11.10 Supervision
Supervision is an important area of therapist professional growth, along with theoretical and practical training in all its forms.
Meetings are held once every 2 weeks, online, on Wednesdays, from 18:00 to 20:00 Kyiv time.
This supervision is open to all students of the MIGIS Institute, starting with the 8th seminar of the Gestalt Therapist Training Program.
In this case, 110 hours or 90 hours (for programs that began before November 1, 2022) for level 2 certification must be obtained from their program supervisor.
The hours spent with other MIGIS group supervisors will also count towards the certificate, but in addition to the 110/90 required hours.

My life and professional experience, discoveries and mistakes, the ability to survive in uncertainty and powerlessness and find my own way out in difficult life situations, interest in people and meeting the special world of each of them and much more that I am filled with, allow me to work with children, teenagers, couples and families.
Supervision is a professional form of support and development for the therapist, during which they discuss their work with a more experienced colleague (a supervisor) in order to gain a deeper understanding of the processes taking place in interaction with clients.
“Supervision is like a mirror and a compass for the therapist.”
It helps to “check yourself” and notice what may remain outside of awareness in daily practice.
What does the therapist gain from supervision?
- Professional support
- The opportunity to discuss complex cases with a neutral and experienced specialist,
- Reduced doubts and anxiety about “whether I’m working correctly.”
2. Improvement of therapy quality
- Deeper analysis of therapeutic processes,
- New ideas, techniques, and interventions.
3. Development of self-reflection skills
- Awareness of one’s own reactions, emotions, and projections in work,
- Better understanding of professional boundaries.
4. Protection from burnout
- The ability to “unload” emotionally difficult moments without harming the client,
- Increased self-confidence as a specialist.
5. Ethical check
- Support for ethical standards (especially important in complex or borderline cases).
