Claudine Van De Vyver

I am currently taking on new supervisees , and have availability at various times. Feel free to contact me .  

As a clinical supervisor and integrated psychotherapist, I offer both bi-weekly and monthly supervision sessions designed to support your professional growth. My goal is to work collaboratively with you, guiding you to develop your own analysis and thoughts about the work you do with clients. Together, we can explore the most effective ways of engaging with your clients, ensuring they receive the best possible care. By fostering your autonomy within your practice, we aim to strengthen your confidence and competence in providing meaningful therapeutic support.

 By doing so, we can work collaboratively to deepen our understanding and enhance the therapeutic work, always ensuring that we meet the unique needs of your clients in the most effective way possible. Using a humanistic approach, I incorporate Person-Centered Therapy (PCT), Attachment Theory, Transactional Analysis (TA), and other modalities to tailor our work together. My aim is to adapt these theories to best support your thinking about the client's process.

As your supervisor, you can expect an open and warm approach that fosters a safe and supportive environment for both personal and professional growth. My aim is to provide stability, consistency, and reliability in our work together, ensuring that you feel confident and well-supported throughout the supervisory process. I invite and value your thinking and analysis, offering dedicated time for reflection and collaborative exploration as we work together to enhance your therapeutic practice.

My therapeutic approach is built on a fundamental truth: self-compassion and kindness are essential foundations for lasting well being. I am guided by the unwavering belief that every person has intrinsic worth and deserves to experience love, build nurturing relationships, and forge authentic connections that enrich their lives.

My own personal journey through childhood, family divorce, marriage and motherhood along with PTSD and PND initiated my desire to work in the counselling. By focusing on healing my own trauma has allowed me to break free of unhealthy behaviour patterns and belief systems to live an authentic happier life and gain acceptance of my life experiences.

In your first session I invite you to use our time together as an opportunity for you to settle in and reflect on all the requirements, needs, and aspirations you have for yourself. This is a space where we can explore what you hope to achieve during supervision and how you envision your professional development.

I am here to guide you not only in your work with clients but also in understanding and navigating your own parallel process as it unfolds. Additionally, I will support you through the accreditation process whenever you choose to pursue that path, providing tailored guidance to help you meet the necessary milestones and ensure your confidence every step of the way.I also want to invite you the opportunity to ask any questions or voice any queries you may have throughout our work together. This time is for open communication, ensuring that you feel heard and understood. I believe that supervision is a continuous process, and I value the opportunity for our individual relationship to develop over time. By fostering an ongoing dialogue, we can strengthen our collaboration and ensure that your unique needs and goals are always at the forefront of our work.
