Supervision is a confidential working relationship between a Supervisor and Supervisee and is usually a requirement of the therapist's Professional Body.

Regular access to Supervision provides

support in professional practice.

The Supervisor can help the Supervisee to explore issues within their work with clients,

give guidance and support on ethical issues, identify any further training needs, focus on

best outcomes for clients etc.

The primary aim of Supervision is to protect the best interests of the client whilst providing the Supervisee with confidential and supportive 'space' to explore and evaluate their own working practice.

Newly qualified GHR Registrants are expected to engage in the beneficial process of Supervision for a minimum of 2 hours in any 3-month period during their first 2 years of practice. Thereafter, although ongoing Supervision is encouraged, it becomes a voluntary process. Registrants are advised to maintain a personal log of all such activity as they may be asked to provide suitable evidence of the previous 12 months supervision at the time of their annual re-registration.
