Supervision

 

"Out beyond ideas of wrong doing & right doing, there is a field. I'll meet you there" Rumi

 

I offer Consultative Supervision and have several years experience working in different settings, I work with individuals or with groups.

​

What is it?

Supervision is where we can stand back and use the time to reflect; in reflection we can then learn, discover and receive support. It is an important part of looking after yourself and this does not necessarily just have to be if you are a counsellor.
Supervision for me includes specific learning goals, an awareness of personal development and an integration of skills, knowledge and practice. It can be restorative, normative and educative.

​

How can it help?

In work we need to find time to ensure that self-development, self-awareness and self-care are present, not just within counselling. In counselling it is also important to offer a safe learning space to enable the counsellor to develop not only as a professional but also as a person. This will be a part of the process which promotes and safeguards the well-being of the client. However, no matter where we work, we need a learning environment to ensure professional and personal growth.

What happens?

I focus on an integrative relational model of Supervision, using Inskipp & Proctor’s 7-Eyed Model of Supervision. By this I mean that I focus on the co-creation of a relationship between myself and the supervisee and offer the opportunity to create a safe and trusting space aimed at facilitating their work with clients.
