Clinical Supervision and Mentorship in Child and Play Therapy

Supervision for clinicians seeking depth, specialization, and ethical practice.

I offer clinical supervision to early career professionals who want to develop specialized competence in working with children, adolescents, and families. My supervision practice is grounded in developmental theory, play therapy principles, and evidence-based practice, with a strong emphasis on ethical decision-making and clinical confidence.

Who I offer supervision to

I provide supervision to mental health professionals who are interested in deepening their work with children and families, including:

  • Provisional psychologists

  • Psychologists

  • Social workers

  • Certified Clinical Counsellors

Supervision is particularly well suited for clinicians who want to specialize in child therapy and/or pursue registration or certification in play therapy.

Areas of focus for supervision

My supervision practice supports clinicians in developing both technical competence and professional confidence when working with children and families. Supervision is collaborative and reflective, with attention to ethical practice, clinical decision-making, and sustainable professional growth.

  • Child and adolescent development

  • Play therapy theory and application

  • Case conceptualization for children and families

  • Working with trauma, anxiety, behavioural concerns, and family transitions

  • Parent involvement and caregiver collaboration

  • Ethical and professional decision-making

  • Integrating evidence-based approaches into real clinical work

My approach to supervision emphasizes thoughtful reflection, ethical clarity, and the development of a strong professional identity. This work is tailored to each supervisee’s training level, professional goals, and clinical context.

Qualifications and supervision credentials

  • Registered Play Therapist (RPT)
