What is Supervision?
Supervision is a joint endeavour in which a practitioner (you) with the help of an independent and professional clinical supervisor (me) attends to your clients and yourself as part of your client practitioner relationships, and within the wider systemic context, and by so doing improves the quality of your work, transforms your client relationships, helps to continuously develop yourself, your practice, ethically and safely.
How I work:
I work very creatively whilst using blended theoretical and dramatic techniques including; role-play; movement; voice work; poetry; myth; storytelling and story-making; puppetry and mask-work; mindfulness, music and art at times and, where appropriate, throughout the supervision process.
I also work, very closely, with the 7 Modes of Clinical Supervision framework developed by Peter Hawkins and Robin Shoet and taught on my Creative Arts Supervision Training (C.AS.T.) training at the Royal Central School of Speech & Drama. It is a process-orientated approach combining relational and systemic qualities of clinical supervision.
This theoretical and practical framework also focuses on the client/s that you bring to supervision, along with the exploration on the relationship between you and your client/s, your methodology; approaches; strategies and interventions used; exploration of the therapeutic process and relationships; the relationship between you and me, and the context of the work within the wider system.
I also work with Moore’s 2008: Process framework for learning in supervision.
Assisting both myself as Supervisor and you - the Supervisee on how we can best notice, articulate and use emotions as instruments of learning, and helping you to manage your emotions effectively, whilst exploring the stages involved in facilitating learning from experience.
My practice also draws on current supervision and therapy literature and research, and we will also regularly address cultural, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic, power, ethical, safeguarding and legal issues. All of this will be done within a safe, friendly, creative, explorative and non-judgemental space.
Finally, I combine person-centred, psychodynamic, humanistic and theatre models within my work.
