Private Practice
CLINICAL SUPERVISION
Professionals work with a range of clients from differing backgrounds with a complexity of issues and varying levels of capacity and motivation. This is coupled with a greater demand for paperwork, accountability, effectiveness and efficiency. All professionals have become increasingly aware of risks such as burn-out, and legal action related to malpractice. These issues are unfortunately an escalating phenomenon, particularly in the helping professions.
Clinical Supervision is a process whereby a practitioner regularly engages in a prepared meeting for the intention of developing understanding, skills and a professional orientation, while concurrently focusing on enhancing client well-being. Such supervision has both a preventative and remedial function.
The quality Clinical Supervision I provide challenges the practitioner to examine their professional decisions and explore issues in a structured way. To enable the aims of supervision to be realised and the full range of benefits to emerge, I employ a multitude of roles, namely: educator, evaluator, consultant, facilitator, counsellor and mentor. I provide regular supervision to Psychologists (and Probationary Psychologists), Counsellors, Social Workers, Employment Consultants, Nurses, Educators, Administrators, Ministers and Pastoral Carers. |
