Creative Supervision

Creative, Embodied, Transpersonal Supervision for Counsellors and Therapists

Do you often feel like you're carrying your clients on your own, as if your supervisor was there, but cannot be disturbed? Are you too afraid of being judged, dismissed or patronised to show your vulnerability and humanity in supervision?

​​

I've had different supervisors, and felt all of those feelings in supervision. I also had fantastic supervisors who didn't clip my wings, encourage me to work following my intuition, and support my human failures with compassion.

​​​

With a range of experiences in supervision and in therapy, I created a supervision model that will best speak to those who wish to develop further their own working style; who are sensitive, creative, and spiritual; and who are open to personal growth. One of my first supervisors said: "You are the tool." I've never forgotten it. It is not what you do, but who you are.

​

Supervision Can Be Playful and Deep
​

In supervision, a mix of serious reflection and playful explorations of fairy tales, metaphors, and movement can create opportunities for growth and insights. It shows you that supervision can be fun and enlivening, while still maintaining the depth and seriousness required for ethical and effective practice.

​​​

This is how:

​​​

  • Embodiment: Our bodies hold so much wisdom. You can discover hidden meanings in your sensations, just by being asked about how your body feels as you talk about something, or in front of a person. I would also share how I feel, what experiences in my body feel important to what is being discussed.

​​​

  • Creativity: Imagine being an animal, or an object, and talk to your client as that animal or object. Imagine you and your client end up in a desert island, how would your relationship look like? Gain awareness about the relationship that both you and your client are creating in a safe, non-judgemental space.

​​​

  • The Transpersonal: You can learn ways of protecting yourself and avoid compassion fatigue with energy techniques; you can share your spiritual experiences while at work without being met with judgement; and speak about your dilemmas regarding a clients spiritual traumas, such as not wanting to be born.

​​​

  • Muscle Testing: If you are an energy psychotherapist, energy psychologist, or use tapping in your practice and are open to explore muscle testing as an aid for supervision, we can both use it, and gain insights.​

​​​

If you're ready to explore a more creative, embodied, and transpersonal approach to supervision, I invite you to contact me for a 15-20 minute free Zoom call.
