CPD.
Private Practice: Working with a supervisor who specialises in private practice can help you navigate the early set up stages, work out the details of where/how/what you are offering and make the transition in a way which feels exciting but manageable.
Portfolio Working: When you work with a supervisor who encourages you to think about other ways to offer your clinical skills, big things can happen! Working with new client groups, specialising, learning new models, supervising, assessing or teaching, offering training; you could be supported to explore so many possibilities for growth within our profession.
Contract & Fees
Supervision is available nationally and internationally. All sessions happen online or via Whats App phone or video.
Clinical Supervision
Best practice guidance is for 1.5hrs of supervision per month. You may wish to have more than this is you have a heavy or complex caseload e.g. 1hr every 2 weeks. Fees are £65 per hour or £95 per 1.5hrs.
Blended Supervision:
If you are looking for support with your career goals and new ways of working, we would divide our time between the essential clinical supervision and then focusing on whichever other area you want to develop. Depending on your case load we may need to book additional sessions. If you have a heavy client case load we would probably book 1hr per fortnight to ensure clinical work is covered.
Fees are £65 for an hour, £95 for 1.5hrs, £130 per month with 1hr per fortnight.
