Supervision

Self-Reflection in Training, Supervision and Therapy:

Many professions require supervision to be mandatory for best and ethical practice. However, without the ability to self-reflect, supervision may not be very effective, and the ability to be creative and innovative becomes impaired.

Our training seeks to improve the ability to self-reflect, as an essential core skill that lies at the heart of supervision itself. Thus, being able to truly self-reflect from a more expanded and aware part of oneself is the foundation stone to any supervisory relationship.

Supervision may break down because many have not mastered this art of self-reflection, and the place from which they are reflecting on a problem may simply be the place of the same consciousness that created the problem in the first place. Learning how to truly self-reflect in order to gain a greater perspective and overview is the aim of this training, and facilitates the individual to also change and grow personally.

We offer supervision, case control and coaching to those in health care, business and education. Supervision can be done in different forms: individual, peer and groups. The main goal of supervision is to create a space where the supervisee can work with and receive feedback on both the content and the process of their work.

Supervision has three core functions: education, support, organizational review.

Education: Developing personal self-reflective skills that will support achieving set tasks such as relationship skills, working with hierarchy, rank, power, responsibility and accountability and dealing with conflicts.

Support: Creating the space where personal feelings, problems and stresses that may have been brought up by the working environment can be processed and supported.

Organisational review: The interventions are focused on the systemic level, including the practical skills needing to be developed, or improving the structure of the organization, including establishing a clear system of review and supervision. The primary focus is to train the organisation to self supervise.
