Clinical Supervision for Professionals Working with Selective Mutism

Specialist supervision for speech and language therapists and other professionals supporting children and young people with selective mutism.

I offer a reflective, structured space to think more deeply about your work, particularly when cases feel complex, unclear or “stuck”.

Support for specific cases

Working with selective mutism often involves navigating anxiety, communication differences, and a range of contextual factors across home, school and therapy environments.

Progress can feel slow or inconsistent, and it is not uncommon for professionals to feel uncertain about how best to move forward.

Clinical supervision provides a space to step back, reflect, and develop a clearer understanding of what may be maintaining a child’s difficulties and how to respond in a way that supports communication through safety, rather than pressure.

Reflective and relational practice

In addition to case discussion, supervision offers space to reflect on your own experience as a professional.

This may include:

    •  emotional responses within the work
    •  uncertainty or feeling “stuck”
    •  managing complexity across systems
    •  the impact of the work over time
    •  adapting intervention approaches when progress feels limited
    •  planning gradual, responsive steps towards communication
    •  thinking about the wider system (family, school, professionals)
    •  reflecting on therapeutic relationships and dynamics
