We offer individual & group supervision for mental health practitioners, particular those in the early- and mid-career phase of their journeys.
Our philosophy of supervision
Psychotherapy is a relational act and so is supervision. Who we are in the room shapes how the therapeutic relationship develops and what it opens or closes. We draw attention to what we bring to the relationship, what gets moved in us as we engage with each patient, what our own blocks and desires are. For us, this development of our own personhood is the most valuable clinical instrument.
Further, in its structure, psychotherapy often feels isolating. While no one is present to the relationship more than you and your patient together, it’s helpful to have one or more supportive perspectives along with our own as a way of not feeling alone in our work and minds.
Individual distress rarely exists in itself. It is shaped by family, institution, community and the broader social world we're all embedded in. We necessarily work from a relational-intersubjective stance, while holding systemic and social-justice frameworks alongside it.

Individual supervision
These are one to one sessions with your supervisor, held regularly over time. We discuss your cases and the dilemmas you hold with them. We consistently bring attention to how you’re thinking and feeling about them, and about you in relation to them.
We work with therapists seeing individual adults, teenagers and young adults, and couples.
It can often tread on personal grounds, though this is not personal therapy.
-
Group supervision
It’s very hard to share our therapeutic process with others. Here, our endeavor is to offer supervisor-led groups that create the safety needed to explore our selves and our work in relationship to others, while learning from one another.
We carefully curate the group to match goals, experience and orientation. Sessions are grounded in case discussions, thematic threads that emerge across your practices, and attention to the self of the therapist in a relational setting.
You're welcome to bring in readings that feel relevant, though this isn't a reading group.

Case consultation
We invite mid- to senior-level therapists seeking a perspective on specific clinical concerns or cases. Case consultations are one-off or short-term. You don't need to be in ongoing supervision with us.
Some specific areas we offer consultation in - childhood sexual abuse and grooming, information around POCSO, couples therapy and grief and bereavement.
You can also get in touch to discuss any case where you would like support in exploring the intersubjective dynamics in the therapeutic relationship including transference, countertransference, and the relational textures that can be the hardest to think about alone.
Confidentiality policy in supervision
Confidentiality works the same way in supervision as it does in therapy. With respect to you, the supervisee, everything you share it kept confidential in perpetuity. Also with respect to your patients, you are encouraged to use pseudonyms so we also continue to protect and respect their confidentiality.
A note on supervision fees
Our supervision fee is equal to what you charge your own clients. If you work with a fee range, we go by your highest rate.
