Clinical Supervision of Play and Creative Arts Therapists

Sharing years of experience and knowledge

Clinical Supervision is an essential requirement for trainee and qualified play and creative art therapists.   As a supervisor I offer a safe welcoming space where a trusting relationship can develop that will allow open and honest conversations to take place that will encourage curiosity, exploration, and reflection.

I see it as a dynamic relationship where good and effective practice can be shared to support the professional development of therapeutic practitioners.  I offer creative activities which allow opportunities to be more curious about the client’s process and peel back the layers to reveal a deeper awareness for the supervisee in their client work.

I am able to offer:

  • 1:1 supervision sessions to support a supervisees professional development
  • Group supervision sessions where therapists can feel a sense of connection to other therapists, share their practice and work together to enhance their knowledge.
  • Workshops for professional teams of practitioners to consider different themes for example – safety, attachment, self- confidence, inclusion, anxiety. My approach is to offer a creative experience to open up possibilities and inspire practitioners to consider themselves and their practice.

Supervisees have said about individual supervision:

Lesley always provides a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space. Lesley has supported me to explore, reflect and develop my practice and relationship with my clients, while developing my own professional identity and interests.

Thank you Lesley as ever for your ongoing support and expertise!

Really useful and there is always a range of talking things through and creative activities during the sessions.

‘It is really helpful to speak and share with others who are going through similar experiences to you and you can learn from others and take on what works for them. It was a great supervision and it was nice to be able to share with others and do activities all together.’

The activities were ideal for me as I prefer to work independently, but I still felt challenged as they were creative activities that I sometimes struggle with. We had the opportunity to discuss out work after each activity, and I felt safe and confident in doing this. I think the small group size helped me to feel comfortable when sharing.
