Why Choose Talking Heads Supervision?
Expertise
Talking Heads is the most experienced provider of supervision in education settings. We are at the forefront of maintaining best practices, integrity, safety, and relationships within supervision in education.
We take our work very seriously. We don’t do packages or shortcuts. We provide regular, robust and long-term supervision. We have over 19 years of experience of supervision and are at the forefront of bringing supervision to education and, in particular, senior leaders in education. We work with a team of 50 Associate Supervisors who are all experienced supervisors, some with over 30 years of experience. Many of our Associate Supervisors are also Associates of Education Support and provide funded supervision to senior leaders in grant-maintained schools across, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. In the past four years we have collectively worked with around 4,000 senior leaders in education and Talking Heads has grown from one client in 2018 to over 400 clients in 2025.
Our supervisors are experienced professionals with a deep understanding of the education sector and children/young people. They bring a wealth of knowledge and practical experience to each session, ensuring you receive relevant and impactful support.
Commitment to Well-being
We are dedicated to promoting your wellbeing. Supervision will support your mental and emotional health, helping you to lead with confidence and resilience. We know how to support you through extreme circumstances that can arise and that often include complex safeguarding. Many of our supervisors have a therapeutic original training which can be utilised in sessions if trauma arises in your body and in response to issues you are dealing with. It also means we are clear of what other support we may need to sign post you to.
Confidential and Supportive
We prioritise confidentiality and create a safe space for open and honest discussions. Our supportive approach helps you to feel comfortable sharing your experiences and challenges. As an organisation we strongly believe that it is relationships that safeguard children/young people. If you don’t feel safe in your supervisory relationship you won’t come to supervision when it really matters. We want to safeguard children and help you do that too.
Customised Support
Our supervision services are tailored to meet individual needs. Whether you’re dealing with a specific issue or seeking general professional development, we provide personalised guidance and support.
