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.

Reflective Supervision for School Wellbeing Teams

I offer reflective supervision for school wellbeing teams navigating the complexity of working within education systems - supporting students, families, staff, and leadership while holding clinical, safeguarding, and relational responsibilities.

Wellbeing teams often include social workers, counsellors, psychologists, youth workers, arts therapists and other allied professionals. Each brings a different training background, ethical framework, and way of thinking.

Supervision becomes a shared space that respects and integrates these different professional lenses, rather than privileging one discipline over another.

Rather than striving for balance as something to perfect, supervision offers steadiness and reflection within the lived realities of school culture.

​

What this space makes room for

Together, we may explore:

• How your nervous system responds to high-demand environments
• The emotional weight of safeguarding and complex student needs
• Role strain within education systems and leadership structures
• Navigating school culture, expectations, and ethical tensions
• Supporting one another as a team without absorbing everything
• What sustainable practice looks like in your context

​

A supervision space that honours difference

This is supervision that:

  • Respects your limits and responsibilities

  • Honours your way of being and thinking

  • Values authenticity 

  • Supports you to remain grounded without self-erasure

  • Embraces different professional training backgrounds
