CLINICAL SUPERVISION
by Accredited Professionals
Clinical Supervision
The world of counselling is becoming more and more difficult as client expectations rise to sometimes unbelievable levels. This is where Clinical Supervision can be critical and an understanding and knowledgeable Clinical Supervisor can assist in the process of working through these issues.
If a counsellor doesn’t return a call immediately, the client can become irate and/or impatient. Understandably so, however the counsellor can’t be in two or three places at once. They have other clients, a life and most often, a family of their own. It can be a lonely job and counsellors often feel unheard and depleted. Having robust Clinical Supervision with a accredited professional allows for experienced nurturing, guidance and a knowing that support is always available is invaluable, in this ever changing world.
We offer the full package of Clinical Supervision to both counselling individuals and groups. Working in this way, allows us to offer telephone and video sessions. We provide the very best nurturing and supportive Clinical Supervision possible: supervisees receive a unique welcome handbook and access to download PDF information at a reduced cost.
Having been through accreditation processes personally, and having worked with many supervisees over the years, we have a good understanding of what is expected and how much effort is required. The whole application can seem daunting at first; addressing your questions and issues around the process in Clinical Supervision can be nurturing and empowering to assist you through it.
In the counselling world, Clinical Supervision is about a continuous and nurturing basis of direction, guidance and education.
All counsellors need to have a trusted and experienced Clinical Supervisor that they can go to for a myriad of professional and clinical issues.
This could be issues relating to;
- Supervision of current clients and caseload/case reviews, treatment planning and suitable interventions.
- Supervision of Continued Professional Development (CPD) skills and training.
- Supervision of supervisee’s self-development, self-reflection and self-care.
- Supervision of supervisee’s work balance for employment or private practice.
- Supervision of effective, ethical and legal services to clients, boundaries.
- Clinical Supervision overview of case notes that work for the counsellor.
- Supervision, safeguarding and safety of all clients.
- Overview and Clinical Supervision of potential court attendance and/or note submission.

Professional
Clinical Supervision
“Quality Clinical Supervision is a critical part of all talking therapies, support work and frontline connection.”
I specifically work in general with the seven eyed model of supervision:
- Supervisor focus on the client presented through the supervisee.
- Supervisor focus on intervention and treatments delivered.
- Supervisor focus on the immediate client – supervisee relationship.
- Supervisor focussing on the supervisee’s process, both presented and in the session.
- Supervisor focus on the counsellor – supervision relationship.
- Focus on my own process as a clinical supervisor.
- Supervisor focus on the wider context of what has been presented – overview and solution.
