Choosing a supervisor
Supervision is a professional relationship, not a service you buy once. Most supervisors will want an initial conversation before either of you commits.
- Look for someone whose clinical experience overlaps the work you actually bring, and whose model you can work with — it need not match your own, and a different lens is often the point.
- Check what your professional body requires of you: frequency, hours, and whether group supervision counts towards them.
- If you are in training, confirm the supervisor is willing to complete whatever reports your course asks for before you begin.
