Supervisor

Supervision details

In my clinical role in a large multi disciplinary child and adolescent mental health service,  I set up and participated in many specialised services, including for children who had suffered abuse and for foster children. I also developed  specialised training for foster carers working with severely disturbed children, and in conjunction with several social service teams, ran supervision services for groups of foster carers. I also continuously led an open supervision group for all members of the multidisciplinary team to present their work on clinical cases with children, adolescents and adults in a wide range of treatment categories.
