Over the years, I’ve noticed that supervision rarely produces dramatic breakthroughs. More often, it produces subtle recalibration — a formulation softens, an assumption loosens, an emotional response becomes clearer. Occasionally it unsettles certainty. Sometimes it restores it. The question, for me, is not whether supervision was useful. It is what happens next.

Using reflective questioning within clinical supervision encourages counsellors to examine their own role and effectiveness.
