Clinical supervision is an essential component of my clinical practice and I believe should be an essential component of all practicing health care clinicians.

Supervision helps me to show up in my work as my most compassionate, resourced and skilled self as a psychotherapist. It helps to keep my passion for this work not just alight but burning bright. It gives me the space, fuel and tools that I need to be the best practitioner that I can. Without supervision I’m not sure if I would still be as effective as I am today as I practitioner. Without regular effective supervision, I’m not sure if I would still be working in this field at all.

Supervision has been a life line for me when I needed it and so since having the amazing opportunity to become a supervisor myself I am passionate about helping other counsellors and psychotherapists on their ever evolving professional journeys.

Currently in Ireland CORU is in the midst of creating the criteria for counsellors and psychotherapists and are outlining the necessities for regulation. At the moment it is stating that supervision will no longer be necessary in order to practice but instead it will be a personal choice of the clinician if they want to engage in their own private supervision. This is at odds with many current training and governing bodies criteria as most outline it as being necessary for ethical and professional practice.

I find it saddening that supervision may become not as prominent or used in the field in years to come but I hope that even if it isn’t included as essential under CORU guidelines that counsellors and psychotherapists will still understand its necessity for their own and their clients well-being.

I am delighted to share that I am currently taking on new supervisees at this time. Get in contact today for more information or to book an appointment ✨

I was delighted to be able to contribute to this piece in the Irish Times. It is a wonderful piece that talks about the benefits of writing for our health
