Supervision is a vital part of our work as therapists. It’s often the only space where we can speak openly about our practice, held within a trusted and supportive relationship.

The supervision space provides room to reflect deeply — on our clients and their ‘being in the world’, in relation to the physical, social, personal, and spiritual dimensions of human existence. We can think about how we work: how we form and hold the therapeutic relationship, how we make decisions around interventions, how we navigate the unfolding process of therapy over time.

We can explore beginnings and endings, contracting and re-contracting, and how to remain grounded when uncertainty, challenge, or doubt arise. We can bring our mistakes, our questions, and our internal responses — to seek greater clarity and deeper understanding of our work and of ourselves as therapists.

There are times in every therapist’s journey when we struggle, question, or feel unsettled. The right supervisory relationship can offer steadiness, perspective, and a place to think things through — including how to handle difficult, awkward, or ethically complex situations. With the support of a thoughtful supervisor, we become more resourced and resilient in our work.
