Clinical Supervision Inverness and the Highlands

Clinical supervision

Clinical supervision for counsellors, psychotherapists and students.

Our supervision training incorporates face-to-face, online and telephone working. This specialist training focuses on the practical and ethical aspects of supervision, including reflective practice, professional development, safeguarding, risk management, and the unique considerations involved in providing supervision remotely.

Alongside supporting general counselling and psychotherapy practice, we are qualified to provide supervision for practitioners working with children and young people, as well as those integrating EMDR and hypnotherapy into their clinical work. Supervision is tailored to the individual practitioner, their client group, and their professional requirements.

Clinical supervision provides a supportive and reflective space for practitioners to explore their client work, develop their professional practice, and maintain high standards of ethical and effective care.

At Oakwood Mind & Body, our highly experienced practitioners offer supervision for counsellors, psychotherapists, wellbeing practitioners, and other helping students. Our approach combines professional accountability with encouragement, reflection, and personal growth, creating a collaborative supervisory relationship tailored to your individual needs and stage of practice.
