Clinical Supervision

Jill is an approved Clinical Supervisor (RCC-ACS) and has had the honour of providing Clinical
Supervision to Therapists of all stages of practice, from students to the very seasoned clinicians since
2013.

Clinical Supervision is a way of enhancing your skills, stretching your practice and preventing
compassion fatigue. Supervision is recognized as BCCSW Continuing Professional Development.
“Clinical supervision is a disciplined, tutorial process wherein principles are transformed into
practical skills, with four overlapping foci: administrative, evaluative, clinical, and supportive.”
(Powell, 1998.)

As a Co-founder of The Counselling Collective
Jill is dedicated to the promotion of community well being.
She is compassionate and professional.

Conflict of interest statement

As I work in many programs at Royal Jubilee Hospital in Mental Health and Substance use, I have a conflict of interest in working with you if you or your immediate family are involved with any of the following programs: The Psychiatric Emergency Service; the Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit, 1 South; 2 North and South. I will happily refer you and your family to another therapist if this is the case.
