Trauma Informed
Clinical Supervision

Supervision

Trauma Informed Clinical Supervision is an essential element of effective Trauma Informed Practice.
Here at TICS we provide Trauma Informed Clinical Supervision to a range of sectors including
Education, Health, Adult and Children’s Social Care and Therapeutic Services.

Our model is one of exploration and reflections on trauma symptomology with professionals, focused on personal and professional development and wellbeing through a trauma informed lens. We work to address the risks associated with vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue and burnout for those working frontline with some of the most traumatised individuals and within traumatised systems.

Through this psycho-educative model we aim to re-resource and refresh professionals in order for them to
continue to provide the best of their professional selves in their very demanding roles.

For those working in child and adult protection services occupational trauma is an occupational
inevitability (Oates, 2022). In order to keep our people and our systems running smoothly, it is vital
that we provide the space for conversations and reflection.

Trauma Informed Clinical Supervision is
far more than the typical supervision you may be used to. Trauma Informed Clinical Supervision is
about you, your own experiences of situations and your very personal needs when it comes to
creative solutions.

At TICS we have a range of qualified and highly experienced Clinical Supervisors who can work with
you, individually or in groups, focusing on both your own wellbeing and professional development.
Providing staff with Trauma Informed Clinical Supervision improves staff recruitment and retention,
reduces staff sickness and ensures safe, effective and ethical delivery of services. (Knight 2018,
Courtois 2018).

Recommendation

The supervision that Amelia has offered has been hugely beneficial in supporting not only my own mental and emotional wellbeing, but also in discussing and reflecting on key issues that arise as part of my job role. Amelia provides a relaxed, comfortable environment where key issues, incidents and concerns are addressed and reflected upon through the insightful and thought-provoking discussions that Amelia facilitates. The supervision sessions have certainly had a positive impact on whole school strategies, as well as my emotional wellbeing in terms of having ongoing opportunities to reflect in depth about all aspects of my job role.
