Hi, and welcome to my new supervision series. I have written a series of blog posts discussing the important topic of supervision for your counselling work – whether you work for a company or in private practice, supervision is key for keeping you working to a high ethical standard and keeping your clients and yourself safe.

I find supervision is a vital part of counselling. It is “behind the scenes” sort of work, much like CPD (continuous professional development) and personal therapy for us counsellors.

Having said that, the work we do “behind the scenes” will be reflected on how we practice and carry out our counselling and/or supervision sessions with our clients.

This and more reasons are why I want to raise awareness of the work that goes on when the client leaves the room, and why this is so important for both the client, the counsellor themselves, and the profession in all its general and specific aspects.

My aim, therefore, will be to inform and share what I believe is important in Supervision, why I believe supervision is important, and how this impacts on everything a counsellor does in their practice and even in their life.
