My Approach to Supervision
As a supervisor, it is my role to ensure you feel supported and nourished, whilst also challenged and creative. I strongly believe that from lightness, can come depth of understanding.
I am open to working in many different ways, and actively encourage more creative ways of working, with natural objects, writing and play.
My experience as a lecturer has developed my capacity to make resources come to life, and embed them within the learning experience.
Supervision is all about finding a place to bring curiosity, issues and concerns, into a safe environment, and to leave feeling supported, enriched, resourced and restored. Key to this is developing your own reflective practice, based on the key tenets of the BACP ethical framework, and to build your confidence as a practitioner.
The framework of consultative supervision
In order to ensure you get the most out of your supervision sessions with me, I use a focused framework to help explore client material within the context of your personal well being, as well as wider social and cultural influences.
Client work is never looked at in a vacuum. Your support and continued presence and engagement with the work is of fundamental importance.
Page and Wosket's cyclical model
This is a beautifully simple method of ensuring restorative learning takes place. It's key elements are:
-
contracting how we are going to work together
-
Identifying the focus
-
Allowing space to explore
-
Bringing in a 'bridge' between learning and application
-
Reviewing if all needs have been met
The Seven Eyed Model
The seven eyed model helps the supervisee focus on more specific areas of interest, both within the client work, and with the supervisee's own experience of their work and their supervision.
The seven eyes are:
- the client
- strategies and interventions
- relationship between client and supervisee
- the supervisee's process
- the supervisory relationship
- the supervisor's process
- the wider context of the work.
