The structure of supervision sessions can vary depending on the academic orientation of the Supervisor and the Supervisee, but they usually include:
- Work management (e.g., workload, objectives, planning, compulsory training, professional development).
- Discussion of clinical cases (including evaluation of interventions) and psychological processes (conscious and unconscious, such as transference and countertransference) that may be affecting the therapy process.
- Space for personal reflection, including mental and physical well-being in and outside the workplace.
- Consideration on how the supervisee’s personal circumstances may affect the therapeutic process and, if so, how those can be mitigated.
What types of clinical supervision are there?
There are several types of Supervision. These include:
- Individual – one to one space with supervisor
- Group or peer supervision – this can be facilitated by a supervisor or peer-led (no supervisor present); it allows participants to learn from each other’s experience
- Internal – Supervision is facilitated by a supervisor from within the organisation
- External – Supervision is facilitated by a supervisor from outside the organisation to offer an objective view of therapeutic processes
- Distant – remote Supervision conducted via telephone or video calls
