Supervision or consultation is undertaken through the duration of our career as a mental health practitioner in order to deepen and extend skills and knowledge.

Consultation and supervision - Nature Based Therapies

Supervision is ...

……  time dedicated to building and refining your practice and professional identity in a supportive, non-judgemental relationship, through honest and open reflections on the challenges and joys of clinical practice. Specialist supervision plays an important role in bridging the gap between knowledge and application into your unique clinical context. We provide the assistance, encouragement and ongoing learning required to develop proficiency, as well as guidance through the potential challenges and opportunities when incorporating nature into therapeutic practice. Our focus in supervision is on both the application of nature-based interventions as well as navigating specific needs in complex presentations or specific client groups. Supervision services are provided for individuals, small groups or clinical teams.

Group Supervision

 

Group supervision is a facilitator led process designed specifically with the goals of the group in mind; it involves sharing skills, experience and knowledge, with the aim of improving therapeutic capacity for each group member. 

It can result in faster, more effective problem solving by drawing on the expertise of the group allowing for learning from diverse backgrounds and experiences of participating practitioners. Coming together as a group increases the sense of community and provides a safe environment to discuss professional limitations and challenges.

 And it is more cost effective!
