Supervision

 How I Work

At its best, Supervision can be an oasis of contemplation and creativity where you can reconnect with your guiding values, theory, wisdom and strengths and emerge refreshed with new ideas and insights to take back to your work. However, many practitioners have experienced supervision that is not like this. This may be because it has lacked one or more of the following pre-requisites for effective and enjoyable supervision: Safety, Structure and Creativity.

Safety

It is vital to create a supervision space in which supervisees feel safe to share doubts, difficulties and successes in relation to their work. This is achieved through clear contracting; a non-judgemental attitude in which "mistakes" are seen as opportunities for development, and the maintenance of a respectful, collaborative supervisory relationship.

Structure

By providing a structure for each supervision session, and informed by the 7 Eyed Model of Supervision, I can help you to identify and focus on what really needs attending to. The reflective space forms the largest part of the session, and this is where exploration of your supervision issues can take place in depth. Time is allocated to review the session and what the supervisee may take from the session back to their practice.

Creativity

I offer a range of creative supervision tools to help the exploration of hidden processes that may be impacting on the work (for example in the counsellor-client relationship). I also employ visual tools to help explore ethical issues in the client work.

For me Supervision is....
