Supervision
|
Supervision provides people with a safe, confidential, supportive (and, when appropriate, challenging) relationship in which they can think/talk about their work and wellbeing with a non-judgemental sounding board. The aim is to help people to feel a sense of connection and collaboration, an experience of feeling ‘held’, while supporting them to find e.g. clarity, direction, focus, or enhanced resilience & wellbeing. Sometimes it is simply by giving people a non-judgemental space to offload that enables them to feel valued and validated.
Supervision can be provided for professionals at any level of an organization, individuals who may wish to regularly reflect on their practice, individuals seeking specialist support in a specific skill area (e.g. supervision in relation to the development of coaching skills). |
Aspen Psychology Services Supervisors
APS Supervisors are HCPC Registered Practitioner Psychologists who are capable of supporting people with matters related to practice and wellbeing. We draw upon our professional knowledge and skills, as well as our experience of providing a range of helping relationships (e.g. consultation, coaching, supervision).
Depending on the role of the person we are working with, we may also bring particular experience or knowledge of specific working methods or e.g. professional standards or frameworks, and this knowledge/experience can be drawn upon to inform the conversation. This may not be the case to the same degree in a coaching engagement.
In circumstances where an individual’s needs are such that their issues may be more suited to another form of support, we may be able to make suggestions to signpost other support services.
