Supervision

Working under supervision means that a counsellor or psychotherapist uses the services of another counsellor or psychotherapist to review their work with clients, their professional development, and often their personal development as well. Supervision is a professional service, rather than a managerial role, and for counsellors who work in institutions, supervision and management will normally be entirely separate. The supervisor acts not as a ‘boss’, but as a consultant.

Some counsellors also use group supervision, in which several therapists reflect on each other’s work, although ordinarily this is used in addition to individual supervision, rather than as a replacement.

We offer individual and group supervision.
