Feminist Supervision Is for Everybody - Micro Course 3 - June 2026

Feminist Supervision is for Everybody Post Graduate Course

(45h Continuing Education Credits)

Clinical Supervision for a Humane and Sustainable Future

Welcome to a series of three micro-courses in feminist clinical supervision instructed by feminist therapist and supervisor Jennifer Hollinshead, MA, RCC-ACS, CCC-S. Inspiration for the title is from bell hooks’ Feminism is for everybody - an accessible explanation of intersectional feminism... for clients, clinicians, supervisors and educators in the psychotherapy field.

Completing all three micro-courses (45 h of instruction including direct observation) results in a certificate in Advanced Clinical Supervision.

This course is approved by the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors and the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.

Each 15-hour micro-course instills an evidence-based, feminist supervision framework that creates deeper, safer therapeutic and supervisory relationships.

Feminist therapy and supervision goes beyond ethical, effective and evidence-based mental health care. We often heal and liberate clients, counsellors, supervisors and our communities.

Not familiar with feminist therapy theory? You can start learning with the article “if it’s not feminist, it’s not therapy (or supervision)”.

Meet your instructor:

Jennifer Hollinshead (they/them) instructs each course, using examples from various mental health settings to break down clinical supervision and consultation in practical, readily applicable ways. Jennifer started their counselling career in 2006 as a midnight-shift relief worker in a shelter for women and children fleeing domestic violence. Since then, she has become passionate (obsessive?) in helping people recover from sexual trauma, intergenerational trauma, childhood abuse and complex PTSD so they can continue to resist pathological systems like patriarchy, white supremacy, colonialism and exploitative capitalism.

Jennifer pulls from evidence-based therapies (including ACT, AEDP, CBT, DBT, EMDR) while using feminist therapy theory to empower even the most acute, complex clients. They are creative and curious in their supervision work, with the audacious goal of leaving this world more feminist than when they entered.

Jennifer has extensive clinical supervision training from the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association, Dr. Laura Brown, Janet White and Vikki Reynolds(ongoing).

She founded a feminist, alternative practice called Peak Resilience in 2015 and has been providing clinical supervision (and supervision of supervision) to student counsellors and experienced practitioners looking to thrive in the mental health field while transforming it to be less oppressive.

MICRO COURSE 3 - only available for attendees of Micro Course 1 and 2.

Shaping an Ethical Future for All: Advanced Feminist Clinical Supervision

This 15 mini-hour course requires a certificate in Feminist Supervision 101 and Moving Beyond Fundamentals in Feminist Supervision as prerequisites to attend. In Advanced Feminist Clinical Supervision, we build upon the relational, theoretical and contractual understanding of supervision to achieve the following learning outcomes:

• Demonstrate an intersectional feminist understanding of the ethical, legal, advocacy and gatekeeping responsibilities of clinical supervisors
• Address conflict within the supervisory relationship from an intersectional feminist lens using consent, collaboration and documentation
• Identify inconsistencies with Standards of Care requirements, codes of ethics and anti-oppressive practices to reduce harm to vulnerable populations
• Understanding our relative “risk” as clinical supervisors and where we can challenge oppressive legal procedures to benefit our clients, the mental health field and our world as a whole
