Clinical Supervision

 

Working in the helping professions is hugely rewarding, and through regular supervision of your practice, you can access space for you to grow in your clinical skills and expertise.

 

In your work together with a clinical supervisor, there is an opportunity to explore your professional relationships with your patients, clients or service-users.  It’s also a way for you both to work with your process and move into some theoretical thinking to support your practice.

 

There are inevitably blind spots in your work as a clinical practitioner, and running into these can feel exposing and sometimes shaming.  Supervision is a way to be supported in exploring these and developing a safe, open, trusting and non-hierarchal relationship that encourages honest and ethical practice.

 

In the supervisory relationship, both you, your supervisor and your patient are bringing a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and personal and professional experience into a space that ultimately will help the person you are working with.
