Reflecting on the facilitation of supervision: A single-session case study.

Abstract

This case study, narrated in the voice of the first author, describes a supervision session she facilitated with an experienced counsellor. It provides a rare window into the single-session supervisory process in action, and is also an illustrative example of an integrative and process-oriented approach to supervision. Underpinned by a rationale based on both literature and the author's own values and experience as a supervisor, the case study includes an introduction to the supervisee, the first author's assessment of her needs, and the implications of these for her role in, and facilitation of, the session. The supervisory process is described, analysed, and evaluated, including the intrapersonal processes of both the supervisor and her supervisee. The case study concludes with reflections on the supervisory process and a critique of its effectiveness in meeting the supervisee's needs.
