These two short videos (respectively, around 8 minutes and 12 minutes) give an insight into some of the inspiration for the Creative Embodied Supervision groups here at Tempo.
In this video we see Joan Wilmot from CSTD London give an overview (7.41 minutes):
I love the way this model gives a framework for, and invites us to explore the situation from so many points of view. I particularly like the way we can look into our own experience, that of the client, the relationship between us, the situation and wider dynamics. It's a real micro, internal and macro approach!
I'd love to hear your thoughts around this - which aspects of this approach speak to you most?
2. In this second video, we see Cathy Malchiodi talking about the four functions of expressive arts therapy. Cathy discusses these ideas in terms of working with clients who have experienced trauma. However, these concepts can also be translated into supervision.
There is so much richness in the ideas that Cathy shares here. We as therapists, counsellors and allied health professionals can take so much from these approaches in supervision to regulate, connect with experience, unpack, explore, and so much more.
If you can imagine these two videos coming together to inform, nudge and create connection, clinical insight and a deepened understanding for you and your clients, this is what we are creating in the Tempo supervision groups.

What are the outcomes for team supervision?
Clinical supervision is one part of a complex pie of workplace sustainability and wellbeing in healthcare. Practical and financial considerations for rolling out clinical supervision in the workplace suggest that team supervision is an efficient use of time and resources. But what does the evidence say? Please see below for an overview of potential outcomes that organisations might expect when implementing clinical supervision in the workplace.
Creative embodied group supervision for counsellors, therapists and allied health
Join a small group of peers to learn, explore, connect, express and reflect through shared discussion, music and creative arts experiences.
Going underneath: beyond talk therapy
Nonspeaking approaches in counselling or supporting others can move us beyond the thinking, talking, logical world of the cortex, and into the subcortical realm of implicit experience, feelings, movement and the senses: into the unconscious experience that informs 80% of our existence. How can we find ways to connect with these parts of ourselves? What are the benefits of doing so? This blog explores these questions and why approaches beyond words are an essential part of any health or education professional's toolkit.
An inventory of creative nervous system supports
Polyvagal theory helps us to understand that we can be creative and and precise in our self supports. We have a whole smorgasbord of ways in which we can connect in, connect with others and connect with the world around us. We already know this, but in our busy-ness, we can forget. This is your invitation to look through and choose your own adventure of nervous system supports. Have a look at this infographic with a sense curiosity and of exploration. How might you bring yourself into greater connection with your world today?
