Supervisors for trauma therapy

Supervisors

On this page we introduce you to the supervisors.

Supervision is intended to support professionals at different levels of experience: helping beginners develop confidence, structure and practical skills ("use it or lose it") as well as

to offer experienced therapists space for critical questioning, professional development and reflection on complex processes.

This also includes interdisciplinary case discussions.
