Supervision exists for two reasons:

  • to protect clients, and

  • to maximise the supervisee’s effectiveness (and also in their client work).

A working alliance between the supervisor and counsellor in which the counsellor can offer an account or recording of her work; reflect on it; receive feedback and, where appropriate, guidance. The object of this alliance is to enable the counsellor to gain in ethical competence, confidence, compassion and creativity in order to give her best possible service to the client – Inskipp & Proctor (2001)

Quality supervision can provide a safe space for the therapist and leader to step back and reflect on the therapeutic relationship with their client or staff.

For this to happen, we believe there needs to be a solid supervisory relationship in which the counsellor feels supported, safe, and able to take risks.

We support trainees, newly certified counsellors, helping professionals such as social workers, support workers, and community workers, as well as experienced practitioners.

Overall, at Soul Well, we believe supervision should be a stimulating and motivational process in which challenge and reflection are integral.
