INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP CLINICAL SUPERVISION
Judith provides clinical supervision to individual clinicians and practitioners from differing disciplines, and group supervision to multidisciplinary mental health teams. She brings her clinical experience as an individual, couple and family therapist working with children, young people and adults - in non-government relationship counselling agencies, and government tertiary level child and adolescent mental health specialising in trauma, neglect and attachment disruption. As a systemic couple and family therapist, Judith prioritises a relational perspective, including focus on relationships within and between members of the family system, the wider systems, and the therapist. Supervision may also be informed by her international credentials as a supervisor in Open Dialogue and dialogical practice.
Supervision is available for:
Individuals: Fortnightly or monthly supervision in person or by Skype
Teams: External group supervision for teams of clinicians or practitioners
Peer Groups: 2 hours monthly group supervision for 3-4 practitioners (evening)
FORMS OF CLINICAL SUPERVISION
Supervision takes various forms according to the needs of the individual or group, including:
SYSTEMIC SUPERVISION
A method of supervision which is focused on systemic theory and practice, including systemic conceptualisation and development of systemic skills.
Reflective Supervision
A method of supervision which enables a reflective space, within which to reflect on the therapeutic work and the self of the clinician or practitioner.
DIALOGICAL SUPERVISION GROUPS (TEAMS OR PEERS)
A method of supervision which focuses on the clinician or practitioner self in the therapeutic work, involving a group reflective process. Sessions may include video or audio material of therapeutic work, but this is not a requirement for this form of supervision.
DIALOGICAL & SYSTEMIC SUPERVISION
A method of supervision for clinicians and practitioners as informed by both dialogical and systemic theory and practice of family therapy, as devised by Judith based upon her PhD methodology.
SUPERVISION WITH THERAPIST AND FAMILY
A method of supervision in which both therapist(s) or practitioner and client(s) engage together in a structured reflective conversation on the therapeutic work.
SANDPLAY SUPERVISION
A method of supervision which involves non-verbal processing followed by verbal exploration of the therapeutic work, particularly useful when clinicians or practitioner are stuck or wondering about how to go on in the therapeutic work.
“‘The importance of the spoken word, I think, is grounded in the fact that it does not want to remain with the speaker. It reaches out towards a hearer, it lays hold of him, it even makes the hearer into a speaker, if perhaps only a soundless one ... We tend, to be sure, to forget that something can happen not merely ‘to us’ and ‘in’ us, but also in reality ‘between’ us’.”
