Clinical Supervision
What is clinical supervision?
Clinical supervision, according to Milne (2007), is a professional relationship in which a supervisor, who is usually more experienced, focuses on supporting a practitioner within their client/patient work. The supervisor accomplishes this by incorporating instructional direction, performance feedback, and competency appraisal of the supervisee (White & Winstanley, 2021). An integral part of the supervisor’s role is to devote focus and development in the supervisees’ self-awareness, workload management, and wellbeing (Hawkins, 2020).
What is on offer
My counselling modality is Pluralistic with a Person-centred foundation, and my supervision style reflects this. As a pluralistic supervisor, the main focus is the development of our supervisory relationship and working collaboratively to ensure your needs as a supervisee are being met. I use techniques and interventions from a variety of modalities e.g. EMDR, CBT, Internal family systems, solution-focused, flash technique and Rewind therapy. My main specialist area is working with psychological trauma, however, I do work with a wide range of presenting problems and client groups. Therefore, I will bring into our supervision sessions a wide scope of perspectives of what a client may find useful at different stages of their therapeutic process.
I provide a caring, supportive, and non-judgmental environment to help you navigate your professional experiences and we will work together so you get what you need from our sessions. As a supervisor, I will offer you my honesty and respect while we explore issues you feel you would like to bring to supervision and will work on developing your own inner-supervisor so you are empowered to discover solutions to issues in a supportive environment. My model of Supervision is the 7-eyed model where, as your supervisor, I will be aware of each “eye” that can affect your practice. Although this is solely in my own awareness and you do not need to be aware of them, I have listed each of the eyes below:
-
Focus on the Client
-
Focus on Interventions
-
Focus on Client/Therapist Relationship
-
Focus on the Therapist’s Process
-
Focus on Therapist/Supervisor Relationship
-
Focus on Supervisor’s Process
-
Focus on the Wider Context
