Clinical Supervision Solutions
Flexible, expert clinical supervision for mental health professionals and servicesOnline clinical supervision delivered by experienced supervisors to support practitioners and services across NHS, local authority, third sector and charitable settings. Providing reliable capacity for teams and flexible 1:1 support for individuals, CSS offers a scalable, high-quality supervision service that strengthens practice, builds confidence and sustains professional wellbeing.
About the service
Clinical Supervision Solutions (CSS) is a service offered by Associate Development Solutions (ADS), who have decades of children and young people’s mental health expertise with over 100 public, independent and voluntary sector organisations, including The Department of Health, NHS England, NHS Trusts, local authorities, Mind, Rethink; Time to Change and YoungMinds.
Dedicated to providing high-quality, consistent clinical supervision since 2020, our team of supervisors has provided more than 2000 hours of supervision to over 125 supervisees working for NHS, third sector, local authority and charitable organisations. We offer a flexible, scalable supervision solution for services that need dependable capacity, and 1:1 supervision for individual practitioners seeking tailored, high-quality support.
This supervision has meant the team have been able to continue to provide a much-needed quality service to CYP. It has been greatly received by practitioners who were initially concerned about having supervision from an external provider.
As service managers, having purchased this supervision has meant that we have been able to offer consistency to the team in support of registration requirements. They have also had the opportunity to strengthen their understanding and fidelity to the CBT model.
Who this is for
CSS supports both services and individual clinicians, including:
Qualified or trainee CBT therapists
Qualified or trainee Education Mental Health Practitioners (EMHPs)
Qualified or trainee Children’s Wellbeing Practitioners (CWPs)
Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners (PWPs)
Nurses, Social Workers and Occupational Therapists
Supervisors seeking supervision of supervision
Senior clinicians and team leads seeking reflective spaces
NHS services, third sector, local authority and charitable organisations looking to expand or stabilise supervision capacity
Whether you are a practitioner working with children, young people, adults or all-age services, or a service supporting a diverse multi-disciplinary team, CSS connects you with supervisors who understand your context and model of practice.
Having supervision from external supervisors has meant that people can focus on clinical case discussion more intently than perhaps when having the same in-service manager as supervisor.
The communication with the team and ADS has been excellent and they have responded to concerns and queries. This has also meant that we have secured supervision for a longer period which supports us to manage vacancies across the team.

What our supervisees say...
Evidence of quality
We invite every supervisee to rate their session with the Leeds Alliance Supervision Scale (LASS) – and the results speak for themselves.
From 685 completed ratings, the overwhelming majority reported their supervision as focused, genuinely helpful, and built on strong mutual understanding.
The charts show how supervisees rated the service on a 0–10 scale, where higher is better. Most ratings are at the top end across all three measures (click each image to enlarge).
