The awareness and consciousness of the need to take care of one’s Mental Health is growing fast. Counselling and Psychotherapy are therefore becoming much needed services.
Supervision Objective:
 The professionals providing these services have a highly sensitive role to play, in helping and guiding people in distress.Â
- Every case is unique, with each client’s problem having different roots.Â
- Understanding the problem and giving the most appropriate guidance is critical.
Established systems in psychotherapy, such as the one based on Transactional Analysis, therefore, insist upon ensuring quality supervision of the counsellor/therapist .
Supervision is a process by which the Supervisees discuss their problem or dilemma they are facing in their practice with the Supervisor. The Supervisor, in turn, provides a meta-perspective to the problem in hand , which enables the Supervisee to take the appropriate direction. Â Â
