Are you looking for supervision that is effective, creative, stimulating, inspiring, energizing and fun? Are you interested in learning more about how to use creative right-brain processes in combination with logic left-brain to generate more effective change?

This is a supervision group with a difference.

We are using a solution focused approach combining art therapy, IDT, meditation, grounding and creative visualization to build on what works, find renewed strength, inspiration and clarity for our work with clients. Solutions will present themselves through a number of proven and effective creative processes, using right brain intuition and creativity in combination with left brain logic. We are looking at recent research around neuroplasticity of the brain, rewiring the brain and how to use this new and exciting knowledge more effectively with our clients.

Expect to feel recharged and inspired to work creatively with your clients.
