ABSTRACT

The supervision sessions are included to offer the reader insight into the nature of therapeutic supervision in the context of the counselling profession, a method of supervising that I term ‘collaborative review’. For many trainee counsellors, the use of supervision can be something of a mystery, and it is hoped that this book will go a long way to unravelling this. In the supervision sessions I seek to demon­ strate the application of the supervisory relationship. My intention is to show how supervision of the counsellor is very much a part of the therapeutic process enabling the counsellor to be authentically and empathically present whilst offer­ ing unconditional positive regard.
