Experimenting with videoing in counselling and supervision.

Abstract

This article describes the development and testing, in a counselling relationship, of video recording as a tool that was originally used by a counsellor in a supervision relationship. The aim of this practice-based research was to improve the quality of the client's experience of counselling through developing greater transparency by using the video recording as a tool in the supervisor-- counsellor--client relationship. The research process, including analysis of the data, employed a structured method known as a "one pager." Risks and benefits of using video recording as a tool in counselling and supervisory relationships are identified. The implications of undertaking research in a private practice setting are also considered. The article concludes that video recording can be an effective tool for improving the quality of the counselling experience for all parties.
