Supportive supervision is an essential ingredient in enhancing professional satisfaction and a requirement of most professional bodies. It provides a wonderful venue to learn from interactions between a client and the helping professional.
Bentley Family Therapy Centre practitioners offer professional supervision as a way for psychologists, psychotherapists, counsellors, doctors, nurses, social workers, and others of the helping professions to enhance effective outcomes, ensure the fullest therapeutic benefit for their clients, from the helping process, and promote best practice in a helper’s self care.
Our focus is on creating a "Holding" space for exploring the work and the impact on the worker in context of a bigger picture. We see supervision as a time for reviewing working models, providing space for counsellors to take a step back from the intensity of the session-by-session process, and an opportunity for promoting mutuality and collegial connections within the profession.
Supervision is provided for individuals and small groups by all practitioners. Please contact the individual practitioner of your choice for more information on what they offer.
Rosemary Watkins: Supervisor and trainer
Rosemary has a strong commitment to assisting therapists and other health professionals develop a ‘whole’ self approach to their work.
This commitment is reflected in her supervisory style. Her supervision style is to explore case-work and other supervision issues ( such as management/organizational/ethical issues) in context of the person of the supervisee. The supervisee’s work is explored in terms of content and process. Rosemary explores the ‘between’ aspects of the work with a focus on ‘process’ ‘not just content’ in turn facilitating an environment that promotes the growth of both the personal and professional identity of the therapist.
A large component of her role at William St . Family Therapy Centre is the provision of ‘Live’ supervision and training to the trainees. The students/trainees are qualified, experienced professionals with psychology, social work or counselling backgrounds and other areas of the helping professions ie medical or nursing practitioners. They work with couples and families who can access the service at low cost and the supervision includes the use of a two-way mirror and Reflecting Team approach.
