Supervising the Counsellor: A Cyclical Model Book

This study offers a comprehensive, accessible model of counsellor supervision in the UK. It aims to meet the needs of the trained and experienced practitioner, as well as the supervision requirements of the student or trainee counsellor. Both authors have experience and training in supervision, and set out to explode the myth that an experienced counsellor necessarily makes a good supervisor, arguing that training and development are essential for effective supervision. Using examples from their own practice, Page and Wosket give a systematic account of counsellor supervision from its beginnings to its emergence as a sophisticated tool of professional development. Readers looking for a supervisor should find guidance on what to seek out and expect from competent supervision, while those about to move into or already engaging in supervision are supplied with a firm framework for organizing the supervision process.Read More
