Non-Managerial and Consultative Supervision

Pressures within caring services and people professions such as Emergency Services, Healthcare, Nursing, Teaching, Social Services, HR, Safeguarding Services and Specialist Care Teams can be enormous.  The demands to maintain expertise, uphold safe practice & professional standards, undertake increased workloads (often with reducing resources) whilst demonstrating ongoing commitment, is very challenging. 

Supervision is a fundamental part of professional work. Most organisations will ensure that staff receive the management supervision they need to undertake their duties effectively, case manage appropriately, receive guidance and direction in their field of expertise and address training needs as required. These tools are incredibly beneficial for every member of staff and offers highly valuable resource.

How can Non-Managerial & Consultative Supervision help professionals?

Non-Managerial and Consultative Supervision can offer professionals the opportunity to receive confidential, impartial and non-judgemental, emotional support on the many challenges encountered in these occupations.  It can deliver an additional set of tools to those already provided within the organisation, aiding professional development and effective practice. 

With the increased awareness of the impact individual and collective emotional wellbeing has within the workplace, implementing additional support systems for staff members can improve mental health and increase engagement, performance, service delivery, staff retention and reduce risk of burnout.

Non-Managerial and Consultative Supervision combines support, coaching and mentoring within a safe and confidential space to be listened to and feel heard without judgement, to promote both professional and personal development.

This allows professionals to:-

• reflect upon the emotional challenges of their role
• share the holding of specific work being encountered
• understand reactions and any vulnerabilities to different situations
• process work undertaken and consider learning points
• explore any biases that could impact decisions, practices or relationships
• identify blind-spots and development needs
• maintain professional and ethical standards of proficiency
• reinforce importance of healthy boundaries and effective communication
• monitor and increase emotional resilience, well-being and self-care practices
• rediscover and develop inner-resource, existing talents and expertise
• reduce the risk of burnout, vicarious traumatic stress and compassion fatigue
• ideally remove the possibility of work-related mental health issues.

Supervision sessions can be arranged on a regular basis or perhaps when needed as a way of debrief if required.

If you would like to discuss the possibility of us working together, please contact me to arrange a consultation, thank you.

I found our supervision session to be of help with planning the next stages of my work. Sarah demonstrated great tracking skill and was aligned with my goals and what I needed from her.
