My supervision approach and style can be described as…
Eclectic, much like my therapeutic work. I appreciate the advantages of using mixed models and techniques, tailoring my approach to fit the needs of each supervisee.
At the core of my supervision, I prioritize the relationship with my supervisee, aiming to create a space that is supportive, safe, fair, respectful, and flexible.
I adopt an educational and democratic approach, encouraging collaboration and mutual respect. In the short time frame we have for supervision, I’ve found that a combination of case consultation, role reversal, and role play works well to maximize our time and foster deeper learning.
