Supervision
Supervision is a growing profession, used not only by psychotherapists and counsellors but also by other professionals who work with people. A trained supervisor has the expertise to work with both individuals and groups across the spectrum of vocations.
Existential supervision embraces duties, responsibilities and tasks with an emphasis on the relationship realms that lie at the heart of human existence. Existential supervision offers the chance to gain alternative perspectives and to explore the existential issues that arise. Supervision is a confidential and exceptional process that enhances the professional's awareness and enables them to work in a more open and reflective manner.
Individual & Group supervision/consultation
CEP has a number of supervisors who work from an existential perspective. We are available to provide supervision/consultation to groups and teams. Generally, these sessions are on a regular basis and allow a forum for reviewing practice, identifying and exploring successes and dealing with problem issues such as "stuck" cases.
If you would like more information on finding an individual supervisor, or are interested in discussing group supervision/consultation, contact alison@cep.net.au or phone 0431 401 659.

Supervision is a profession in its own right. To work as a supervisor requires learning specific skills that are additional to those used when working as a counsellor, coach or psychotherapist.
This course has evolved from in-depth research conducted by Dr Alison Strasser that has now become known as the Wheel of Supervision. Within this Wheel are found the universal themes that are present in all modes of supervision and which form the basis of this program.
This Supervision Training Course is designed for practitioners who are now ready to work as a supervisor or who wish to understand supervision from an existential perspective. Participants are encouraged to develop their personal model of supervision and thereby maximise best practice for themselves and their supervisees.
Part 1 can be taken as a course in its own right, however, it is recommended that participants follow through with the second part of the supervision training to gain a more in-depth understanding of their own practice.
Additionally, five 2-hour group supervision practice sessions will be offered following the program.
It is expected that all participants will have a minimum of 3 years experience as a practitioner in counselling, psychotherapy or coaching.

How to be a Group Supervisor
1-day workshop (Syd)
Friday 29 October 2010
PD Points: 6
With the trend in organisations and training institutes to provide ongoing support for staff, group supervision is seen as an alternative to individual. Supervising a group as opposed to the individual requires the supervisor to have knowledge and awareness of the underpinning principles of working with a group while maintaining ethical and professional boundaries. This workshop will provide supervisors with skills in working within a small supervisory group experience. The Wheel of Supervision will provide the underpinning theoretical model for this workshop while group work skills will be explored. Participants are encouraged to develop their personal model of supervision and thereby maximise best practice for themselves and their supervisees.
This workshop is designed for practitioners who are now ready to work as a supervisor or who wish to understand supervision from an existential perspective.
