What is Supervision?
Clinical supervision plays a vital role in the professional development and growth of counselling therapists. It provides a safe and supportive space for therapists to reflect on their practice, receive guidance, and enhance their skills.
Supervision involves a collaborative relationship between the therapist and a more experienced clinician, aimed at enhancing client care and ensuring ethical and competent practice.
During supervision, therapists have the opportunity to discuss their client cases, explore challenging situations, and gain insights from the perspective of their supervisor.
The supervisor offers valuable feedback, guidance, and alternative perspectives, helping the therapist navigate complex clinical issues. They also provide support in addressing personal reactions, managing counter-transference, and self-care, promoting the therapist's well-being.

The Supervision process
The importance of clinical supervision cannot be overstated. It serves as a crucial means of maintaining professional standards and ensuring ethical practice.
In our practice, we believe that clinical supervision for therapists is primarily a role of support and guidance. While some teaching is inevitable, we have an expectation that interns will have received their foundational education before commencing their internship. Our supervision focuses on supporting interns in the process of therapy for their clients, rather than teaching skills. It also facilitates self-reflection, fostering continuous learning and growth.
While you will continue to learn and develop your therapeutic skills during the internship, this will primarily be a function of your own professional development.
We aim to create a nurturing environment where interns can refine their therapeutic skills, explore their clinical experiences, and develop professionally. By emphasising process over content, we help interns build confidence and competence in their therapeutic practice, ensuring they are well-prepared to provide high-quality care to their clients.
Moreover, supervision provides a mechanism for accountability and quality assurance, ensuring that therapists adhere to ethical guidelines and best practices
