Supervision-on-Supervision Group

Who helps you think about the supervision you give?

Supervisors give a lot of space for others to reflect and work through their practice. We listen carefully, offer our perspective when it is needed, and help supervisees find their way. We hold responsibility for our own work while supporting others with theirs, and we need opportunities to reflect on what that asks of us.

And our own supervision practice evolves over time, too. A relationship with a supervisee develops in an unexpected direction, something that used to feel straightforward becomes more complicated. We notice that we are responding differently to a familiar problem, or begin to question whether our usual approach is still useful. It helps - so much! - to have other experienced supervisors to think with.

This small online group is for supervisors who want to bring their work into conversation with peers.

Facilitated by Liana Busoli

I’m a counsellor, clinical supervisor and educator, and I founded The Counselling Supervision Centre because I believe practitioners need supervision that takes both their work and their wellbeing seriously.

My approach pays attention to what happens between supervisor and supervisee, including how we offer guidance, use our authority and support another practitioner’s judgement. Having experienced burnout, I am also interested in how we recognise when the work is becoming too much and what helps people remain able to do it well.

Reflective supervision for supervisors

Supervisors are often expected to provide clarity, support and professional judgement for others, while also holding the complexity of the work themselves.

A supervisee may bring questions about client risk, ethical uncertainty, therapeutic process, documentation, boundaries, workplace systems, confidence, shame, burnout or professional identity. The supervisor is then required to listen at several levels: to the client material, to the supervisee’s clinical thinking, to the supervisory relationship, and to the broader systems around the work.

Supervision-on-supervision supports supervisors to reflect on how they supervise, how they use authority, how they respond to uncertainty, how they manage difficult dynamics and how they continue developing their own supervisory judgement while maintaining their own wellbeing and capacity.

How the group works

I will bring a topic to begin each session, then follow the questions and experiences members bring into the discussion. My role is to facilitate a conversation in which we can take the work seriously, think beyond our first reactions and make use of the experience in the group.

I particularly enjoy this kind of work with supervisors. People come with their own knowledge and established ways of practising, so we can often get into the interesting questions quite quickly. There is room to be confident in what we know and open about what we are still learning.

Who is it for?

This group is for counsellors, psychotherapists and other practitioners who currently provide professional or clinical supervision. Members may supervise in private practice, organisations, education or community services. You do not need to work from a particular supervisory model.

It is likely to suit you if you enjoy learning with other experienced practitioners and want regular time to reflect on how you supervise, as well as the client work your supervisees bring.Why group supervision?

Supervisors often hold significant responsibility while having limited spaces to reflect on their own supervisory practice.

A small supervision-on-supervision group offers the benefit of collegial consultation, shared reflection and exposure to different supervisory perspectives. It provides a structured space to consider not only what is happening in the client work, but what is happening in the supervision itself.

The aim is to support ethical, reflective and relationally attuned supervision practice.
