What is SUPERVISION?

The purpose and function of supervision is that it is a space to be used by the supervisee to reflect on all aspects of clinical work and receive formal and informal feedback on that work. This includes help identifying areas for continuing professional development and exploring ethical considerations where the welfare of the client is concerned. Supervision is an essential element to the practice of counselling and psychotherapy. It is also incredibly helpful for anyone working in a caring profession.

I offer a free one-hour consultation to provide you with the opportunity to decide if you would be comfortable working with me. During this appointment I will explain aspects of supervision and ask you questions about what you wish to achieve through attending supervision and the requirements of your organisation. At the end of the session we will make a decision about how we would like to proceed.
