& Reflective Pracitce
Clinical Supervision
I am a trained clinical supervisor with over 20 years experience as a clinical supervisor and over three decades of clinical work as a therapist.
I have incorporated a variety of theories into my approach.
These include: Attachment theory, Developmental theories, Systemic theory and Trauma theory, especially its impact on brain development and expression through the body.
I have supervised Psychotherapists and Creative Arts therapists.
I am a founder member of the Institute of psychotherapy and Disability (IPD) a member of BaDth and a member of HCPC.
"Noelle has supported both my professional and personal development in a way that is very difficult to put into words. My experience of supervision has been that I have felt extremely safe and validated and able to reflect on my work in a way that has promoted huge growth in my understanding of trauma and in my skills for relational work whether with individuals on the autism spectrum and/or who have intellectual disabilities or with their teams. I have felt hugely reassured and inspired by Noelle’s knowledge and experience, and she has made this accessible to me in the way she has supported my own learning. Noelle’s passion for her work has propelled my own learning and development in this field. Noelle has supported me to value my own qualities and skills and to use them as I develop my practice. The values of trauma informed approaches run through the core of her supervision. I have been supported to reflect on my own reactions and to challenge my own assumptions in a way that has taught me how to support others to do the same, enhancing my skills as a therapist, supervisor and facilitator of training and reflective practice."

Reflective Practice
Reflective practice is an important part of trauma informed practice.
It is a facilitated space that enables groups to consciously reflect on some of the unconscious processes that happen within situations within their workplace. This can enable more considered choices to be made regarding future actions.
Within collaborative team reflective practice staff can learn from others’ experiences.
Individuals can gain self-clarification through verbalizing a case and receiving guidance and reflective thinking from others with different disciplines/perspectives
“the ability to admit uncertainties and ‘not knowing’ is a crucial component in the process of reflective practice.” ( Ruch, 2007 ).
