A Specialised Space for Therapists Supporting Young Minds

​

Working with children and adolescents brings unique rewards and very specific challenges. As a therapist in this field, you are often holding complex developmental, relational, and systemic dynamics, all while navigating school systems, family involvement, and safeguarding considerations. You deserve a supervisory space that recognises and supports the depth of this work.

​

Gina offers clinical supervision tailored specifically for therapists working with children, teenagers, and families. Her approach is rooted in developmental understanding, creativity, and emotional attunement, providing a reflective space where you can safely explore the intricacies of your work.

 

​

Therapists working with young people often:

• Hold the emotional weight of multi-layered systems (school, family, peers)

• Encounter developmental challenges, resistance, or complex trauma

• Need space to process strong emotional reactions such as helplessness, over-identification or fear of “getting it wrong”

• Juggle safeguarding responsibilities while maintaining trust with young clients

• Work creatively and non-verbally, needing supervision that honours this

• Require support in navigating relationships with parents or carers

​

Gina brings not only professional expertise in adolescent psychotherapy, but also lived experience as a workshop coordinator in schools and former frontline social worker. She understands the emotional landscape of this work and offers a grounded, compassionate presence for therapists navigating it.

What to Expect from Supervision

​

• Developmentally Informed Practice
  Explore how developmental stages and attachment patterns inform your work with young clients.

• Relational Reflection
  Examine how your therapeutic relationships with children and adolescents are shaped by transference, countertransference, and wider systemic influences.

• Creative Processing
  Supervision sessions may include creative interventions such as sandspace reflection, drawing, imagery, metaphor or movement mirroring the therapeutic language often used with younger clients.

• Support with Families
  Discuss strategies and ethical considerations when working with parents, carers, or multi-agency teams.

• A Safe Place for You
  Working with young people can be intense. This is a space for you to be held, to process, to make sense of the work, and to reconnect with why you do it.
