Join us for a transformative conversation with Dr Kate Renshaw and Jenny Bowers about their groundbreaking collaboration that's reshaping how we support educators. What started as Wednesday afternoon Group Play Therapy sessions in a South Yorkshire school evolved into a powerful advocacy for educational supervision - something therapists have always had, but teachers desperately need.
Discover how creative, play-based approaches can unlock professional insights, why research shows teachers face higher burnout than ambulance workers and police, and how simple tools like sandtray miniatures and Play-Doh are revolutionizing professional support. Jenny shares her journey from deputy head to supervision specialist, while Kate explains the neuroscience behind why play matters for adult professionals, not just children.
If you've ever wondered why education lags behind other helping professions in supporting its workforce, or how creative supervision techniques can combat compassion fatigue, this episode offers both inspiration and practical solutions. Sometimes the most sophisticated answers lie in our most fundamental human capacity to play, connect, and support one another.
Perfect for educators, therapists, school leaders, and anyone interested in innovative approaches to professional wellbeing and supervision.
