"Supervision is the formal arrangement that enables an SLT or assistant practitioner to discuss their work regularly with someone who is experienced and qualified. It's an essential component of a good quality speech and language therapy service that is able to respond to service users, identify and manage risk."

RCSLT 2017

​

My Approach:

I provide a safe and confidential space for you to reflect on your clinical practice. You may wish to talk through a specific case or issue, ideas for service development or recent research/training and its application to your practice.

 

Self-reflection is at the heart of developing clinical expertise. My skills as a supervisor do not lie in providing all the answers but in asking the questions that will facilitate your own problem-solving.

 

I provide one to one, paired or group supervision. We can meet in person or we can use Zoom to meet online.

​

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

​

I ensure that I receive regular supervision myself in relation to clinical practice and supervision practice, which is in line with RCSLT and HCPC guidelines.

 

I also offer supervision for supervisors and am listed on the Intandem Supervisor Register.

Testimonial

"Thank you Rachel for providing me with supervision. You set up an incredibly safe and nurturing environment where I felt supported and listened to. I gained a huge amount of value in our 90 minute session and I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I look forward to our ongoing sessions and I would highly recommend your service to others. You have a great way of asking thought provoking questions and you clearly have a high level of knowledge and expertise in supervision (and in clinical work too!)"

Lauren, Independent SLT
