A Soft Landing
Supervision that honours both the clinician and the human.
Clinical supervision at True Care is grounded in warmth, steadiness, and a deep respect for the emotional labour of this work.
You don’t have to perform competence here.
You don’t have to hide your uncertainty, exhaustion, or self‑doubt.
This is a space where your nervous system can settle, your clinical mind can expand, and your inner world can be met with compassion.
How I Support Clinicians
Supervision rooted in trauma science, systems thinking, and Buddhist compassion.
My supervision integrates:
• Informed developmental and relational frameworks
• Somatic and nervous‑system‑based understanding
• IFS‑informed perspectives on parts, protectors, and countertransference
• EMDR‑informed case conceptualization
• Ethical clarity and CRPO‑aligned guidance
• Buddhist‑infused presence, compassion, and non‑judgment
Supervision is collaborative, reflective, and grounded in the belief that clinicians thrive when they feel safe, supported, and deeply understood.
Who I Supervise
I support clinicians who are:
• registered psychotherapists (qualifying or independent)
• social workers and mental‑health clinicians
• early‑career therapists seeking grounding and confidence
• seasoned clinicians wanting deeper trauma‑informed integration
• therapists navigating complex trauma cases
• clinicians seeking support with countertransference, burnout, or emotional overwhelm
• practitioners wanting to integrate somatic, attachment‑based, or compassion‑based work
If you’re looking for supervision that is both clinically rigorous and emotionally attuned, you’re in the right place.

Clinical Supervision
Trauma‑informed clinical supervision for psychotherapists and students seeking grounded, ethical, and attuned practice. Supervision focuses on developing the capacity to sit with clients in a way that is emotionally safe, regulated, and deeply human. Drawing on experience as a clinical supervisor at Saint Paul University, this space supports therapists in strengthening their presence, refining their judgment, and cultivating the relational skills that make therapy effective. Supervision emphasizes clarity, self‑awareness, and the ability to hold complexity with steadiness and compassion.
