Avril Ferguson, Registered Psychotherapist & Registered Social Worker

Hi, I’m Avril!

I’m a dual college registered Registered Psychotherapist and Registered Social Worker, Canadian Certified Counsellor, and Ontario Validated Clinical Supervisor providing reflective, relational, and clinically grounded supervision for therapists across Ontario.

My approach blends warmth, honesty, and depth with strong attention to ethics, clinical formulation, documentation, risk assessment, and therapist development.

I specialize in clinical supervision, consultation, and therapist development. My clinical work includes trauma, perinatal mental health, women’s reproductive mental health, attachment, complex presentations, and therapist use of self. My approach is informed by psychodynamic and relational practice, as well as Internal Family Systems (IFS). I also teach in continuing education settings and support therapists at many stages of practice, from newer clinicians building confidence to experienced therapists navigating complex clinical and ethical work.

Supervisees often describe me as approachable, direct, thoughtful, and deeply invested in helping them grow into the kind of therapist they want to become. I believe good supervision should feel both supportive and challenging. A space where you can think out loud, explore uncertainty honestly, strengthen your clinical judgment, and develop confidence without fear of shame around what you do not yet know.

I offer individual, dyadic, group, and intensive supervision options for therapists seeking a collaborative and growth-oriented supervisory relationship.
