Why is Clinical Supervision important for Psychologists and other HealthCare professionals?

Clinical supervision is essential when offering psychological work with clients.

A supervisor aims to help the supervisee become more effective at helping people, to build competence and confidence as well as ensure that the client is not receiving sub standard therapy.

Psychological therapy has been shown to be effective.

Psychological therapy is powerful. It can do much good. Therefore it can be potentially harmful (when not used properly).

Supervision offers governance and facilitative functions; encouraging
theory–practice consolidation and balancing competency with curiosity.

Reviewing how clinal supervision progresses is highly advisable.

There are many dangers for both client and worker if there is no supervision in place for even the most experienced therapist.

All our Clinical Psychologists through this website are required to have appropriate clinical supervision systems in place. There are guidelines in place, including from the professional body. Client identifying features are not shared in supervision meetings.

Why do we offer consultation to psychologists and other helping professionals?

Clinical Supervision usually takes place within an agreed contract of regular meetings, with agreed goals, etc

Sometimes, you may wish to receive one-off consultation, in addition to meeting your usual clinical supervisor. The latter may not have specialist knowledge or experience of a particular client group, issue or approach.
