Support for Clinical Supervisors

Navigating the complexities of clinical supervision

Oversight isn’t solely important for those directly involved with clients, but is equally vital for supervisors themselves.

Supervisors play a crucial role in ensuring the welfare of both clients and front line workers.

Navigating power dynamics, overcoming communication barriers, and addressing personal biases are crucial for effective supervision. Balancing clinical responsibilities with supervisory and line management roles, managing time effectively, and navigating  burn out, vicarious trauma and moral injury add layers of complexity. Supervisors may struggle to find time for their own professional development, clinical reflection, case conceptualisation and wellbeing.

Lauren guides clinical supervisors, team leaders and managers through the unique challenges that come with their role and assists in navigating the complex dynamics of the client-front line worker-supervisor relationship.
