I have been a supervisor since 1972 and a psychotherapist since 1980.  I supervise individuals and groups and have run supervision trainings since 1979.  I mainly supervise face to face and also by telephone, email and Skype.

We spend much of our time in work and I believe along with Confucius "Find a job you love and you will never have to work again".  I think having supervision for our work, whatever it is, leads to finding the work we love or loving the work we do. I find supervision a wonderful forum in which to examine our core beliefs about ourselves and work and in doing so change our thinking not only about work but also about how we live.

I have written about supervision in the CSTD book, Supervision in the Helping Professions:  Hawkins, P. Shohet R; also in Passionate Supervision ed Shohet R.  chapter 5 The Supervisory Relationship: A Life long calling, and in Training and Supervision for Counselling in Action: ed Dryden W. Thorne B. The Key Issue in the Supervision of counsellors.
