Tool for clinicians 

The Countertransference Reflection Log supports practitioners to engage in ongoing self-reflection and ethical attunement in sexual health and trauma-focused work. It provides a structured process for exploring emotional, cognitive, somatic, and relational responses that arise in clinical practice - helping practitioners maintain clarity, compassion, and professional grounding.

Offering both brief and expanded formats, this tool can be used immediately after sessions or as a deeper reflective exercise in supervision or journaling. It encourages clinicians to:

• Recognise emotional and bodily cues as sources of information
• Reflect on thoughts, assumptions, and relational patterns
• Identify boundary needs and supervision themes
• Integrate awareness into ongoing practice and wellbeing

By fostering embodied self-awareness, this log strengthens ethical decision-making and supports more present, attuned therapeutic relationships.
