All counsellors should have regular supervision to ensure they are providing clients with a safe, ethical, and competent service. I believe the supervisor/supervisee relationship should be warm, trusting, respectful, and include challenge. A supervisor should be able to guide and help the professional development of the less experienced counsellor, creating a culture of openness to facilitate this, whilst also being able to meet the professional needs of an experienced counsellor.

I believe I provide both. From my own experiences with supervisors over the years, I know the benefit of having a positive, safe relationship with my supervisor. It is invaluable. Unfortunately, I have experienced poor supervision too and use my experiences of this to ensure that I regularly check with my supervisees that they are getting what they want from Supervision and that the relationship between us is working as it should be.
