Supervision
Specialist supervision:
​
Specialist clinical supervision for practitioners who are working with individuals who have been subjected to sexual trauma, violence & abuse.
​
Supervision offers safe supportive spaces for newly qualified & experienced practitioners to reflect on their practice to learn, develop, enhance knowledge, increase confidence, care for their own wellbeing & support individual development.
​
Supervision is considered an ethical & professional expectation to support effective practice, alongside being an ethical framework requirement under regulatory bodies such as BACP & UKCP if you are a registered member.
​
Connected, comfortable & convenient:
Online supervision sessions (via a video conferencing platform) & telephone sessions take place from the comfort of your own home, allowing you a reflective space that is comfortable, familiar & convenient. This offers you enhanced convenience to work around your role, practice & commitments.
In accordance with ethical frameworks, we recommend supervision once a month (at least).
You are also able to request when you would like your supervision session through our online booking system.

Supervision sessions take place with Kay, our qualified clinical supervisor…
​
Meet Kay:
​
I’m Kay (female) & I am a qualified clinical supervisor specializing in working with supervisee’s who’s clients have been subjected to sexual trauma, violence & abuse.
I offer a safe, trusting space where we can work together to explore your clients using different modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Trauma Informed, Humanistic & person-centred. Whether you are just beginning your journey as a counsellor or whether you are more experienced, we work together so you get the best from your sessions.
​
The foundation of my supervision sessions use the three step method which I feel gives, structure, reflection & achievement to each session. As supervisee, you can then build on this foundation to ensure the sessions meet your needs & style of supervision. You may feel that working creatively works & we can use imaginary, therapy cards & drawing… or you may feel that having more structure works better so we will adapt sessions accordingly.
​
There will be sessions where I offer more support & times when I may challenge you to help with your professional development, which can be discussed with you to understand how you would like to be supported & challenged so you get the most out of your supervision sessions.
As part of our supervision sessions, I encourage you to use the Space journal which you can use alongside our sessions, after client sessions or in moments of reflection; this supports sessions & also offers a good reference point to refer back to & read/reflect on. It is your journal to be as creative as you wish… draw, colour, words, collage… whatever supports you best.

the Space journal
​​
Space is a journal designed to offer a supportive & reflective space to reflect, capture thoughts/experiences & engage in critical thinking activities to support you in your role, look after your own wellbeing, support you with vicarious trauma & promote self-development. This journal has specifically been designed for practitioners who are working in the field of ending violence against women & girls & supporting women & girls subjected to sexual trauma, violence & abuse in the statutory, private or voluntary sector.
Due to the nature of supporting women with sexual trauma, working in this field can bring distress, overwhelm, burn out & vicarious trauma. The subsequent need for support, reflection, self-care & space is crucial for practitioners.
​
Pages within Space contain reflective activities, questions, critical thinking exercises, space for you to capture notes/thoughts/experiences, creative tasks & pages tailored to accompany your supervision sessions.
​
Explore how you’re feeling, how cases/clients are progressing, how to look after yourself, how to overcome any difficulties/challenges & how to reflect to learn more about yourself, your practice & your values.
​
Write. Doodle. Note. Scribble. Use these pages whenever & in whatever way works best for you.
This is your Space.
When you book in your first supervision session with GINA, you will receive a complimentary professionally printed copy of our accompanying supervision journal: Space. This resource pairs perfectly with your supervision sessions & allows you to capture, reflect on & work with alongside supervision sessions.
