Who I supervise
Wherever you are in your practice.
Supervision that meets you where you are — early caseload, complex presentations, or a mature practice ready for review.
Pre-accreditation supervision
Structured supervision hours and documentation for counsellors and psychotherapists working towards IACP accreditation.
Post-accreditation review
Ongoing supervision for established practitioners reviewing a mature caseload and their own development.
Trauma & EMDR practice
Reflective space for therapists working with trauma, dissociation, EMDR and body-based interventions.
Couples & family caseloads
Thinking about systemic work, alliance across two or more clients, and the ethics of holding a whole system.
Complex or stuck cases
The client who won't leave your head, the session that unsettled you, the rupture you're not sure how to repair.
Therapist self-care
Naming the impact your work has on you — vicarious trauma, burnout, and the private life that inevitably shows up.
How it works
A first conversation, without commitment.
- 01
Get in touch
Send a short enquiry. Rosemary replies personally, usually within one working day, with availability and next steps.
- 02
Initial conversation
A short first meeting to talk through your setting, your caseload, and what you're looking for from supervision — and to check we're a good fit.
- 03
Ongoing supervision
Monthly (minimum) or more frequent as agreed, in Dublin, at the Gorey practice, or by secure video anywhere in Ireland. IACP documentation provided as standard.
The work itself
Rigour, warmth, and the space to be honest.
Supervision is the place where the work of the work happens — where you get to think out loud, notice the client who won't leave your head, and be honest about the sessions that unsettled you. It protects your clients and it protects you. The IACP sees supervision as vital to a therapist's competency, accreditation and wellbeing, and it is required by most accredited counselling bodies.
I bring nearly three decades of clinical practice, a broad experience of client presentations, and a warm, thorough style. Whether you're pre-accreditation and working through your first caseload, or long-qualified and reviewing an established practice, you'll be met with respect and rigour.
What happens in a session
We discuss aspects of your work in an objective way — the effectiveness of the therapist–client relationship, any issues or questions you're carrying, and any observations or feedback I might have. The aim is that you're meeting the needs of the people you're working with, as well as your own.
The impact of the work on you
Some client work can be traumatic for a therapist, or can become so because of what's arising in your own life. Supervision ensures you stay fully aware of the impact your work has on you — for your own self-care, and so you can continue to provide a high standard of care to your clients.
“It protects your clients — and it protects you.”

Common questions
Frequently asked
The questions counsellors and psychotherapists in Dublin, Wexford and across Ireland most commonly ask before starting supervision.
How much does clinical supervision cost in Ireland?+
Individual supervision is agreed on a case-by-case basis depending on frequency and format. Please get in touch by phone or email for current supervision fees — group supervision arrangements can also be discussed.
Are you an IACP-accredited supervisor?+
Yes. Rosemary Chaney is an IACP-accredited counsellor/psychotherapist (since 2005) and an IACP-accredited supervisor (since 2012), and provides supervision documentation that meets IACP accreditation and re-accreditation requirements.
Where can I find a clinical supervisor in Dublin?+
Rosemary offers clinical supervision from Dublin, from her Gorey (Co. Wexford) practice, and by secure video across Ireland — so Dublin-based counsellors can choose in-person or online, whichever suits their working week.
Do you offer supervision in Wexford and the south-east?+
Yes — from the Gorey practice, convenient for counsellors and psychotherapists across Gorey, Enniscorthy, Wexford town, Ferns, Courtown, Arklow and the wider south-east.
What is clinical supervision?+
Clinical supervision is a formal arrangement whereby a therapist meets a qualified supervisor to discuss their work. The supervisor is also a therapist, who has completed additional training in supervision. The IACP sees supervision as vital to a therapist's competency, accreditation and wellbeing, and it is required by most accredited counselling bodies.
What actually happens in a supervision session?+
We discuss aspects of your clinical work in an objective, structured way — the effectiveness of the therapist–client relationship, any issues or questions you're carrying, and any observations I might have. The aim is to ensure you're meeting the needs of your clients, as well as your own needs as a practitioner.
Who is your supervision for?+
For qualified and pre-accreditation counsellors and psychotherapists working with individuals, couples, teens or families. Trainees on placement, therapists working towards IACP accreditation, and long-established practitioners reviewing an established caseload are all welcome.
How often do supervision sessions happen?+
The IACP requires a minimum of one hour of supervision per month for pre-accreditation supervisees, with a set ratio of supervision to client hours. Beyond that, frequency is agreed between us based on your caseload, presentation types and stage of practice.
Do you offer online clinical supervision?+
Yes — secure video supervision is available and works well for supervisees across Ireland, including practitioners in rural areas or those balancing a busy caseload with travel time.
Do you offer group supervision?+
Group supervision arrangements can be discussed by prior agreement — please get in touch to talk through your setting, group size and focus.
What is your approach and style as a supervisor?+
Warm, respectful, thorough and grounded — with genuine curiosity about your work, your clients, and you as a practitioner. Whether you're pre-accreditation and working through your first caseload, or long-qualified and reviewing an established practice, you'll be met with respect and rigour.
Do you supervise trauma-informed and EMDR-trained therapists?+
Yes. Rosemary is trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (Levels 1 & 2, Boulder, Colorado) and holds the EMDR Europe Standard training, so she is comfortable supervising work with trauma, dissociation and body-based interventions alongside CBT and integrative approaches.
Do you provide supervision documentation for IACP accreditation?+
Yes — hours, focus areas, and any documentation required for IACP accreditation or re-accreditation are provided as standard. Please just tell me what your accreditation body needs and by when.
Is supervision confidential?+
Yes. Supervision is confidential within the standard IACP ethical framework, including the usual limits around serious risk of harm and legal disclosure. Clients discussed in supervision are anonymised, and everything shared about your practice stays in the room.
Can I have you as both a therapist and a supervisor?+
No — the roles are held separately for ethical reasons. If you're looking for personal therapy alongside supervision, that would need to be with a different practitioner, and I'm happy to think that through with you.
How do I arrange an initial supervision conversation?+
Use the Book a session button, call 087 458 0150, or email info@rcpsychotherapy.ie. Rosemary replies personally, usually within one working day, and will arrange a first conversation so you can check the fit before committing.
