Supervision with Soul: Reframing the Way We Support OTs

What if supervision wasn’t just about ticking boxes—but about growth, confidence, and coming back to yourself?

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by UK-based OT Supervisor Lynsay McFarlane-Shaw, who shares her 30-year journey from NHS clinician to independent OT and supervisor. We dive deep into the evolving role of supervision, how to de-NHS yourself (yes, that’s a thing!), and why prioritising your own well-being isn’t selfish—it’s essential.

Expect real talk on:

The hidden emotional load of allied health work
Breaking free from productivity culture
Building supervision relationships that actually support you
Why reflecting on wins (not just challenges) changes everything
How to show up confidently without the ‘professional mask’

Whether you supervise others, are being supervised, or just want to rethink how you show up in your OT world—this one’s for you.

🎁 Lynsay also shared a special freebie for your supervision journey:
