Contemplative Supervision
A space for therapists, counsellors, and practitioners to pause and return to presence. Contemplative Supervision invites reflection, awareness, and the gentle unfolding of insight. Rooted in mindfulness and relational depth, it offers a quiet place to reconnect with yourself, your clients, and the living process of your work.

What is Contemplative Supervision?
Contemplative supervision is an invitation into a shared space of reflection, awareness, and inquiry — a meeting between practitioners who are willing to pause, listen deeply, and attend to the unfolding process of their work and being.
​
Grounded in the principles of Universal Ideas and Buddhist Teachings, supervision becomes a mindfulness practice in itself — a living exploration of presence, ethics, and relational awareness. Rather than simply reviewing case material, we attend to what arises in and between us, recognising that each moment carries the potential for insight, renewal, and growth.
​
Supervision offers a space to deepen our understanding of self-in-relation, the client’s process, and the wider field in which we all exist. It invites us to see how we are shaped by our histories, cultures, and conditioning, and how these elements inform the therapeutic relationship. Through a contemplative lens, supervision becomes not only professional support but an act of mindful compassion and inter-beingness.
What I Bring to Supervision
My approach to supervision is relational, experiential, and rooted in presence. I see supervision as a co-created field where both supervisee and supervisor bring their humanity, curiosity, and vulnerability.
​
At the heart of this process lies presence — the ability to rest in awareness and allow what is here to be seen without judgment. From this stillness, insight naturally arises. The space we share becomes an opportunity to deepen our connection to the work, to our clients, and to ourselves.
​
Drawing on Universal Ideas, Buddhist Teachings, mindfulness, and trauma-informed awareness, I aim to offer a supportive environment that honours both the professional and the personal. Supervision can become a practice of returning — returning to awareness, to the body, to the ethical heart of our work, and to the simple truth of being human together.
Mindfulness in Supervision
Mindfulness forms the foundation of contemplative supervision. It invites us to meet each moment as it is — to notice what arises within the field of awareness and to rest in not-knowing.
​
Through mindfulness, supervision becomes less about doing and more about being with — attending to sensations, emotions, and relational dynamics as they unfold. This quality of awareness allows supervisees to see their work with greater clarity and compassion, to notice habitual patterns, and to cultivate trust in the unfolding process of therapy.
​
In this way, supervision becomes a practice of inter-being — recognising the inherent connection between self and other, therapist and client, supervisor and supervisee, and the broader web of life in which we are all embedded.
Who It’s For
Contemplative supervision is suitable for therapists, counsellors, and practitioners who wish to:
-
Integrate mindfulness and presence more deeply into their work
-
Explore the relational field with openness and curiosity
-
Receive support grounded in compassion, awareness, and embodied wisdom
-
Reflect on their practice within a safe, attuned, and ethically held space
-
Cultivate a deeper sense of trust in their intuition and inner knowing
Whether you are newly qualified or an experienced practitioner, supervision offers a place to reconnect — with your work, your purpose, and your own unfolding process.
A Space to Arrive
You don’t need to bring anything to supervision other than yourself — just as you are in this moment. Together, we begin by noticing what’s here: the subtle movements of the mind, the echoes of your work, the places that feel alive or uncertain.
​
From there, everything else will naturally unfold.
​
Supervision, at its heart, is a practice of arriving — of meeting what is, and allowing presence to guide the way forward.
An Invitation
If what you’ve read here resonates with you, I invite you to reach out. Supervision begins, as all meaningful encounters do, with a simple conversation. Together, we can explore what you need from this space and how our work might unfold.
Whether you are seeking grounding, renewal, or a deeper connection to presence in your practice, you are welcome to arrive just as you are — and we can begin from there.
