Clinical understanding
Making sense of a child’s experiences, relationships and development, including their family life and the circumstances around them. This can include attachment, trauma, neurodivergence, play and creative expression.
Individual Clinical Supervision
Space to reflect on your practice.
Clinical supervision for trainee and qualified practitioners working with children and young people.
Supervision offers you a space to explore your work through conversation, reflection and creative approaches. Together, we consider what is happening, notice patterns and explore the needs of both the child and the practitioner.
In supervision, we can take time to develop understanding and explore what is not yet clear, without rushing to find an answer. Uncertainty, discomfort and stuck points can be explored with curiosity and constructive challenge. The aim is to support thoughtful, reflective clinical practice and continuing development.
What the work can include
The practitioner in the work
Relational dynamics, emotional responses, confidence, boundaries, the impact of demanding clinical work, and continued growth and development.
Decisions and responsibility
Safeguarding, risk, confidentiality, ethical dilemmas, endings and working with families, schools and other professionals.
A working relationship
Together, we agree what you need from supervision and regularly review how it is working, with space to talk openly about our supervisory relationship.
