Supervision with Ratha is truly unique and a supportive experience that has helped me shape my practice and skills as a counsellor. Her warm and caring nature made me feel that I could take risks knowing that she would be there to help build me through the process. Through supervision with Ratha, I have expanded my approach in counselling to include somatic work as Ratha's passion and expertise in somatic therapy inspired me to use it in working with trauma survivors. I have witness the incredible success my clients had through this modality. ​Ratha creates a warm and inviting supervision environment that makes you feel comfortable, her feedback through my internship was absolutely invaluable. I have gained new skills and looking forward to continue to expand and grow in my practice.
