Clinical Supervision
Original price was: £60.00.£50.00Current price is: £50.00.
A specialised form of professional mentoring provided for practitioners responsible for undertaking challenging work with people. Supervision is provided to ensure standards, enhance quality, advance learning, stimulate creativity, and support the sustainability and resilience of the work being undertaken (BACP, 2016b).
It is usually a formal but collaborative process that involves regular sessions; two or more people form a ‘supervisory alliance’ with shared objectives about how to work together constructively to provide a safe, ethical and competent service to clients. Usually, practitioners consult trained and experienced supervisors.
Good supervision is much more than case management. It includes working in depth on the relationship between practitioner and client in order to work towards desired outcomes and positive effects. This requires adequate levels of privacy, safety and containment for the supervisee to undertake this work. Therefore a substantial part or preferably all of supervision needs to be independent of line management.
I am trained to deliver Clinical Supervision in the Hawkins and Shohet 7-Eyed Model and I am currently offering supervision to counsellors and also to those working in supportive/pastoral care professions, especially within the education/health sectors. For counsellors, supervision is an essential professional requirement to ensure effective and ethical practice. Supervision can also help allied professionals to have a space to explore and reflect upon the impact of their work. As a Person-Centred supervisor, my aim would be to always offer the core conditions of empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard to ensure a supervisory relationship that is based on mutual respect, safety and trust.
