Placement is one of the most important parts of becoming a counsellor, and also one of the most demanding. Good supervision gives you a safe place to think about your clients, your own responses and your development.
Supervision is not about being checked up on. It is about working safely, reflecting honestly and becoming the counsellor you are training to be.
Good supervision does not tell you what to do. It helps you think more clearly about what you are already doing.

Why supervision matters so much on placement
Training is hard to do alone, and good supervision is part of safe, ethical practice.
You are learning while you work
Placement means putting theory into practice with real people. A supervisor helps you make sense of what happens in the room.
Your own responses matter
Clients can stir up feelings in the counsellor. Reflecting on these in a safe place helps you stay present and steady with clients.
Looking after yourself is part of the work
Holding other people's stories takes energy. Supervision gives you room to notice what you are carrying and keep going well.
