Clinical Supervision for sex and porn addiction and betrayal trauma

Clinical Supervision for Working with Sex & Porn Addiction and Betrayal Trauma

Specialist support for counsellors and psychotherapists

Working with sexually compulsive behaviours and betrayal trauma can be complex, nuanced, and at times emotionally demanding.

These are not straightforward presentations. They often involve secrecy, shame, trauma responses, relational rupture, and high levels of emotional intensity,  both in the client and in the room.

Having the right supervision is essential.

A Space That Understands the Work

This is a supervision space specifically for therapists working with:

You won’t need to explain the basics.
We understand the dynamics, the language, and the complexity of this work.

Why Specialist Supervision Matters

Standard supervision doesn’t always hold the depth or specificity required for this area.

You may find yourself navigating:

  • High levels of shame, defensiveness, or minimisation
  • Complex disclosures and ethical dilemmas
  • Partners in acute trauma responses
  • Polarised relationship dynamics
  • Your own emotional responses to the material

Specialist supervision provides a space to slow this down, think clearly, and work safely.

How Supervision Can Support You

This space is both reflective and practical. It’s about supporting you as a therapist, not just reviewing cases.

Supervision can help you to:

  • Work safely and ethically with complex presentations
  • Deepen your understanding of addiction and betrayal trauma
  • Navigate disclosure and relational dynamics
  • Hold appropriate boundaries and therapeutic stance
  • Reflect on your own responses and avoid burnout
  • Feel more confident and grounded in your work

Who This Is For

This supervision is suitable for:

  • Qualified counsellors and psychotherapists
  • Trainees working with sexually compulsive behaviours or betrayal trauma
  • Therapists wanting to develop confidence in this area
  • Practitioners already working in this field who want specialist input

What You Can Expect

You can expect a thoughtful, containing space where the complexity of your work is understood and respected. There is room to slow things down, reflect, and think clearly about what’s happening both for your client and for you. We hold the detail, the uncertainty, and the emotional weight of the work together, so you’re not left carrying it alone.

  • A collaborative, non-judgemental environment
  • Space to reflect on both client work and your experience as a therapist
  • Support with clinical decision-making and ethical considerations
  • A balance of challenge and support
  • A focus on safe, effective practice
