Group supervision provides different possibilities for learning to individual supervision. As with any group, it can provide normalising and validation of your experiences as therapist. Through hearing others' experiences, challenges and wins in the work, and sharing processes for expanding your awareness, your practice goals, self awareness and learning can be greatly amplified.
Successful groups are built on a foundation of trust, and to this goal we will incorporate agreements about confidentiality, non-judgemental reflection, authentic communication, self-responsibility and transparency.
Once safety and trust are established, your development within the group will be supported by processes including narrative reflective practices like ‘outsider witnessing’, storytelling, art therapy tools, dream and individual/archetypal symbol exploration and physical embodiment/ movement processes.
In group supervision settings, every individual benefits by engaging with, and reflecting upon, their own practice, no matter whose client/experience is being explored directly. Through group supervision, we can recognise themes in the work, our practice and identity as therapists, and benefit from the growth and learning of others.
Please contact me if you would like to join a clinical supervision group, or have a group of colleagues and would like me to facilitate supervision sessions for you.
