The aim of supervision

• Clarification of roles, responsibilities and boundary issues
• Identification of professional strengths, weaknesses and training needs where appropriate:
• Assessment of supervisees’ clinical work and engagement with the supervision process
• Reporting to external authorities, such as training organisations or professional bodies.

The approach to Supervision

The supervisory relationship is seen as a common understanding of goals and tasks within a strong bond of mutual trust and respect.
• Sessions are facilitative, interactive and supportive, creating a safe environment for personal and professional disclosures
• Supervisees are encouraged to express emotions and to be reflective
• Sessions aim to provide a ‘space for thinking’, gaining of insight and creativity
• Supervisees’ worth, values and strengths are acknowledged and validated
• Supervisees are empowered by clear and constructive feedback
• Regular two-way feedback is encouraged and supervisory relationship issues are openly addressed
• Professional boundaries are adhered to
• Supervisees are encouraged to take an active role in sessions and increasing responsibility for their professional practice and professional development
• Sessions are structured according to supervisees’ development, presenting client issues and supervision stage
• Sessions are tailored to supervisees’ individual situations and needs, such as theoretical orientation, work context, learning style.
