Gain Clarity
ClarityMind offers external clinical supervision and reflective practice to professionals working in the human services fields in sectors including community services, education and mental health. We aim to provide a nurturing and reflective space allowing you to gain insight into your current practice and engage in critical thinking.
Support
Trauma-Informed Reflective Practice
ClarityMind is passionate about utilising evidence-based and research-informed practice in the supervision space and promoting this to flow down into direct practice. The utilisation of trauma-informed practice is integral in actively supporting and promoting reflection and critical thinking. When we are offered a space to be grounded, regulated and engaged in a safe relationship, we are then able to empathically make sense of the impact of trauma on our clients, we have the capacity to engage with them more thoughtfully and compassionately and therefore contribute to positive outcomes.
Furthermore, trauma-informed clinical supervision prioritises the professionals’ lived experience in identifying the professionals’ strengths, challenges, values and beliefs whilst also acknowledging the impact of secondary traumatisation where it occurs.
Education
Professional Development
All professionals require ongoing development of skills to promote practice excellence and to engage in an evidence-informed manner to support personal and professional growth, maintaining energy and enjoyment in the work and ultimately to support positive outcomes for clients / consumers.
Collaborative discussions can help gain insight into your Professional Development needs, whilst elements of coaching are brought into the supervision space in connecting practice to evidence-based theories, frameworks and therapeutic models, leading to a feeling of increased competency and confidence in direct client service provision.
Accountability
Reflective Practice within an Organisational Context
“Who are my people?”
It is integral to explore how our internalised values and defences lead us towards being open and engaged or leaning towards conflict and isolation. This can occur in direct practice, within the teams we work in and how we experience our leaders, sometimes leading to feelings of frustration or ‘stuckness’. It can blind us to the processes that sit alongside best practice.
By developing a deep understanding of the systems within which we work in and across, including their function and context, it can support a shift in these feelings, whilst also opening up conversations to identify where the individual holds responsibility and accountability in their role and reconnect to organisational/systemic processes that are available and necessary.
