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; organisational, educational and supportive

Organisation: This area holds the focus on professional development. The interventions are focused on the systemic level i.e. the practical skills needing to be developed, or improving the structure and organisation of the department. The primary focus is to train the organisation to self supervise.

Education: Developing personal skills that will support achieving set tasks i.e. 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. This area holds the focus on personal development.

Conflicts aren’t bad, they aren’t
good – they are inevitable.
Arnold Mindell

Conflict is about change. It is a ‘symptom’ of transformation that, when properly picked up and worked with, can lead to health and harmony. The conflicts that erupt in groups can be seen ultimately as a gift. They are the ‘fire’ or energy that mobilises us into action.

Disavowed conflicts can lead to outright war, low grade depression and create a lack of passion and enthusiasm in our place of work and in our lives in general. If we do not learn how to pick up and make use of the initial signs of potential conflict, situations will escalate into violence.

We offer a facilitated environment to support people to learn how to identify the first signs of conflict. Our aim is to help people to develop the skills to work with conflict while it is still manageable.

Having skills to navigate conflicts can make relationships exciting and empowering.
