Professional Supervison
Supervision is provided for counselling students and professionals, and can occur in person or over telephone, zoom or Skype.
Individual Professional Supervision
We each learn best from our own experience. My main task as your supervisor is to facilitate that process by using the technique of reflective dialogue. Throughout your supervision reflection is the medium through which learning takes place.
The deepest form of learning used in supervision is transformational learning, which combines both personal and professional learning. In transformational learning, you will reflect critically not just on your experience, or on what happened, but on the way you have constructed your experience. With this liberating awareness, you create new mental maps, or meaning-making frameworks, that enable you to interpret your experience, learn from it, and go back to work with new insights and new behaviours. This is supervision at its best.
Team Supervison
Supervision of your team focuses on the case work and how it affects both team members and the relationship dynamic between team members. Team supervision is essential for functional team work, for ongoing pedagogical learning and constructive team building. You will be supervised in how to learn from one another, support each other, and reflect on team dynamics.
Team supervision is essential after a critical incident at work affecting one or more team members. Providing critical incident de-briefing in as timely way as possible will prevent additional stress or illness to team members down the track.
