CLINICAL SUPERVISION & Professional Supervision
Clinical supervision is the process whereby colleagues of a similar profession regularly engage in a prepared meeting for the intention of developing understanding, skills and a professional orientation, while concurrently focusing on enhancing client wellbeing. Such supervision has both a preventative and corrective function.
​
Professional supervision extends the clinical support to include building a sustainable practice. Professional supervision is best suited to pracitioners who work in private practice. Juggling the roles of empathic clinician and business operator can be a particularly difficult duality. Ensuring that you have the right support from a supervisor with expertise in the dynamic field of private practice is essential to minimise the risk of burn out and fatigue.

Charlie's Story
“I know that to be my best
I can't do it alone”
48 year old Charlie loved the sense of purpose that being a counsellor provided for her and she loved her job, but often found herself questioning her skills and abilities to be effective. They recognised the need to work alongside a professional with experience and compassion.
​
Charlie always had the goal to build their private practice but felt unsure where to start so she started the converstation and created a sustainable practice right from the beginning. Now she is thriving as a counsellor and business owner.
