Supervision provides a safe place to stand back and reflect on yourself and your organisation’s expectations and demands.
It will help develop coping strategies – how to deal with work, life and society-related issues. It can enhance resilience concerning emotional well-being, and also provide an opportunity for debriefing difficult and critical incidents.
Supervision can help to prevent burnout, reduce stress levels, minimise compassion fatigue, and is a way of developing coping strategies. Research suggests the appropriate support aids in reducing anxiety and the management of high workloads, whilst also improving morale within the team and staff retention.

Individual clinical supervision typically refers to the practice of providing one-on-one guidance, oversight and support to a single person within an organisation. This is tailored to the specific needs and development goals of the individual, aiming to enhance their skills, decision-making abilities and overall professional growth. It often involves regular meetings or sessions where the supervisor provides feedback, advice and mentorship to help the supervisee improve their performance.
