Supervision with Ashley
An existential, neuroaffirming supervision space online or in person.
Through curiosity and shared reflection, Ashley offers space for acceptance, clarity and balance, by holding complexity rather than trying to resolve it.
Her supervision training is through the Centre for Existential Practice, and her work is shaped by an existential approach that values meaning, relationship, and lived experience.
Supervision for therapists working with neurodivergent clients
I offer supervision for therapists working with neurodivergent clients, grounded in a neuroaffirming, trauma-informed, and existential approach.
My supervision training is through the Centre for Existential Practice, and my clinical background includes working with neurodivergent individuals, families, and systems across private practice, school settings, and group work, with a particular focus on adolescents and young people.
Why this work matters
Many therapists enter this work with strong intentions and sound general training, yet limited preparation for the relational realities of working with neurodivergent clients.
For many neurodivergent people - particularly teenagers - trust is not built through technique, reassurance, or explanation, but through presence, consistency, and being met as a whole person.
Many neurodivergent individuals have also experienced cumulative trauma across their lives through misunderstanding, shame, rejection, invalidation, and navigating systems not designed with them in mind. These experiences can shape nervous systems, relationships, and expectations of care.
A deeply attuned, trauma-informed approach
Working well with neurodivergent clients often calls for a next level of trauma-informed practice - not in a way that is heavy or overwhelming, but in a way that is deeply attuned.
This work invites:
-
Full body listening
-
Curiosity about context and meaning
-
Flexibility in structure, pace, and form
-
Responsiveness to difference and power
Neurodivergent clients often sense incongruence quickly. What supports connection is not having the 'right' intervention, but the lived qualities at the heart of therapeutic work: empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard.
Supervision for neurodivergent therapists
Holding many roles - without losing yourself
I also offer supervision for neurodivergent therapists, particularly those navigating multiple roles - practitioner, parent, partner, carer, business owner - while trying to remain present, ethical, and human in the therapy room.
Rather than aiming for balance as something to achieve, supervision becomes a space to work with acceptance, curiosity, and lived experience.
What this space makes room for
Together, we may explore:
-
How your nervous system shows up in the work
-
The impact of masking, fatigue, and role strain
-
Where pressure is coming from - internally and externally
-
What enough looks like in this season of your life
-
What care and sustainability mean for you
This is not supervision that asks you to become more “together,” less affected, or more compliant.
A supervision space rooted in integrity
This is supervision that:
-
Respects your limits and responsibilities
-
Honours your way of being and thinking
-
Values authenticity over performance
-
Supports you to remain grounded without self-erasure
The intention is not to fix or optimise you, but to support reflection, clarity, and steadiness while you continue to do meaningful work.
