Who will care for the carers?
I specialise in offering one-to-one and group clinical supervision for those working in caring professions — specifically domestic and sexual abuse, sexual violence, and trauma. I take an integrative approach, drawing on elements from various models to ensure a bespoke and flexible experience based on your needs and experience.
The three functions of clinical supervision
Formative — Learning
Developing your skills, knowledge and understanding through reflective practice
Normative — Accountability
Supporting safe, ethical and effective professional practice
Restorative — Support
Holding the emotional and well-being needs of the practitioner, with a focus on vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, burnout and moral injury (and importantly, joy, hope and compassion satisfaction)
What we cover:
Sessions can include anything that affects practice:
• Case reviews including risk and safe practice
• Relationships with clients
• Boundaries and ethics
• Vicarious trauma and burnout
• Professional development
• Relationships with colleagues
• Challenges within the wider sector
• Personal issues affecting work
What to expect:
Sessions usually take place every 4–8 weeks, for one hour (sometimes longer for group sessions), via Zoom or Teams, with some face-to-face options available.
Full confidentiality is maintained in line with professional standards. I am registered with the ICO (ZB307963) and insured by Westminster Insurance.
