Through my Registered Counselling Supervisor (RCS) designation with the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists of Canada (ACCT) I offer process-oriented and competency based supervision. Process-oriented supervision uses a counsellor’s awareness, their description of how they conceptualize their client’s issues, and their own personal experiences, to develop personal insights and enhance professional skills.

Clinical supervision supports the development of the worker to gain insight to counter-transferences and “use of self.” It also supports the professional development and education of the therapist, integrating the theory to clinical practice while supporting the identifying of the ‘blind spots’ within ourselves.

The role of clinical supervision is to provide clinical ‘oversight’ to ensure all aspects of the client’s welfare are monitored from a trauma informed perspective of ‘do no harm’ and that we are always working and practicing within the best interests of the client.
