Level 6 – Clinical Supervision

“Supervision gives us a chance to stand back and reflect; a chance to avoid the easy ways out of blaming others – clients, peers, the organisation, society or even oneself; and it can give us a chance to engage in the search for new options, to discover the learning that often emerges from the most difficult situations, and to get support”
