What is clinical supervision?

Supervision is a joint endeavour in which a practitioner with the help of a supervisor, attends to their clients, themselves as part of their client practitioner relationships and the wider systemic context, and by doing so improves the quality of their work, transforms their client work, transforms their client relationships, continuously develops themselves, their practice and the wider profession. (Hawkins and Shohet)

My supervision practice is based in Central London (4 Manchester Square, London W1U 3PD).

Seven Eyed Model

The supervision model I use is Seven Eyed Model of Supervision which was developed by Peter Hawkins and Robin Shohet for working with individuals, groups and organisations to provide clinical supervision.

The following modes are explored in working with the seven eyed model of clinical supervision:

• Mode 1 – Focus on the client and what and how they present
• Mode 2 – Exploration of the strategies and interventions used by the supervisee
• Mode 3 – Focusing on the relationship between the client and the supervisee
• Mode 4 – Focusing on the supervisee
• Mode 5 – Focusing on the supervisory relationship
• Mode 6 – The supervisor focusing on their own process
• Mode 7 – Focusing on the wider contexts in which the work happens
