Supervision details
There are different definitions and focus on what supervision is and, what supervisors do particularly in the field of counselling and psychotherapy. What they all have in common is focus on protection, care and safety of all people. Generally supervision is a contractually agreement between practitioners for the purpose of supporting, evaluating and developing professional practice and safety. Supervision is a structured process for YOU, the practitioner to reflect on your practise. A supervisor maximises the practitioner’s performance through supervision. Central to the process of supervision is primarily the therapeutic relationship between client, counsellor and supervisor.What can you expect from this service?
