When you're a therapist or counsellor, you spend your days supporting, guiding, and empowering others. Your work brings clarity and calm into lives filled with confusion and anxiety. But who looks after you? Therapists and counsellors, just like the individuals and families they serve, need a nurturing space to reflect, recharge, and refine their practice. At Lisa’s Listening Lounge, we understand that the support network around therapists and counsellors is vital. That’s why we've created our dedicated supervisory service—thoughtfully designed to offer professional guidance, compassionate encouragement, and restorative support.
Why Supervision Matters
As a counsellor or therapist, you're constantly holding space for others' emotions, challenges, and stories. It's rewarding yet deeply demanding work, emotionally, mentally, and energetically. Supervision isn't merely about discussing client cases—it's about taking the time to reflect deeply on your experiences, exploring the impact your practice has on you personally and professionally, and nurturing your development and self-care.
At Lisa's Listening Lounge, supervision is seen as an essential part of ethical practice. It's your dedicated space to pause, breathe, and gain perspective—a moment to reconnect with your purpose and values, ensuring you continue providing the best possible support for those who rely on you.

Unlike traditional, overly clinical approaches, Lisa’s Listening Lounge prioritises a warm, supportive environment where therapists and counsellors feel comfortable sharing openly. Here, vulnerability isn't just accepted—it's celebrated as the cornerstone of personal and professional growth.
Lisa brings gentle curiosity and empathic insight into each supervisory session. Her calming presence creates an environment that feels safe and restorative, rather than evaluative or intimidating. Lisa believes strongly in the power of collaboration, nurturing a trusting relationship where therapists can explore their practice without fear of judgement or criticism.
