The Role of Supervision
Supervision is a formal process in which a qualified or trainee psychotherapist or psychotherapeutic counsellor regularly presents his or her client work to a designated or chosen supervisor as way of enhancing their practice through careful reflection on the process.
The arts play a powerful role in the creative process in the supervisory relationship. We combine creative expression to understand the process of therapy, intervention and support.
We gain a deeper understanding of the client and their process through images, as well as gaining a deeper understanding of the transference and the parallel processes that happen between supervisee and supervisor.
Creative supervision is similar to the therapy space we hold as clinicians. We aim to build strong foundations and therapeutic alliances where the supervisee feels comfortable and supported to explore the use of therapeutic techniques, therapeutic relationships, difficulties that may arise, ethical decisions and the impact this may be having on the therapist.
Shauna is beginning her training as a Creative Supervisor through Play Therapy United Kingdom (PTUK) and spaces will be available from July 2024.
