Clinical Supervision

Clinical supervision is a collaborative, reflective, and ethically grounded process that supports psychotherapists and play therapists to develop and sustain safe, effective, and attuned clinical practice. It provides a dedicated space to reflect on therapeutic work, explore clinical dilemmas, attend to the emotional impact of the work, and ensure practice remains aligned with ethical, professional, and safeguarding standards.

High-quality supervision supports practitioners to deepen clinical insight, strengthen therapeutic relationships, enhance self-awareness, and integrate theory with practice. It is also a vital component of professional wellbeing, helping therapists remain regulated, reflective, and resilient in demanding clinical roles.

Charlotte is an experienced and fully accredited clinical supervisor. She is accredited with IAPTP, IAHIP and EAIP. Charlotte Lyne offers supervision to trainees, accredited psychotherapists, and play therapists across Ireland. She completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Creative Clinical Supervision with Children’s Therapy Centre, providing a strong foundation in relational, integrative, and developmentally informed supervision practice.

More recently, Charlotte completed specialist training to become a Synergetic Play Therapy Supervisor, bringing a neurobiologically informed, regulation-focused lens to supervision. This approach places particular emphasis on therapist self-awareness, nervous system regulation, parallel process, and the use of the therapist’s own internal experience as a key clinical tool.
