For most of us, supervision is a stimulating, enjoyable and rewarding part of our professional role. However at times most of us have encountered impasses which challenge our practice. Often supervisors struggle with these despite having considerable clinical experience. Difficulties may include ethical concerns about a supervisee’s practice, a conflict between ethical principles, the challenge of balancing a supportive role with the use of authority or with formal appraisal of the supervisee’s abilities. Some situations can result in a rupture in the supervisory relationship.

The aim of this new workshop is to help participants to develop their competence and confidence in building and maintaining a constructive supervisory alliance while also addressing difficult issues in supervision. It will use a CAT perspective to understand the pressures and pulls within the supervisory relationship.  It incorporates research evidence on effective supervision methods.

Debby Pickvance and Glenys Parry are experienced CAT supervisors who have first-hand knowledge of these types of difficulties and ways to overcome them.  The day will provide an opportunity for you to explore challenging aspects of your own practice, to learn new skills and to leave with supervisory support tools for improving the quality and effectiveness of your supervision.  Learning will be fostered through a range of methods, including

  • presentations with up to date research findings about  the supervisory alliance and threats to it
  • useful handouts and practical tools
  • personal exploration and problem-solving in a confidential and  supportive environment
  •  watching enacted demonstrations of typical difficulties
  • psychodrama methods in small group work.

The workshop is for CAT Supervisors, Trainee CAT Supervisors and CAT Practitioners who supervise professional trainees within their clinical role.
