Supervisor and experience

I have always valued receiving supervision myself; and feel passionately about providing it for individuals (from different professions and who may have a variety of roles and responsibilities) or groups across the sectors. I have gained a lot of practical experience of delivering supervision over the past 30 years. I think supervision should be a creative, enjoyable experience for both supervisees and supervisors. I deliver training courses on supervision skills and edited the book Good Practice in Supervision: Statutory and Voluntary Organisations (London: Jessica Kingsley Publishers).

Supervision arrangements

• Supervision can be arranged for individuals, pairs, trios, peers, groups or teams.
• Supervision can be delivered face-to-face in my practice locations in Sheffield and Leeds or in a group/team’s workplace.
• Sessions can also be delivered online for individuals, pairs or trios if required.

What is provided

• A supervision contract is developed (and thereafter reviewed regularly) to meet the needs of the supervisee and to ensure that the four functions of supervision (i.e. management; education; support and mediation) will be covered in supervision sessions through using a variety of agreed formats and methods.
• Sessions take place on a regular basis (usually every 4-8 weeks) and will be for an agreed duration (e.g. 1, 1.5 or 2 hours).
• I take handwritten notes during a supervision session (which are kept and stored safely according to GDPR regulations) and then a written summary is typed up and agreed between myself and the supervisee before the next session.
• Appraisals take place either every 6 months or annually.
