What is clinical supervision?

Clinical supervision is a formal space provided for therapists to meet with a qualified supervisor to to talk about, reflect on and explore their work, as well as their on-going professional development. Today, supervision is an integral part of counselling both, during training and throughout the professional career of a counsellor. The primary purpose of supervision is to protect the best interests of the client (Hawkins and Shohet 1987). It is a requirement for most of the accreditation bodies representing counsellors and psychotherapists. Please see the requirement for the Irish Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (IACP).
