Clinical Supervision & Consultation

Clinical Supervision & Consultation

I offer specialist clinical supervision and consultation to psychological professionals across a range of settings. Drawing on over 30 years of experience in NHS and private practice, I provide structured, reflective, and practice-enhancing supervision for individuals and teams working in complex clinical environments.

Whether you are a clinician developing your skills, a manager seeking consultation on service delivery, or a team looking to deepen therapeutic cohesion, I can bring a wealth of supervisory expertise informed by my work across services, countries, and professional disciplines.

Supervision is available for:

  • Individual therapists and psychologists

  • Teams within the NHS and third sector

  • Private practitioners and clinic managers

  • RO-DBT practitioners seeking supervision to improve competence and adherence to the model

  • CAT practitioners

  • Senior NHS leadership and service managers

  • International teams establishing or delivering RO-DBT programmes

  • Leaders in school

  • Safeguarding staff in schools

  • Any business leaders who need support to manage staff conflict and work stress

  • Emergency service staff

I currently supervises professionals in the UK and worldwide, working flexibly across time zones.

I have been trained in Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) since 2004 and am an accredited CAT practitioner and experienced supervisor.

My published work includes journal articles and a book chapter in Creativity and Mental Health, reflecting my special interests in working with dreams within CAT and integrating playful approaches into the therapeutic process.

Consultation for Management & Service Development

I offer consultation and guidance to those running services or in leadership roles— from establishing specialist interventions to improving outcomes, reducing waiting lists, and enhancing overall service efficiency. Support includes strategies to reduce staff sickness, manage organisational and interpersonal conflict, and foster a culture of change and innovation within teams and services.

“I am also grateful to a number of key influencers who have contributed in smaller yet powerful ways to RO DBT over the years. For starters, Sophie Rushbrook was pivotal in helping me formulate the final version of the skills manual and improving our methods of training and supervision
