The Supervisor

Gina Dermody

Gina Dermody

Clinical Director BSocSc, MSw, MSc, HDip Psychotherapy, HDip Clinical Supervsion, HDip Child & Adolescent Supervsion, EMDR European Practitioner MIACP

Gina brings a warm, grounded, and insightful presence to her work as a supervisor. With over 27 years experience in frontline social work and an extensive clinical background in psychotherapy, she offers a supervision space that is reflective, supportive, creative  and gently challenging.

Gina is trained in two distinct areas of supervision:

  • Clinical Supervision with the Dublin Counselling and Therapy Centre

  • Child, Adolescent, and Adult Supervision with the Terapia Centre in London

 

These trainings, combined with her breadth of professional experience, allow her to support supervisees across many therapeutic modalities and client groups from students to experienced therapists, and from allied health professionals to those specialising in child and adolescent work.

Supervision Style

Gina’s approach is relational and creative. She holds space for reflection with curiosity and compassion, offering a calm and non-judgemental environment where supervisees can think deeply about their practice, ethical dilemmas, personal responses, and professional development.

She believes supervision should be a collaborative process—one that honours the whole person and recognises the emotional, intellectual, and practical aspects of therapeutic work. Having a sense of safety, clarity, and insight is at the heart of her sessions.

Gina’s background includes:

  • Social work across hospital and community settings

  • Specialist training in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy

  • Clinical expertise in Trauma, Bereavement, and Family Systems

  • Additional training in EMDR, Play Therapy, Bereavement, Family Therapy and meditation. 

This rich foundation enables her to offer meaningful supervision to those working in complex areas, including high-risk cases, trauma, family dynamics, and multidisciplinary settings
