Group Supervision

Finding Your Ground

Group Supervision for Early Career Therapists

School is behind you, registration is done, and you’re doing the work you set out to do. And yet there are still moments where you’re not sure what to do next, where a client says something that catches you off guard, or where you wonder if you’re actually helping. Not because you lack confidence — just because this work is genuinely complex, and nobody figures it out alone.

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 with it long enough to get there.

That’s what this group is for.

What Finding Your Ground is

A small, closed group for registered therapists — five or six clinicians meeting monthly, with the same people each time. Small enough to feel safe, structured enough to be useful, and consistent enough that real development can happen.

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 silently carrying too.

Who this is for

Registered therapists who want more than a place to discuss cases. Early career for this group means you’re registered, you’re seeing clients, and you’re still in the phase of building your clinical identity and finding your footing — whether that’s year one or year six. If you’re looking for company on the journey, honest support, and a place where nothing has to be left at the door — this is for you.

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 course of the semester we explore:
What helps people change — and how to trust the process when you can’t see it yet.
How to stay oriented when a session feels lost — without reaching for a technique to rescue you.
How to build a clinical identity that feels genuinely yours — not borrowed from a training manual.

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.

How I Work

I’ve been receiving supervision since 2010 and providing it to other therapists since 2016. Early in my career I spent two years as an associate in an established practice, built my own practice alongside that, and worked for six years as an intake and crisis counsellor for an EAP — sitting with an enormous range of presenting issues, often under pressure. I had good supervision and generous mentors throughout. I was lucky — and I know that’s not everyone’s experience.

That support made a real difference — not because it gave me all the answers, but because it gave me enough safety to find my own way. The models I’ve trained in have been helpful in the same way — not as rules to follow, but as maps for making sense of the work. Enough of a framework to feel oriented, enough flexibility to keep finding my own footing within it.

That’s what I want to create for you, alongside a small group of colleagues who are navigating the same terrain.

Not sure which supervision format is right for you? Individual, dyadic, and group supervision each offer something different — and the best choice depends on where you are in your career and what you’re hoping to get from the experience.
