Supervision

I offer professional supervision for art therapists, students, and other mental health practitioners who are wanting a space to reflect on their work and feel supported in their practice.

Supervision can be a place to pause and think more deeply about what you’re holding — to debrief, explore challenges, and sit with the complexities of the work. It can also be a space for ideas, creativity, and renewed perspective, supporting you to stay resourced and connected in your practice over time.

I work with students, new graduates, and experienced practitioners, as well as other professionals who are using the arts therapeutically in their work.

My approach is integrative and responsive. I draw from a range of frameworks — from transpersonal through to more clinical models — and may include creative processes or reflective conversation, depending on what feels most useful and supportive for you.

I see supervision as a collaborative and reflective process, where insight can unfold over time. It is a space that supports both professional development and personal awareness, recognising that the two are often closely connected.

Individual and group supervision is available, both online and in person.
