SUPERVISION

Ellen is an ACS with BCACC, this means that in addition to her many years of
clinical experience, she has also completed course work specific to providing supervision
and mentorship.

If you are a new to the profession and want to grow your competence, confidence and
capacity as a counsellor Ellen is pleased to offer supervision on an individual or group
basis.
Individual supervision/mentorship – in person or virtual, tailored to your needs. Collaborative
in nature, covering clinical, ethical, legal and administrative issues, frequency based on your
needs. Feedback based on your case reports, recordings of sessions, and role plays.

Group supervision- in person or on a virtual platform for 2-6 individuals. The focus of supervision can be tailored to the group and may include topics such as setting up your practice, determining competence, confidence, comfort and capacity. It can also include establishing strategies for self monitoring and self assessment to track progress and support needs. Keeping in mind Ellen’s areas of expertise, we can also focus on trauma informed care, trauma processing, trauma stewardship and self care. The cost of sessions will be shared by group members.

As a part of offering supervision to graduate students, Ellen is able to provide a lower cost counselling option. If you are interested in learning more about receiving counselling with a practicum student, please contact Ellen!
