Individual & Group Supervision
A space for clarity and support when client work gets hard.
Does This Sound Familiar?
The session is over. You’ve closed Zoom or said goodbye to your client — and instead of that sense of completion, there’s a tangle of questions in your head and a quiet unease in your chest.
“Why does he keep saying things that don’t land?”
“Why didn’t I ask it differently?”
“Something feels off. Did I do the right thing?”
Or maybe it happens mid-session: your client falls silent, and you feel it — that moment of not knowing. Just stillness, and an inner voice asking: “Now what?”
Sound familiar?
That doesn’t make you a bad therapist.
It might simply mean it’s time to talk to a supervisor.
Do Any of These Feel Familiar?
- Your client goes silent, gives one-word answers, or circles back to the same material every session — and nothing moves.
- The session feels like it’s drifting — no direction, no anchor — and you’re not sure where either of you actually is.
- You notice irritation, helplessness, or an urge to rescue — and you’re not sure what to do with it.
- A client is manipulating, devaluing, or repeatedly crossing boundaries — and you’re not sure how to respond without rupturing the therapeutic relationship.
- You’re afraid of causing harm. Of saying the wrong thing. Of moving in the wrong direction.
- A case has stalled: weeks or months have passed with no real movement, and you can’t see a way forward.
- After a session you find yourself replaying it: “Where did I lose the thread? What should I have said?”
- You feel depleted by work that used to energise you.
- And underneath it all, a quiet voice: “Am I actually as capable as I need to be?”
If any of this feels familiar, support is here.
This Happens. And It’s Okay.
Every therapist encounters these moments — whether you’re newly qualified or have been practising for decades. It’s not a sign of incompetence. It’s a sign that you’re doing complex, emotionally alive, deeply human work.
Therapy is not a protocol. Every client is a different equation. Getting lost sometimes isn’t a weakness — it’s an occupational reality.
The difference between those who stay stuck and those who move forward often comes down to one thing: having a space to speak honestly, and an experienced outside perspective — someone who can see what’s genuinely hard to see from within the work.
Supervision isn’t an evaluation. It isn’t oversight or control. It’s a safeguard built into our profession — and an act of professional self-care.
Supervision: Where Clarity Emerges
Imagine a space where you can talk openly about everything that happens in your work — without bracing for judgment.
Where you can say: “I don’t know what to do with this client” — and what you receive isn’t critique, but genuine support and something concrete to work with.
Where we look together at what’s actually happening between you and your client. What lies behind their silence. What your frustration or confusion might be pointing to. What your reactions signal — and what they reveal about the client and the relationship.
Where hypotheses emerge, a direction takes shape, and a plan forms. And by the end, there’s a shift: “I know where to go from here.”
Supervision is your professional safe space: confidential, supportive, and focused on what actually helps.
What Shifts After Supervision
Before → After:
- “I don’t know what to do with this client” → I have a clearer sense of what’s happening — and real options for where to go from here.
- “I’m questioning my own competence” → I feel steadier in myself as a practitioner.
- “The case has stalled — no progress” → I can see new angles, and the work has momentum again.
- “I’m afraid of causing harm” → I understand my client more fully and can move forward with more confidence.
- “I can’t take this client anymore” → I understand what my reactions are about — and I have a way to work with them.
- “I’m burning out” → I feel reconnected to the work — and to why I do it.
- “I’m carrying this alone” → I have support — and someone to think alongside.

Who Is Your Supervisor?
That’s your call.
If you’d like to work with me — I’m Andriy K, psychotherapist since 2010, supervisor since 2021.
I’ve trained with an exceptional range of teachers, including Olena Marinushkina, Natalia Turbovets, Jay Levin, Serhiy Haidai, Georgiy Kushnir, Nifont Dolgopolov, Olga Dolgopolova, Mykhailo Kryakhtunov, Iren Holuba, Peter Philippson, Jean-Marie Robine, Gianni Francesetti, Pierre-Yves Goriou, Alex Gershanov — and that’s far from the full list.
In my work, I focus on:
- Complex client situations where the work has hit a wall.
- Countertransference — your own emotional responses and how they show up in the room.
- Strategy and intervention choices in difficult or stuck cases.
- Holding you through emotionally demanding work.
- Burnout prevention and sustainable practice.
My style is collaborative, not directive. I’m not here to tell you how to “do it right” — I’m here to help you find your own way. I bring my experience and perspective; you bring yours, your intuition, and your clinical thinking. When I offer a view, it’s an invitation — not a verdict. Together, we find something with the quality of insight, clarity, and depth.
You leave knowing: “I understand. I know where I’m going. I’m not alone.”
How Supervision Works
- Format: individual or group session, online.
- Duration: 50 minutes / 90–120 minutes.
- Frequency: as needed — one-off or ongoing.
In a session, we might:
- Work through a specific case or a session that’s stayed with you.
- Explore the relational field between you and your client.
- Look at your own reactions — the ones that are getting in the way, or simply puzzling you.
- Generate new hypotheses and find fresh directions.
- Discuss strategy and your choice of interventions.
- Ground your work in theory and what others have learned before us.
- Talk about exhaustion, doubt, uncertainty, fear — whatever is affecting your practice right now.
Everything you bring stays between us. Confidentiality is foundational — not just a policy.
“Yes, But…” — Let’s Address the Hesitations
“I can probably handle it on my own” Perhaps. But how long have you already been carrying it? And at what cost — to your energy, your confidence, your relationship with that client? Supervision compresses the timeline. One conversation can sometimes give you what months of solo thinking couldn’t.
“My case isn’t really that complicated” It doesn’t have to be. If it’s still living in your head after the session ends — it’s already asking for attention. You don’t need a crisis to bring something to supervision. Curiosity and a desire to work well are enough.
“I’ll be judged. I’ll look incompetent” You won’t. Supervision isn’t an exam or a performance review. Your doubts and difficulties aren’t liabilities here — they’re the actual material. The willingness to name what’s hard and look for a way through? That’s what professional integrity looks like.
“It’s expensive” Consider what a stuck case is already costing you — in time, in energy, in the anxiety you carry home. Supervision isn’t an added expense. It’s what makes the rest of your work sustainable.
“Won’t this violate my client’s confidentiality?” No. In supervision, no names are used and nothing that could identify a client is disclosed. The work is with dynamics, patterns, and your experience of the relationship — not with personal data. And if you’d like, you can let your client know you’re working with a supervisor, or even invite them into the conversation. Either way, their privacy is protected.
What Colleagues Have Said
“For the first time in a long while, I felt I could speak about my work honestly — without bracing for judgment. That mattered more than I expected. I found real support and answers to questions I’d been sitting with for months. I’m deeply grateful.” — Gestalt therapist
“After our first session, I finally understood what was happening with my client. It was like someone turned on the light.” — Psychologist, 3 years in practice
“I came in feeling lost and at a dead end. The questions asked and the gentle way things were opened up let me see the situation differently, find a way forward, and leave with something I hadn’t had in a while — a sense of my own competence.”
Common Questions
Do I need to prepare anything beforehand?
No. You can come with a specific case, a general sense that something isn’t working, or simply a feeling you can’t quite name. We’ll find where to start together.
Can I come just once, with no obligation to continue?
Yes. The first session is always exploratory. You decide what comes next.
Is supervision worth it if I’m just starting out?
Absolutely — and I’d say it’s especially important early on. The beginning of practice is when uncertainty runs highest and the need for a thinking partner is greatest.
Will you tell me what I should have done?
No. My job isn’t to audit your decisions — it’s to help you think more clearly about your work and trust your own clinical judgment. We work it out together.
How often should I come?
That depends on where you are. Once a month works well as ongoing professional support. More frequently makes sense when you’re working through something particularly difficult — a complex case, a relational rupture, or a moment of real doubt about your practice.
