Frequently asked Questions
What is supervision, and why is it needed?

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?

  1. 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).
