Services for Professionals
The Social Confidence Collective team support individuals, small teams and organisations across a wide range of settings including secondary schools, youth agencies and mental health services.
Clinical Supervision
Our senior Occupational Therapists are experienced mental health clinicians and supervisors. Jo, Sonya and Rachel have completed advanced training in professional supervision and deliver supervision to small teams and individuals nation-wide. Our approach is collaborative, practical and grounded in OT theory, while also paying attention to the real humans doing the work.
In supervision, we explore clinical reasoning, practice dilemmas, system challenges and the emotional load of the work; helping you feel steadier, prevent burnout, and sustain a career you love.
Our supervision is particularly suited to clinicians interested in:
Supporting young people experiencing mental health difficulties
Working with neurodivergent young people
Sensory processing and sensory-informed practice
Therapeutic groups and individual intervention
Systems approaches around the young person
OT assessment, including functional assessments
Focussed Psychological Strategies (CBT, DBT skills, Motivational Interviewing)
Other Professional Learning

“A very good training. The different balance between experiential and content delivery was perfect and the whole group felt really engaged and confident to share their opinions and thoughts.”
