Susan Barr

As an accredited therapist with over 20 years' experience, I offer warm, approachable and professional clinical supervision for counsellors and psychotherapists working with children, adolescents and adults.

My aim is to provide a supportive, collaborative space where you can reflect on your practice, develop your clinical thinking and feel confident in finding your own answers. I see supervision as a relationship built on trust, curiosity and respect, where challenge is offered thoughtfully alongside encouragement and support.

My original training is humanistic, with the core conditions at the heart of my work. Alongside this, I have additional training in CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR (working towards accreditation), and child, adolescent and family mental health through the Tavistock. I completed my supervision training with Terapia and bring a trauma-informed, systemic perspective to my supervision practice.

I enjoy supporting therapists to think creatively about their work while considering the wider systems that influence clients' lives, including family relationships, parenting and the broader context in which difficulties arise. Whether you are working with adults, children or young people, I aim to help you deepen your understanding, strengthen your practice and maintain safe, ethical and effective client work.

Alongside case discussion, I believe supervision should also nurture the practitioner. I offer a space to explore professional development, build resilience, enhance wellbeing and support you to continue growing with confidence throughout your career.
