A place to think more deeply about the work.
Clinical supervision is space to slow down, get curious about what is happening in the room, and develop greater confidence in how you understand and respond to your clients.
Come with the cases you're thinking about, the moments you're unsure of, the questions you haven't figured out yet, and the clinician you're becoming.

S O M E T I M E S T H E Q U E S T I O N I S N ’ T S I M P L Y , “ W H A T D O I D O ? ”
“Am I understanding this client accurately?”
You have a sense of what's happening, but you're trying to make the pieces fit together clinically.
“Why is this case affecting me so much?”
Something about the work is staying with you, and you're curious about what belongs to the client, what belongs to you, and what may be happening between you.
“Was that the right intervention?”
You're replaying a moment from session and wondering whether you missed something, moved too quickly, or could have responded differently.
“What kind of therapist am I becoming?”
You're learning approaches and building skills, while also developing a way of practicing that feels thoughtful, ethical, and genuinely your own.

Case Conceptualization
Making sense of what you're seeing and developing a clearer clinical map for the work.
Therapeutic Relationship
Exploring alliance, rupture, transference, countertransference, boundaries, and what may be happening between you and the client.
Risk, Ethics & Professional Practice
Working through situations where clinical, ethical, relational, and regulatory considerations intersect.
Culture & Identity
Considering how culture, power, positionality, migration, family, and identity may enter the therapeutic relationship.
Treatment Planning
Thinking through where therapy might go next and why.
Therapist Development
Building confidence while developing your own therapeutic voice rather than simply learning to practise like someone else.
Complex & Trauma-Focused Work
Thinking carefully about pacing, stabilization, trauma processing, attachment, and complexity.
The Impact of the Work on You
Making room for uncertainty, emotional reactions, mistakes, self-doubt, difficult cases, and the realities of being a person doing this work.

Supervision should be a place where you can say, “I don't know,” “I think I got that wrong,” or “Something about this case is getting to me” without needing to prove that you belong in the profession.
We'll take the work seriously without expecting you to have everything figured out.
Curiosity before certainty. Reflection without judgement. Accountability without humiliation.
W H A T S U P E R V I S I O N W I T H G E L I C A I S L I K E
Curious
We won't rush toward an intervention before understanding what may be happening underneath it.
Engaged
I'll offer observations, ask questions, share clinical reasoning, and challenge you when another perspective may be useful.
Integrative
We'll think across modalities rather than forcing every client into one theoretical framework.
Grounded
We'll keep one foot in theory and the other in the realities of actually sitting across from another human being.
My supervision is informed by trauma-focused, attachment-based, relational, cognitive-behavioural, experiential, and somatic approaches, alongside my experience as both a psychotherapist and psychiatric nurse.
The goal is to help you become more intentional about the kind of therapist you are.

Supervision may be a good fit if you're...
An RP(Q) building your foundation
You're gaining experience and want support developing clinical judgment, confidence, and a clearer sense of how you practise.
Working with trauma or complex presentations
You want space to think carefully about pacing, formulation, relational dynamics, and the responsibility that comes with deeper clinical work.
A newer RP finding your therapeutic voice
You've finished training, but you're discovering that knowing the theory and sitting with real people are two very different things.
A nurse practising psychotherapy
You're navigating the overlap between nursing and psychotherapy and want supervision from someone who understands both professional worlds.

Q U E S T I O N S W O R T H A S K I N G
-
Yes, provided the supervision arrangement meets CRPO's current requirements for clinical supervision. We can discuss your registration status and supervision needs during the consultation to make sure the arrangement is appropriate.
-
Please do. Supervision should be a place where we can look honestly at the moments that didn't go as planned without shame or defensiveness. We'll get curious about what happened, what you might learn from it, and what you may want to do differently.
-
Absolutely. What happens inside us as therapists can offer important information about the work. We can explore countertransference, emotional reactions, uncertainty, activation, or cases that simply seem to stay with you.
-
Yes. We can consider how culture, race, migration, family, gender, power, positionality, and other aspects of identity may shape the therapeutic relationship, including our own assumptions and blind spots as clinicians.
-
That's a great time for supervision. You don't need to arrive committed to one modality. We can explore different ways of understanding your clients while you develop an approach that feels thoughtful, flexible, and increasingly your own.
-
That's okay. We can start with a client you've been thinking about, a moment that left you unsure, a pattern you're noticing in your work, or simply what has felt challenging lately. Part of supervision is learning what deserves our curiosity.
