Supervision Services

Supervision is an essential requirement for learning and professional development, particularly where services are being offered to individuals or groups of individuals. The process of supervision aims to ensure safe and ethical practice. Psychologists have always recognised the importance of good quality supervision to aide their practice and have been at the forefront of developing models of supervision that fit well within different professional contexts. Professional groups that are likely to benefit from high quality supervision are:

• Other psychologists
• Counsellors
• Psychotherapists
• Case Managers
• Nurses
• Social Workers
• Children’s Guardians
• Staff within Special Schools
• Residential and community staff caring for individuals with complex needs

At Psychology Associates we have a large number of psychologists who are experts within the fields of Child and Family, Neuropsychology, Forensic Clinical Psychology, Adult and Learning Disabilities who would be available to offer supervision services. The psychologists working with Psychology Associates are required to maintain good levels of professional development in their own right and are therefore well placed to support other groups of professionals with ensuring their practice is thoughtful, safe and ethical.

We would be interested in designing specific supervision services to meet your needs depending on the context within which you work. Some of the types of supervision services that could be delivered include:

• Case specific supervision on a highly complex case to one professional
• Case specific supervision to a group of individuals, for example, a residential unit
• Ongoing individual supervision for professionals within an organisation
• Group supervision for professionals within an organisation
• Therapeutically orientated supervision - for example, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or Attachment models
• Training on supervision and how it can be incorporated into your organisation

If you are interested in learning more about the supervision services that Psychology Associates have to offer, then contact the Clinical Administration Team who will then identify a senior psychologist within the practice to contact you and discuss your supervision needs.
