Professional Supervision
A reflective space to think, explore and grow
Supervision can be more than reviewing cases or making sure the right boxes have been ticked. At its best, it offers space to slow down, think about your work, explore uncertainty, and develop a way of practising that feels both effective and sustainable.
I provide reflective professional supervision for social workers and other helping professionals, with a particular interest in neuroaffirming practice, trauma-informed work and supporting practitioners to develop confidence in their own professional identity.
My approach to supervision
My supervision style is collaborative, curious and reflective rather than prescriptive.
We might explore:
Complex clinical work and case formulation
Neuroaffirming and trauma-informed practice
Working therapeutically with children, young people and families
Professional identity and developing your own way of practising
Boundaries, ethical dilemmas and decision-making
The impact of the work on you as a practitioner
Burnout, capacity and sustainable practice
Navigating workplace systems and expectations
Building confidence as an early-career practitioner
Private practice and professional development
I don't believe there is one "right" way to be a good practitioner. Supervision can provide space to understand your strengths, challenge assumptions, consider different perspectives and make thoughtful decisions about your work.
Neuroaffirming supervision
For neurodivergent practitioners, traditional supervision environments don't always make room for different ways of processing, communicating or working.
Supervision with me doesn't require you to perform professionalism in a particular way. We can work with the way you naturally think and process, including using structure, visual approaches, written reflection, thinking aloud or taking time to untangle something together.
I also welcome practitioners who are not themselves neurodivergent but want a reflective space to develop their understanding of neuroaffirming practice and strengthen their work with neurodivergent clients.
About me as a supervisor
I'm an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with extensive experience working therapeutically with children, young people and families, including complex trauma and neurodivergence.
My own practice draws from trauma-informed and neuroaffirming frameworks alongside approaches including EMDR, ACT, CBT and DBT-informed strategies.
As a neurodivergent practitioner myself, I'm also interested in how we create careers that are sustainable and aligned with who we are — rather than continually adapting ourselves to professional environments that may not have been designed with different ways of working in mind.
