Clinical supervision is the process of working with practising counsellors and psychotherapists in the management of their working practice. Typically this would cover: Reflection on client work, supporting therapists in their clinical practice, working with ethical and professional dilemmas, management of a private practice: ● Discuss client work, reflect and understand the process ● Develop strategies to move clients forward ● Become mutually aware of blind spots in the client work ● Attention to the self care of the therapist ● Reflection on the impact of clients issues ● Acknowledge and encourage the awareness of ethical dilemmas ● Support therapists in resolutions of these dilemmas ● Identification of professional development needs ● Support with the accreditation process ● Setting up, marketing and managing a private practice

I also work as a consultative supervisor. Here the work is about working with professionals in a range of disciplines and work sectors. These would typically be front line health and social care workers, emergency services management and administration, medical professionals, mental health professionals, senior educators. • Provide emotional and practical support from an external source • This suport is independent of internal operational influences. • It will about providing a safe place to explore difficulties • Interactions with senior management, clients and service users. • Managing unreasonable expectations, grey areas in procedures and job specifications. • Specifically, talking together to explore and determine realistic outcomes in the workplace • Setting goals and plans to achieve these goals
