Supervision
Reflective supervision for relational and creative practitioners.
A thoughtful, supported and grounded space to reflect on clinical work, relationships, uncertainty and the emotional impact of practice.
Supervision can be a place to slow down, think together and remain connected to the work beneath routines, pressure and performance. I offer supervision for practitioners working closely with children, families, creativity, education and emotional care — in Berlin and online, in English. Through my considerable experience as a play therapist and child counsellor, as well as working with families and schools for over 15 years I aim to not only meet and explore the work you are doing, but also look for practical solutions to everyday problems.
Who supervision is for
- Play therapists
- Trainee therapists
- Child counsellors
- Educators and pastoral staff
- Creative practitioners and arts facilitators
- Support workers and relational professionals
- Practitioners working internationally or across cultures
Some supervisees come looking for clinical support, others for reflective depth, steadiness or help thinking through difficult dynamics in the work. Many are balancing emotionally demanding roles while trying to remain thoughtful and connected in their practice. I know how challenging this can be and bring all my experience and training in diverse roles to support you.
Supervision can help with
- Feeling stuck or uncertain in the work
- Emotional impact and burnout
- Boundaries and endings
- Attachment dynamics and relational patterns
- Working creatively without losing structure
- Complex parent relationships
- Shame, doubt and confidence in practice
- Reflective practice and professional development
- Maintaining presence in emotionally demanding work
- Integrating creativity, embodiment and clinical thinking
Good supervision is not only about solving problems. It is also about remaining able to think, feel and notice clearly within demanding work.
How supervision works
My approach to supervision is relational, reflective and collaborative and influenced by my training with the CTSD in London. Alongside practical thinking about the work itself, I pay close attention to process, emotional atmosphere, embodiment and the dynamics that emerge between practitioner, client and wider systems.

I aim to offer supervision that is thoughtful and containing without becoming rigid or overly procedural.
Background and experience
I work as a child counsellor and play therapist and have worked across schools, community settings, creative practice and therapeutic environments in both the UK and Europe. Alongside therapeutic work, my background includes theatre, clowning, music and embodied practice, which continue to inform how I think about relationship, creativity and emotional communication.

Questions supervisees often ask
- What is reflective supervision?
- Reflective supervision is a regular, confidential space to think about your work with a more experienced practitioner. It is not assessment or instruction — it is a place to slow down, notice what's happening in the relationships and dynamics of your practice, and stay thoughtful and resourced in emotionally demanding work.
- Who is supervision for?
- I work with play therapists, trainee therapists, child counsellors, educators and pastoral staff, creative practitioners and arts facilitators, and relational professionals working closely with children, families and emotional care.
- Do you work in English?
- Yes. All supervision sessions are in English. I work with many supervisees in Berlin and internationally.
- Can supervision happen online, or only in Berlin?
- Both. I offer supervision in person in Berlin and online for practitioners elsewhere in Germany and internationally.
- How often do supervisees meet with you?
- Most supervisees meet monthly or fortnightly, individually or in small groups. We agree a rhythm that fits your role, caseload and the demands of your work.
- How do I arrange an initial supervision conversation?
- Send a short note through the contact page describing your work and what you are hoping for in supervision. I'll reply to arrange an initial conversation so we can think together about whether the fit feels right.
An initial conversation
Finding the right supervisor matters. An initial conversation gives us space to think about your work, what you are looking for, and whether the supervision feels like the right fit.
