Supervision
Being a Play Therapist is an amazing job. Training as a Play Therapist is extremely exciting, but it also takes a lot of commitment and endurance. Working with children and keeping them safe is a big responsibility. This is where having a good supervisor makes all the difference.
My role as Clinical Supervisor is to provide support and advice upon issues that arise during the therapist’s clinical work. These may be matters of therapeutic techniques, therapeutic relationships, difficult problems, ethical decisions or issues that impact personally upon the therapist caused by the therapeutic process.
It is important to be validated both as a person and a therapist. To plan and utilise the personal and professional resources of the supervisee and to give constructive positive and critical feedback is one of my responsibilities. I offer a space to reflect and clarify what is evoked by the work and explore our reactions to this experience.
