Reflective Model

• The reflective model of Supervision is the regular collaborative reflection between the supervisee’s use of their thoughts, feelings, and values that may be impacting on their practice. The supervisor builds on what the supervisee brings to the supervision session and their goals, by exploring the complexities that may be getting in the way within a service encounter, for the best outcome for the client. This internal process is characterised by the supervisee’s ability to reflect objectively on the counselling process in relation to the needs of clients in a collaborative and purposeful way.

Strengths Based Approach to Supervision

• Moves away from the deficit and problems to human systems interaction and where supervisee’s are encouraged to excel and grow based on what they do know and do well. Collaborative and strength building this approach builds competency in supervisee’s work with clients and stakeholders.

Solution Focussed Supervision

• Promotes owning responsibility rather than blame. By being highlighting success, exceptions and that the primary authority of success is the client not the professional. Solution Focussed Supervision also has the ability to focus on what works rather than what it means. This model of supervision is not rigid, nor “anything goes”.

Supervision is a growing ability to enhance the capability as professional practice develops. These models are multi-disciplinary.
