Supervision
An integral part of any therapist’s growth
In clinical supervision, practitioners meet with a supervisor to develop their skills, process their experience, and ensure good service to clients. We discuss transference and counter-transference and the uses of self in the healing process. I train professional social workers, counselors, and health-care professionals to expand the range of their abilities and techniques and work confidently with their clients in the following areas of healing: immigration and social justice, abuse and trauma, addiction, and energy imbalances. I work with individuals and groups.
Immigration & social justice
I work with clients who have experienced immigration and/or political oppression have very specific experiences with loss. In supervision, I teach professionals a concrete set of skills to address the social and emotional needs of this population.
Abuse & trauma
I specialize in working with clients who have experienced extreme disturbances in their lives due to violence, sexual abuse, incest, surgery, and torture - all of which require special types of clinical engagement. In supervision, I teach professionals to work with these populations and bring out the inner strengths these survivors possess.
Overcome addiction
Clients who struggle with addiction of any kind tend to be stigmatized in one way or another. In supervision, we discuss the disease-model of addiction and how to support recovery in a shame-free way.
Energy imbalances
Clients who suffer from anxiety, phobia, and/or disorganized thought-processes often pose a special challenge for professionals seeking to locate the source of the problem. In supervision, I teach professionals the fundamentals of Reiki (Level One), and how this tradition of energetic healing can be combined with these professionals’ own approaches.
"I've known Atash for several years and at first I was trepidatious when she asked me questions about how I felt. I knew she was a therapist and I was more into blocking out how I felt rather than talking about it as it's what I had learnt through the first 35 years of my life. After the end of a relationship, I agreed to speak to Atash and my lord that one session changed my whole life.
I know that sounds a bit dramatic but within a couple of hours she had helped me connect a lot of things in my head to help me understand why I was like the way I was. She'd added a few pieces to the jigsaw puzzle in my head and afterwards I genuinely felt like I'd been hit by an emotional truck made from flowers and enlightenment.

Since that day, I've gone on to have a lot more counselling to help me understand myself more. I feel comfortable talking about how I feel with others and I enjoy having 'real' conversations with people. I've also been to college for a year to train as a counsellor and have a further two years left before I qualify.
Atash loves to help others and without her kindness and input into my existence, I would not be the person I am today."

You don’t have to do this alone
The first step to healing, is asking for help.
