Supervision

Building confidence, resilience, and excellence in therapy practice.

Supervision with Dr Sophie Lea

Supervision is not just a professional requirement — it’s a trusted space for reflection, growth, and development. My approach is designed to empower therapists, offering guidance that helps refine their practice, build confidence, and sustain professional wellbeing.

With over 25 years of counselling and 15 years of supervisory experience, I bring both academic knowledge and professional wisdom to the supervisory relationship. Supervision with me is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to your stage of professional development — whether you’re an early career counsellor, a school-based professional, or an experienced therapist seeking to deepen your practice.
