Our supervision programmes

Working with stories of domestic abuse can sometimes be challenging to therapists. It is very helpful to have supervision at these times with someone who understands the process of counselling and the experience of domestic abuse.

 

We focus on the individual experience of the counsellor in supervision as the response of a counsellor to events disclosed by clients is often related to their past. In supervision, we can explore what is going on in the room, with the client and with the counsellor to ensure that the client is being fully heard and understood in their disclosure.

​

This can be particularly powerful in group supervision where the shared experience, support and challenge from peers provides multiple perspectives on what has been brought to the group, increasing the learning and capacity of everyone.
