If you're wondering if supervision has to be boring, judgemental, just another thing to get through, then you have the wrong supervisor. We often talk about good fit and chemistry, and that also has to be the case for supervision. If you have a supervisor you can't be honest with, then how can you make sure you are working safely and ethically? I am passionate about making sure anyone working with vulnerable people is a safe and ethical practitioner, but that doesn't come

Why Creativity Belongs in Clinical Supervision I had one of those supervision sessions recently that stayed with me long after it had finished. It began with a conversation about runes. Now, before anyone assumes I've abandoned reflective practice in favour of fortune telling, that's not what happened at all.

When people tell me about previous supervision experiences, I often hear the same themes. They felt judged. They felt like they had to have all the answers. They felt like supervision was an assessment rather than a conversation. They worried about asking the "wrong" question or admitting they were struggling. For neurodivergent counsellors and coaches, these experiences can be particularly challenging. Many of us have spent years masking, performing competence and trying to
