What is supervision?

Supervision is a forum where you can review and reflect on your work in order to do it better. The ultimate aim of supervision is to enable you to provide a better service to your clients.

Talking about your casework (suitably anonymised to protect client confidentiality) enables you to reflect on your practice and is a form of experiential learning.

Supervision has many benefits

• It offers protection to your clients (by reviewing your cases)
• It offers you time and space to be reflective (providing insights for improvement)
• It helps you identify your strengths and areas that need improving
• It helps you learn from peers
• It alerts you to ethical and professional issues in your work

Why have supervision?:

• It’s a requirement of membership of most professional organisations and registration with the CNHC
• It helps you stay energised, enthused and focused
• Being a therapist can be a lonely occupation, and going to group supervision is a really sociable activity
• It’s enormously helpful and tremendous fun
