Rainforest landscape — clinical supervision for narrative therapy practitioners in Adelaide

For Practitioners

Clinical Supervision

Individual and group supervision for therapists, counsellors, and social workers. Narrative, restorative, and invitational approaches to reflective practice.

Our Approach

Supervision as Practice

We hold supervision as a genuine practice space — not an administrative requirement. Our approach to supervision draws on narrative, restorative, and invitational accountability frameworks.

We are particularly interested in working with practitioners who are engaged in ethically demanding work: family violence, accountability, family law, and complex trauma. These are spaces where practitioners need more than technical supervision — they need ethical companionship.

We take our responsibility to practitioners seriously, just as we take our responsibility to their clients. Reflective practice is not a luxury. It is the foundation of ethical work.

"For me, forgiveness and compassion are always linked: how do we hold people accountable for wrongdoing and yet at the same time remain in touch with their humanity enough to believe in their capacity to be transformed?"

— bell hooks

"The problem is not an 'obstacle'; it is the surpassing of the obstacle, a pro-jection."
