When I was training I had the benefit of having a supportive and non-judgemental Supervisor, who I then continued to use until their retirement. The most important part of my supervision was that I knew I could always be honest about my work and know that I would be guided, held and not judged. As a supervisor I too would like to offer that safe space to both trainee and qualified counsellors. Rather like Counselling, connecting with your supervisor, knowing they will challenge when necessary, but be supportive and caring too, is essential and that is what I offer as a Supervisor.
