Clinical supervision is a working alliance between supervisor and supervisee to support your professional growth. The principle aims of clinical supervision can be summarized as follows:

• to enhance supervisees’ skills, confidence, and competence

• to provide a reflective space and emotional support

• to provide assistance with professional development

• to ensure that services to clients is safe, ethical, and competent

• to ensure compliance with professional and organizational treatment standards and practices

Clinical supervision is a guided reflection of a supervisee’s clinical work, which is reviewed and reflected upon with the aim of: improving the supervisee’s work with clients; ensuring client welfare; supporting the supervisee in relation to their work, and supporting the supervisee’s professional development.

Clinical supervision is a collaborative process wherein supervisees take an active role in:

• choosing what aspect of their practice to focus on and explore

• determining how the supervisor-supervisee dyad works together

• offering feedback about the experience of the supervisory process and the relationship

• developing and being accountable to their own professional standards
