Reflective Supervision
For deep-feeling, deep-thinking social workers & practitioners
Did you become a social worker or therapist because you care deeply about people? Do you care beyond reducing symptoms or applying interventions, to truly understanding the person sitting in front of you: their story, their relationships, their strengths, the systems they navigate, and the ways they've adapted to survive?
Perhaps you're early in your career and discovering that real-life practice is far more nuanced than university prepared you for.
Maybe you're working in community services and finding yourself wrestling more with systemic barriers than with the client work itself.
Or perhaps you're beginning to question whether purely cognitive, top-down approaches are enough for the people you support.
You know there's more to good therapy than choosing the "right" intervention.
You want someone who has walked this path too, to ask curious questions and help you think it all through. Someone to hold relational space for you to be open and reflexive in your practice. And, to find your own answers that align with your values, your heart, and professional role.
That's what this supervision is about.
A space to think, reflect, and grow
I believe good supervision isn't about someone telling you what to do. It's a collaborative space to slow down, become curious, and develop confidence in your own professional knowledge and judgement.
Together we'll explore client presentations, as well as the therapeutic relationship, your self and the different parts of you that show up in the therapy room, the systems surrounding the work, and the practitioner you're becoming.
Because your greatest therapeutic resource will never be a particular worksheet or technique.
It's you.
As your confidence grows, so does your capacity to sit with complexity, uncertainty and the deeply human experiences your clients bring into the room.
Experienced & Explorative
With over 15 years’ experience across community services, Employee Assistance Programs and private practice, I bring a depth of experience supporting people through complex life experiences, trauma, mental health challenges, identity exploration and major transitions.
I understand the realities of working within systems that do not always align with our values, the complexity of holding risk and responsibility, and the emotional impact of supporting people through difficult experiences.
In supervision, I draw on this experience to offer a space where you can bring the real work, not just the successes, but the uncertainty, ethical dilemmas, and stuck points.
My role is not to provide all the answers, but to walk alongside you as you develop your own clinical judgement, confidence, and professional identity.
Together, we can explore the complexity of this work while staying connected to curiosity, compassion and the values that brought you into the profession.
Trauma-Informed & Neuroaffirming
Trauma-informed practice is about learning to see the person beneath the presentation, and recognising the ways experiences, relationships, systems and environments shape how people survive and adapt.
In supervision, we will explore how trauma shows up in the people you support, the therapeutic relationship, and within yourself as the practitioner.
Together, we may explore how to create greater safety and choice for clients, work with protective responses rather than against them, understand nervous system patterns, and remain curious about what sits beneath behaviours, symptoms and struggles.
We will also make space to consider the impact of trauma work on you, the practitioner. Supporting people through pain, complexity and vulnerability requires care, reflection and opportunities to reconnect with your own resources, values and capacity.
Integrative & Relational
Effective practice honours the complexity of human experience.
While cognitive approaches and clinical frameworks provide valuable tools for understanding thoughts, beliefs and meaning-making, many experiences, particularly trauma, attachment wounds and chronic stress, are also held through the body, emotions, relationships and nervous system.
In supervision, we will explore how to integrate both top-down and bottom-up approaches into your practice.
This may include developing a deeper understanding of nervous system responses, emotional regulation, somatic awareness, relational safety and the ways people adapt to survive difficult experiences.
Together, we will move beyond simply asking "What intervention should I use?" and explore deeper questions:
"What is this person communicating through their behaviour?"
"What might be happening beneath the surface?"
"How can I respond in a way that supports attunement. self-trust, and agency?"
Who reflective supervision is for
I work particularly well with practitioners who are reflective, curious and wanting to develop an integrative, non-pathologising way of practising.
You might be:
An early career social worker looking for support to find your professional identity
A therapist with a social work lens who values context, relationships, intersectionality, and social justice
Working with clients experiencing trauma, complex PTSD, attachment wounds, or emotional neglect
Supporting neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ folks (non-assessment focus)
Feeling that manualised or purely cognitive approaches don't always meet the complexity of your clients' experiences
Beginning to integrate trauma-informed, somatic, or relational ways of working into your practice
Exploring your professional identity and wanting to discover your own therapeutic style
Considering a move into private practice while remaining grounded in ethical, relational and reflective practice
Space to prioritise your wellbeing as a practitioner
Looking for supervision that feels collaborative rather than hierarchical
BOOK SUPERVISION
Counselling for trauma
When traditional talk therapy hasn’t felt like enough
I work with folks who are deeply insightful, self-aware, and have already done a lot of inner work. They’ve often tried traditional talk therapy, read the books, listened to the podcasts, and understand their patterns cognitively, but still feel stuck in the same emotional cycles.
This is often because trauma isn’t just held in our minds or thoughts. It also lives in the body, the nervous system, our relational patterns, and the deeper emotional learnings underneath our conscious awareness.
This is where relational, somatic, and experiential or “bottom-up” approaches to therapy can support healing at a deeper level.
Rather than only talking about your experiences, we might also explore:
nervous system responses
body sensations and tension patterns
emotional states and emotional learnings
protective parts of self
attachment dynamics
the places where your body learned to brace, disconnect, over-function, or stay small to survive.
What trauma therapy can support you with
If past experiences feel like they’re still shaping your present, trauma counselling can help you process, heal, and reclaim your sense of self:
Feel safer and more connected in your body and in your present-day life
Understand protective patterns and reduce shame
Build healthier boundaries and relationships
Move beyond survival mode and chronic overwhelm
Reconnect with your emotions, intuition, creativity, and aliveness
Develop greater self-trust and inner steadiness
Process grief, relational wounds, and past experiences at a pace that feels manageable
Experience more choice, presence, and connection in everyday life
If you’ve spent a long time holding things together on your own, therapy can become a space where you no longer have to carry everything in silence. You don’t need to have the right words. You don’t need to be “healed enough” to begin.
And you don’t need to force yourself to go faster than your system is ready for.
We start where you are.
A little about me
Hi, I’m Jasmin (she/her), & I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.
As a Mental Health Social Worker and Trauma Therapist, I take a holistic, inclusive approach to our work together, considering your individual needs as well as the bigger picture of your life - the relationships, environment, and social contexts that can impact our mental health.
At the heart of my work is the belief that healing happens through safe enough connection, with ourselves, with others, and with the body’s innate wisdom.
Therapy with me is collaborative and human. I’m not here to analyse you from a distance or position myself as the expert on your life. I’m here to walk alongside you with warmth, honesty, and care as we make sense of what your system has been holding.
I offer a non-judgemental space where you can show up just as you are. Together, we can make sense of what’s happening, and find pathways forward that work for you.
Neuroaffirming, LGBTQIA+ inclusive, & diversity-affirming care
I welcome people of all backgrounds, identities, and ways of experiencing the world and what it is to be human.
I work with neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ folks, and individuals exploring identity, sexuality, gender, relationship diversity, and belonging.
I acknowledge the broader social, cultural, and systemic experiences that shape mental health and trauma. Many responses we internalise make deep sense within the context of the environments we’ve had to navigate and the social narratives and systems we intersect with.
Trauma-informed counselling
The 5 Principles of Trauma-Informed Care
Safety: Prioritising a space where you can access some level of emotional and psychological safety before therapy begins, and where your experiences are respected, your pace is honoured, and your nervous system can begin to move out of fight/flight/freeze.
This might look like checking in about how you’re feeling in the room, pacing the session and content to your needs, or adjusting the environment to help you feel more comfortable.
Trustworthiness: Consistency and transparency are important pillars within therapy, so you know what to expect and can feel confident in the therapeutic relationship.
This might include clearly explaining confidentiality, session structure, and fees, and following through on what we agree together.
Choice: You are invited to make decisions about your therapy and mental health care, including what we talk about, how we work, and the direction we take together.
This might look like choosing where to sit, whether to keep shoes on or off, adjusting lighting, homework or no homework, or deciding if we pause, slow down, or change focus.
Collaboration: Therapy is a partnership. We work together to understand your experiences, draw on your strengths, and find approaches that feel meaningful and supportive for you.
This might include regularly checking in about what is or isn’t working, and shaping sessions together based on your feedback and your needs and preferences.
Empowerment: My role is to support you in reconnecting with your strengths, trusting your voice, and building confidence in your capacity to make decisions that feel right for you (having a stronger sense of agency).
This might look like identifying what matters to you, building self-trust and comfort with setting boundaries, and recognising the resilience that already exists within you.
