Finding Your Ground

Group Supervision for Early Career Therapists

School is behind you, registration is done, and you are doing the work you set out to do. For many therapists this moment brings real excitement — and real questions. Am I landing with my clients? How would I even know? What do I do when I genuinely don’t know what to do next? The natural questions and uncertainties that come with these early years often have to be sat with alone.

Most therapists in these early years share a few quiet preoccupations: Am I doing this right? Is everyone else more confident than me? And sometimes, after a hard week — did I choose the right path?

These aren’t signs that something is wrong. They’re the terrain.

We are humans sitting with other humans, with all the complexity that entails. Being human in this work is not a liability. It’s the foundation. We make space for the less talked-about parts — the impulse to fix when a client is struggling, the discomfort of not having answers, and learning to trust that presence itself is often enough. These things develop with time, with reflection, and with good company.
The skills you’ll have in ten or fifteen years will be different from what you have now. But effectiveness and mastery are not the same thing. Therapists at every stage of development help people in meaningful ways. What matters most right now is staying curious, staying supported, and staying in the game long enough to get there.

That’s what this group is for.

What Finding Your Ground is

A small, closed consultation group for registered therapists in the early years of private practice. Five or six clinicians meet monthly over ten months, with the same people each time, building the kind of trust that makes honest conversation possible.

This isn’t a group where you perform competence. It’s a space where, as trust builds, you share what feels right — and discover that what you thought you couldn’t say out loud is often exactly what others in the room have been quietly carrying too.

What we work on together

Each person comes with their own strengths, their own learning edges, their own natural way of being in the room. The group creates space to discover what’s already working in you, name what you most want to develop, and practice it deliberately — one specific, manageable thing at a time.

Over the arc of the year we explore what helps people change, how to stay oriented when a session feels lost, how to slow down and trust the process, and how to build a clinical identity that feels genuinely yours. We pay attention to the body — yours and your clients’ — as a source of information. And we take seriously the idea that your own ongoing journey of self-understanding is one of the most useful tools you bring to the room.

Who this is for

Registered therapists in the early years of private practice who want more than a place to discuss cases. Who are looking for company on the journey, honest support as they find their footing, and a place where nothing has to be left at the door.

What this is not

This is not a training program or a seminar. There are no prescribed techniques to learn and no right answers to arrive at. It is a supported space — small enough to feel safe, structured enough to be useful, and consistent enough that real development can happen

How I Work

I’ve been receiving supervision since 2010 and providing it to other therapists since 2016. What has shaped me most isn’t any particular model — it’s the experience of having a space where I felt held enough to figure out my own way. That’s what I want to create for you, alongside a small group of colleagues who are navigating the same terrain.

Getting started

Before joining the group, we have a brief conversation to make sure it’s a good fit — for you and for the group. Members also have the option of booking individual 30-minute check-ins between group sessions when something specific comes up.
