Private Practice Supervision

If you are the container holding your clients, who is the container holding you?

What is supervision?

Supervision is a structured, dedicated space where you bring your client work. It provides support and an opportunity to reflect on the decisions you’ve made, your processes, the dynamics you’ve noticed, the moments that have challenged you and the direction things are heading in. It offers another perspective and somewhere to problem-solve, think out loud and work through the moments where you’re not quite sure what the right next step is.

It holds both the practical and the personal aspects: the work itself and how you are showing up within it. Good supervision keeps you grounded, clear and accountable, both to your clients and to yourself.

Why it matters – especially when you work alone

In clinical settings, supervision is built in. Hospitals, counselling services and therapy practices treat it as a professional requirement, not an optional extra. When you work independently, that structure disappears.

But the need for it doesn’t go away. In private practice, you carry your client work without a team around you. Supervision gives you back the space to set it down, look at it clearly and pick it up again with fresh perspective.

If anything, working alone makes supervision more important, not less.

A space designed for the way you actually work

Many traditional supervisors operate within clinical frameworks. If your work includes intuitive, energetic or somatic elements, you may have found that those spaces don’t quite fit – that there are things you cannot easily say, or aspects of your sessions that do not translate.

My supervision is built for practitioners working in holistic, spiritual and integrative ways. You can bring the full picture of your practice and know you will be understood.

I currently work with:

  • Spiritual counsellors
  • Somatic practitioners
  • Psychics and mediums
  • Energy healers
  • Animal communicators and healers
  • Spirit release and space clearing practitioners
  • Integrative and holistic practitioners

How it works

Sessions are typically an hour long and held monthly, though the shape of supervision is adapted to suit each practitioner. Everything takes place via Zoom and fees start from £70 per hour.

About me

I’ve been supervising practitioners since 2019 and hold Level 2 APT Accreditation in Providing Good Clinical Supervision. I’m also a practising Spiritual Counsellor, and my wider practice spans spirit release and complex energy work, healing and intuitive practice, alongside many years of teaching psychic and spiritual development.

My training in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy and other trauma-informed approaches brings another dimension to my supervision, particularly when client work involves trauma, the body or nervous system.

This breadth of experience means I understand many of the situations that can arise when you work outside conventional clinical frameworks, including the professional, ethical and practical questions that can come with this kind of work.

And yes, I also make sure I have regular supervision too.

Get in touch

If you work independently and would like somewhere to reflect on your practice, I’d love to hear from you. We can have an initial conversation to see if we’re a good fit for each other.

  • Kanina has been my supervisor in relation to my work as a Spiritual Counsellor since 2021. Her Supervision goes far beyond my work as a counsellor, it provides a truly safe space to work through all forms of issues whether connected to my counselling clients, my treatment clients or even at times my own personal journey and how it may affect my work.
    I believe self-care and support are equally important for the counsellors and those holding a professional position where they support others through difficult, often traumatic or abusive times. Ensuring I attend regular supervision sessions allows me to support my clients in a more professional and balanced way. I also get to learn from Kanina's many more years' experience in this field and gain a different perspective which at times is essential.
    My supervision sessions with Kanina are of equal benefit to me and my clients and I would never practice without them.

    Spiritual Counsellor & Reiki Practitioner

  • Kanina has been my supervisor for the last 7 years and she has supported me with my spiritual counselling, energy healing, land and space clearing and spirit release clients throughout that time.
    I find the supervision sessions invaluable, from exploring challenging relational dynamics with clients to helping me to see what I have missed in an energetic clearing.  I get to see how I show up as a practitioner, where my blind spots are and areas for further training and improvement.  And sometimes I don't know what I need to talk about, but it all becomes clear when the session starts and the bigger picture begins to unfold.
    The supervision space provides clarity of perspective, time for reflection, honest discussion and personal emotional support, as well as a place I can simply share the challenges of this line of work with someone who fully understands.
    Kanina is very approachable, kind, warm hearted, down to earth, honest and fun.  She is also very experienced and doesn't miss a trick!  She's a great teacher and I continue to learn about myself and my work from every single supervision.

  • I have been fortunate to benefit from Kanina's supervision in my practice.
    Her support has helped me in many ways, and these are just a few examples.
    When I was setting up my own animal healing and communication business, her advice was invaluable, and having space to talk things through was equally important.
    She continues to provide a safe space to discuss ongoing cases, helping me reflect on my thoughts and feelings and deepen my understanding. This is especially valuable when working with animals, as they often reflect their owners' emotions and behaviours. As a result, I feel better equipped to support both the animals and their owners with greater confidence and insight.
    What makes these sessions especially valuable is Kanina's intuition and energetic sensitivity, which help me work through difficult cases that stay on my mind.
    I invest in this supervision because of the support and knowledge I gain, which I hope to pass on to my clients so they, too, can benefit.
    I would highly recommend these sessions.

    Animal Healer & Communicator

  • Finding the right clinical supervisor has made such a difference to my professional practice and personal growth. From the beginning, I have felt genuinely understood by Kanina. She has exceptional insight and often picks up on areas that have been missed in more traditional supervision, helping me explore aspects of myself and my work that I might not otherwise have considered.
    Kanina is supportive, adaptable and intuitive in her approach. Each session responds to what I need at the time, whether that's reassurance, time to reflect, a different way of looking at something or the opportunity to explore something more deeply. I feel able to be open and honest without feeling judged.
    Her supervision has given me valuable insight into both my work and myself. I leave our sessions feeling grounded and clearer about things, and her combination of challenge and encouragement has helped me grow into a more holistic practitioner.
    I'm incredibly grateful for Kanina's guidance and support. Her supervision has made a significant difference to me, both personally and professionally, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her.
