Individual Clinical Supervision

Clinical supervision is a formal meeting between two people in designated roles that aims to support clinicians in their reflective practice, exploration of case material, problem-solving, ethical issues, and skill development. It is a valuable tool to ensure safe, ethical, and competent clinical practice.

In a supervision session, the supervisee will discuss their work and learning needs with their supervisor. They will bring case material, ideas, concerns, and any difficulties to sessions as a basis for discussion. The session will focus on the supervisee’s professional development and may include exploring ethical dilemmas, reviewing case material, and receiving feedback on practice.

The frequency of supervision will depend on the needs of the supervisee and can be discussed at the first phone contact or during the first session. Generally, supervision sessions are scheduled weekly or fortnightly, but the frequency may be adjusted as needed.

Clinical supervision can help teachers increase their understanding of child development and cognitive, developmental, and mental health conditions that may impact children’s learning in the classroom. It provides an exploratory space where strategies can be provided that promote inclusivity of all children in the classroom and reduce difficult behaviors. Teachers can learn about new classroom strategies, classroom or environment presentation, and strategies to enhance teacher-child relationships.
