Supervision

Making way to solutions unavailable through thought alone.

Do you need to get practical advice, to find a creative and realistic solution to a question relating to work, to recharge your batteries, or to refresh your outlook on your practice? Supervision is the place where you have a chance to take a step back so that you can find solutions to complex problems and challenging situations.

I offers supervision and reflective practice opportunities to qualified counsellors, psychotherapists, arts therapists, nursing, management staff, artists and educators as well as to spiritual practitioners and staff from voluntary organisations and community interest companies.

Sessions follow a Creative and Embodied Supervision model embedded in psychodynamic principles.

A Creative approach considers action methods and the creative arts a vitalising part of to the reflective process, as these means of expression and reflection encourage us to use a different part of our brain, step away from our usual and familiar way of thinking so as to make way to solutions unavailable through thought alone.

Embodied supervision invites mindful attention to the body and movement which often offers surprisingly simple and powerful means to engage with a supervisory theme or questions. 

This work is inspired by key practitioners in the fields of mindfulness and movement practices (Reeve, amongst many), creative group work (Moreno), creative supervision (Chesner and Zografou) and Eco supervision (O’Driscoll).

Becca Parkinson, Dance Movement Psychotherapist

Supervision in the woodlands with Celine was a transformative experience that significantly supported my exploration of the various threads of my work.  The hands-on engagement with nature allowed me to creatively map out and explore my questions, fostering a deep, embodied connection to the issues at hand. Answers emerged intuitively—something that simply sitting down and talking couldn’t have achieved. Céline’s supportive presence and intuitive intelligence helped me to move beyond what felt stuck, leaving me feeling clearer and more grounded. I loved working in the woodlands; being in such an alive environment, I felt like the trees and earth grounded the explorations.

The session provided an opportunity to step back from my usual patterns of thinking, opening up new perspectives on the challenges I was facing. Céline’s supervision was an enriching experience that left me with a clearer sense of direction and a renewed approach to my practice.

I have been working with Céline in supervision for a number of years now, and I find our relationship to be absolutely invaluable. Céline is a generous, thoughtful and experienced clinician and I feel well supported and cared for by her. She is capable of providing constructive challenge and feedback and as such I have grown a great deal as a clinician through her input. Although we work entirely online, Céline is always looking for ways to bring creativity into our supervision and has found ways that overcome the barriers of being online to make it feel rich and interesting. I have also found Céline to be welcoming of feedback, the more difficult or ‘sticky’ topics of supervision and of discussing our supervisory relationship and is also happy to say when she feels that something is outside of her area of expertise. She is both deeply empathic, and has a lightness of touch that means we can laugh together, too.  I feel as though both myself and my clients are in very safe hands.

Emily Sugarman, Gestalt Psychotherapist / Supervisor

I have been seeing Céline for supervision of my supervisory work for six months now, originally drawn to her for what I perceived to be her intuition, openness to creativity and enthusiasm about the work. I find Céline easy to be myself with, and grateful for her insights and perceptiveness, both of which have significantly informed my work as supervisor. I would not hesitate to recommend Céline as a supervisor.

Olivia Kerr, Dance Movement Psychotherapist, UK

Céline embodies all that she does; she is grounded, professional, and honest while also being encouraging and curious. The use of creative tools in the supervision space, be it movement, art making or use of objects, enables me to move past my chattering mind and not only find new perspectives and answers but also develop a deeper sense of trust in myself. This work feels as effective for me online as in-person and I am grateful to be able to move between both spaces.
