I believe that Supervision is a collaborative process of support and learning. It is a protected time and space for the supervisee (practitioner) to reflect on their practice, develop their competence, skills, knowledge, and creativity within the supervisory relationship (alliance), enabling them to provide a safe and ethical service to clients, whist continuously developing themselves and their practice.

The purpose of supervision is to help and support the supervisee to:

• monitor the needs of their clients
• monitor and improve the effectiveness (quality) of their work
• reflect on their work, in order to develop their knowledge, skills and competence
• maintain ethical and professional standards

As well as to provide support and restoration to help the supervisee:

• manage the psychological impact of their work on their own well-being
• deal with a personal crisis that may be impacting on their work
• develop effective self-care strategies and build resilience.

My approach and style

My approach is primarily relational, which offers respect for you and your client group, a safe space to cry, laugh, get angry and rejuvenate, as a normal response to the emotional stresses of working with people in difficult situations, and congruence to supportively challenge that practice where necessary. I also believe that supervision needs to be normative, informative and restorative, and work mainly with the seven eyed and the cyclical models of supervision.
