What is it?
It is a requirement of all professional counselling
associations such as the Australian Counselling
Association, Members receive supervision, in order to maintain their membership.
It is an essential developmental component in the life
of a counsellor whether they are new to the profession or
have been practicing for many years and have had
extensive training and gained professional qualifications.
Supervision is not a managerial task in this sense
but it is a way of both gaining insights in the way that
counsellors work with their clients and of ensuring that
their clients are getting the best possible therapy.
The process allows for discussing both the
developmental needs of the counsellor and of the
theraputic task whilst maintaining client confidentiality.
