Clinical Supervision
Choosing a Clinical Supervisor can often feel a little daunting and more often than not, we are required to find our own Supervisor to support our clinical work so choosing the right Clinical Supervisor is hugely important.
As professional and ethical Counsellors, we are all aware how important Clinical Supervision is to our clinical practice; it helps us to understand our own process with Clients, explore any challenges within clinical practice and also, helps us to remain resilient while working with Clients and adhering to the BACP Ethical Framework for Counselling Professions.
What to expect from Supervision
Using the 7 eyed-model (Hawkins & Shohet), my approach is to work in a normative, formative and restorative way; simply put, understanding your clinical work from an ethical viewpoint, educational input if appropriate and sharing of clinical interventions from experience and helping you to remain resilient and processing any challenges, or impacts from your clinical work or personal life.
My approach
I would describe this as working with a person-centred underpinning, with interventions such as Creative Therapies, Transactional Analysis, Psychodynamic approaches, Psychodrama, DBT and CBT – all where appropriate to support your clinical practice.
Commitment
I believe that Clinical Supervision is a commitment from both the Supervisor and Supervisee and my support is not only within the supervision session itself, but ongoing support outside of this time if needed. There are times when a concern appears within our clinical work and I am available to contact to support with this throughout the month.
