1.2 Outline theories and models of professional supervision.
Supervision theories and practices began emerging as soon as counsellors started to train other counsellors (Bernard & Goodyear, 2009). Several different theoretical models have developed to clarify and support counselling supervision. The focus of early models of supervision had generally been based on counselling theories (such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Adlerian or client-centered), but these orientation-specific models have begun to be challenged as supervision has many characteristics that are different to counselling. Competency as a counsellor does not automatically translate into competency as a supervisor, and when supervisee/supervisor orientations differ, conflicts may arise (Falender & Safranske, 2004).

Supervision can support professional learning and development, it can also relate to gate keeping, monitoring, maintaining standards, and improving performance as part of effective clinical governance.

TA can be useful when having conversations with staff, but in particular when work with new staff or situations that seem difficult. TA techniques can help supervisors to listen and communicate more effectively and develop...
