What is Counselling Supervision?

Counselling supervision is a professional process where a qualified and experienced counsellor or therapist provides guidance, support, and oversight to another counsellor or therapist in their clinical practice. The purpose of supervision is to ensure the ethical and competent delivery of counselling services and to promote the professional development of the supervisee. Through regular meetings, the supervisor helps the supervisee reflect on their clinical work, explore challenges and dilemmas, enhance therapeutic skills, and maintain ethical standards. Supervision offers a collaborative and educational environment where the supervisee can receive feedback, learn new techniques, gain self-awareness, and improve their effectiveness as a counsellor.
