Counselling Supervision Sessions
During a supervision session, client files including session notes and treatment plans are reviewed. The session will consist of one or more of the following:
- Review of client session tapes and/or progress notes,
- Discussion of sessions,
- Instruction,
- Modeling,
- Mutual problem solving, and
- Role-playing
Individual one-hour sessions are scheduled as needed. It’s recommended that this be a minimum of once a month to create consistency and build on each month’s experience.
