My approach to supervision

Informal style approach to allow comfortable and relax to connect with me. To ensure supervisee feel safe to share some of their concerns. To allow time and space for self-reflection which helps to determine matter of concerns.
My value as a supervisor is to be able to help supervisee able to gain confidence in their practice, consolidate their knowledge and skills. Most importantly to assist supervisees to identify their weakness and strength, which allows clinician to become more self-aware while delivering treatment for clients.
