Supervision,ReflectivePractice, and Mentorship
For those who hold space for others — and need somewhere to rest, grow, and be met themselves.
Why Supervision Matters
Good supervision doesn’t just protect practice. It sustains it.
It’s the quiet, reflective companion that allows us to stay close to the work without being consumed by it.
In supervision, there is space to pause and notice how the work moves through you — what it awakens, what it asks, and what it costs.
It’s where you can bring both your skill and your uncertainty, your thinking and your feeling, and have them met with respect and curiosity.
My Approach
Supervision at The Threshold Practice is relational, integrative, and creative.
It isn’t about proving competence or ticking ethical boxes (though those matter).
It’s about staying near the living process of therapy itself — how we meet, mirror, and are changed by the people we work with.
My work draws on traditional and contemporary models of supervision, including Inskipp & Proctor’s normative–formative–restorative framework, the Seven-Eyed Model (Hawkins & Shohet), and Carroll’s systemic and reflective perspectives.
These models offer a grounded ethical and developmental foundation — holding the normative, formative, and restorative dimensions of the work.
Within that foundation, the process remains alive, human, and creative.
I integrate these classical frameworks with my own REPT model — Relational, Emotional, Processing, Transitional — which maps movement and meaning in the therapeutic process.
Together, they help us locate where the work is alive, where it may be stuck, and what’s asking to evolve.
Supervision becomes not only a reflective space but also a mentoring space — a place to think about your clinical identity, your voice, your values, and the direction your practice is taking.
It’s a space to explore who you are becoming in the work, not just how you are doing it.
Creativity and the Living Process
I often use creative and reflective methods — dialogue, writing, metaphor, movement, or time outdoors — not as techniques, but as ways of returning depth and imagination to practice.
Supervision and mentorship should not flatten the work; they should re-enchant it.
Who I Work With
I offer supervision, reflective practice, and mentorship for:
Counsellors and psychotherapists (trainees, pre-accredited, and accredited)
Supervisors seeking peer or meta-supervision
Allied professionals: youth work, social care, education, and community practice
Practitioners at a threshold — beginning, expanding, or reimagining their work
I also work with therapists and practitioners exploring shame, identity, masculinity, or the deeper human dimensions of clinical work — areas that often shape both our practice and our personal growth.
Format and Setting
Supervision, reflective practice, and mentorship are available online or in person in Dublin, including eco-supervision sessions outdoors.
Working in nature can help open perspective, release tension, and remind us that our work is part of a wider living system.
Sessions can be individual or in small, closed groups, depending on your needs.
Some people attend monthly; others work more intensively for a period of renewal, integration, or transition.
If You’re Considering Beginning
Reaching out for supervision or mentorship can feel like another threshold — a professional and personal act of reflection.
If you’re considering working together, we can start with an introductory conversation.
We’ll talk about what you need, how you currently hold your work, and whether this space feels like a good fit.

In Essence
Supervision at The Threshold Practice integrates the rigour of traditional models with the movement and creativity of REPT.
It’s not about managing the work.
It’s about staying alive to it.
The work is relational and real, and it’s held.
