Professional Supervision

A confidential, structured space and time for you to regularly reflect on your work practice with a qualified, experienced, and skilled listener

Professional Supervision

Many people working in the church or other helping professions find that there is not enough time to stop, reflect and refine what they are doing, how they are doing it and how it is impacting everyone involved, including themselves.

What supervision looks like

Professional supervision provides a confidential, structured space and time to regularly reflect on your work practice with a qualified and experienced collaborative listener - your supervisor. For you, the supervisee, this relational and collaborative process facilitates your ethical and professional practice.

It has been said* that supervision happens at the intersection of a person’s soul, role, and context. The supervision session becomes the key supportive place to connect, reflect, and allow new insights to form and shape new responses within your ongoing practice.
