Clare Slaney
"It seems that whatever approach or method is used, in the end it is the quality of the relationship between supervisor and counsellor that determines whether supervision is effective or not . . . There needs to be a degree of warmth, trust, genuineness and respect between them in order to create a safe enough environment for supervision to take place."
(Hunt 1998)
All my supervisors and supervisees have taught me one essential thing: that a commitment to authenticity is vital. Supervision can be rich and enjoyable at the same time as being challenging; it’s in those moments of discomfort that we discover most about the relationship between the client and ourselves.
I don't counsel your clients by proxy: my focus is on how you feel and what you might be experiencing when you're with individual clients.
Feeling secure enough to explore the difficult stuff - in the relationship between client and supervisee and in the relationship between you and me - requires confidence and respect from both of us. Annual reviews are part of my commitment to the Ethical Framework.
I offer reduced fees for students. Groups are limited to 3 supervisees.
