What is Clinical Supervision with Therawake?

All qualified,  accredited and trainee therapists must meet the ethical requirements of attending regular individual or group Clinical Supervision.

The Creative Clinical Supervision ethos is to:

  • enable the therapist to bring the client to the supervisory space by use of embodiment, projective techniques, narrative and non – verbal communication
  • explore the exchanges in between the client and therapist by processing the psychodynamic nuances
  • assess the therapists’ wellbeing and self – care in managing their practice
  • identify safeguarding and wellbeing issues as they arise and advise accordingly
  • refer to theoretical context as part of Continued Professional Development
  • celebrate good practice in the Supervision space from the therapists’ intervention
  • provide business guidance to those in Private Practice to ensure they are practicing as a regulated business entity

Therapists are expected to arrive prepared for Clinical Supervision with an Agenda list of areas to explore within the single or double session.

Therapists are expected to enhance and develop their practice by attending regular training events, conferences and other forms of Continued Professional Development. Therapists will be made aware of courses and events available to them in the clinical supervision space.

The process of rebuilding involves clearing the ground, securing foundations, and then building one brick at a time…this is reflective of my Clinical Supervision with Judy. Over the last few months, Judy has facilitated an open space, and reminded me of my deep foundations as a therapist and individual. Through our sessions, she is also challenging and encouraging me to rebuild my confidence in who I am, and in my clinical practice.

Building takes time…sometimes there is clear progress, at other times another “rock” is uncovered, and at all times, patience and hope for growth is needed. I value Judy’s integrity and commitment to the process.

I have nothing but good things to say about Judy, she is the best supervisor I’ve had (I’ve had bad experiences). From the first session we had, she made me feel comfortable and heard especially when bringing up feelings of stuckness in my therapeutic work. She is very kind, understanding and non-judgemental. Judy is flexible in her approaches to any issues I bring up regarding my clients, she emphasises the importance of taking care of myself as a therapist.

I overall really appreciate and enjoy our supervision sessions, they have helped me to grow as a therapist and reflect accordingly. I can’t recommend her highly enough!
