What is supervision for counsellors?

During the week we offer individual supervision, and twice a month we offer group supervision. Please book an appointment on our website. 

The Australian Counselling Association (cited in 2021) states that "it is a formal arrangement for registered counsellors to discuss their work with someone who is experienced in counselling and supervision on a regular basis."

Supervision is working with the supervisor of your choice and ensuring and developing the efficiency of the counsellor/client relationship. Professional and clinical supervision is a process to maintain adequate counselling standards and ensure the supervisee's good mental health. It is a contractual agreement made between a supervisor and a supervisor. Private or external supervision is usually a professional fee-paying service, or it can be part of the employment contract in an agency.

Counsellors must complete a certain amount of supervision annually as a component of their initial and ongoing annual registration with their registering body. Supervision for counsellors includes:

• Evaluation
• Education / Personal Development
• Self-care
• Administrative work
• Support, and there is a lot more.
