My role as the clinician is quite important. The primary task is to engage the client in identifying cognitive errors, refuting them, and replacing them with more adaptive thoughts. A sound therapeutic relationship is necessary for effective therapy, but not the focus of the therapy. Many forms of other counseling believe that the main reason people get better in therapy is because of the positive relationship between the therapist and client. Cognitive-behavioral therapists believe it is important to have a good, trusting relationship, but I know that is not nearly enough. We believe that the clients change because they learn how to think differently and they act on that learning. Therefore, CBT tries and focuses on teaching rational self-counseling skills. CBT is the teamwork that exists between the therapist and the client. This form of therapy is used to seek ways of learning what their clients want out of life and then helping their clients achieve those goals. The therapist's role is to listen, teach, and encourage, while the client's roles is to express concerns, learn, and implement that learning (Pucci1).

My supervision is always held in a confidential setting, between myself and my Manager. My Manager records details of what has been discussed, targets identified, and achievement target dates to be met by me and my Manager. This is my personal development plan, and helps me to record training received, training identified, and knowledge gained. My supervision is my opportunity to discuss issues I am concerned about. Sometimes prior to my supervision, I write down notes on issues I want to raise, so that I do not forget whilst in my supervision.

The key principle of supervision is for the worker to be able to carry out their job role as effectively as possible. Enhancing their understanding of their own practise.

Reporting of Injuries,Diseases and dangerous occurrences regulations of 1995 requires the reporting of work-related accidents, diseases and dangerous occurrences. The Act applies to all work related activities, but not to all work related incidents. The objective of the regulations is to enable the enforcing authorities to identify where and how risks arise and to investigate serious accidents so as to prevent them from occurring in the future and thus providing a safer work environment. The enforcing authorities can then help and advise you on preventive action to reduce injury, ill health and accidental loss,the main points of our own policy that relate to this are:

|Supervisors all have personal habits which lean towards some of the roles or focus's must choose the interaction required for the supervisees learning|

Rebekah utilized the “sink or swim” approach to supervision, which particularly emphasizes the process of challenging the counselor-in-training. She described her philosophy of supervision as experiential. In other words, counselors-in-training learn best by jumping in, experiencing the role of a counselor, and learning as they go. Furthermore, it is important to have confidence in the abilities and skills of the counselor-in-training, as well as, trusting in their ability to be responsible for their actions. She monitors

Supervision is a process in which a worker is given responsibility to work with another to meet organisation, professional activites. The objectives are competent, accountable performance, continuing professional development and personal support. The purpose of professional supervision gives the opportunity for employer and worker to come together to reflect on work practise and reflect and evaluate their work through discussion, report and observation. When i undertake any supervision my aim is to identify solutions to any problems, improve practise and increase understanding of any issues. I will cover such topics for example workload,

Supervision is important for continued growth as a professional school counselor (Hess, Magnuson, & Beeler, 2012). Throughout my internship my relationship with my supervisor has been educational and productive for my continued growth. A strength includes that my supervisor provides timely constructive feedback about my skills and about cases. This evaluation helps me to grow and deepen my skills in order to become more effective with students. Another strength is that she helps me to further my knowledge about specific programs or services that are offered in the community that our students can benefit from. With her sharing this knowledge, she truly is supporting me in becoming a better school counselor. One limitation with our relationship is that sometimes she does not have an answer to my questions, however, this is usually due to an administration question that has not been answered. For example, one question that I have asked is why we cannot have an army or air force representative come to do a presentation to our seniors similar to how colleges come to the campus and do presentations. We have several students that

Through experiential activities the group will critically examine the significance of clinical supervision in training of clinical psychologists. The students will reflect on two different modalities applied to the supervision process.

I would consider and supervise Helen as mostly a level 3, conditional dependency, due to her previous experience and to build her confidence while adjusting to returning the field after a long break. As her supervisor it would be my job to support and assist her to eventually develop into a level 4, master counselor. We would accomplish this by me being mostly in the role of a peer, openly discussing cases and supporting Helen in her limitations. I would confidently adjust my supervision style to accommodate Helen being between a level 2 and level 3. Also, I would need to work through my own issues of feeling intimated by

PG. 376 They also are similar because they mainly focus on work related issues, and counseling focuses on personal issues. It is important to note that in order to be a competent counselor; one must experience and have training in all three areas. What would you do if you believed your clinical supervisor was not competent to provide you with quality supervision

Granello addresses the importance of the higher levels of cognitive complexity within the field of counseling (2010). The cognitive complexity has been linked to the competence of counselors due to the ability of reasoning and handling various situations in the mental health field. Similarly, McAuliffe (2014) also recognizes cognitive development as a critical component of counselor preparation. The author argues that it is counselor educators’ responsibility to provide the opportunity to promote students’ meaning-making capacities. These concepts well explain the wide range of competence among counselors in terms of writing (Granello, 2001), and practicing. Therefore, cognitive development and the constructivism will be the core of this teaching and learning philosophy paper.

Clinical supervision provides learning experiences devoted to developing leadership and competence within mental health professionals (Murphy & Kaffenberger, 2010). Two essential areas of knowledge for learning include integration of

(2008) stated that insufficient supervisory support increases stress, negative feeelings , and contributes to counselor ineffect , burn out , and role dissatisfaction. Two of the challenges of counseling supervision are assisting counselor interns as they build their facilitation, conceptualization, and intervention skills, plus gaining understanding of the clients they serve (Torres-Rivera et al., 2001). Counselor interns are also required to recognize and balance their internal differing points of view in developing a model of integration (Bernard & Goodyear, 2004). The Six Thinking Hats model (de Bono, 2008) can be applied to group supervision of counselor interns and can aid in gaining awareness and making decision. The technique is a metaphorical way to view a problem or a counseling situation around six different viewpoints following a certain color scheme and using the theme of thinking

Using self-assessment and plan coping strategies plays a big part in counselors self-evaluating themselves. And the SCTM helps counselors enhance their skills. The Skilled-Counselor Training Model (SCTM) was developed by incorporating training of both low and high-level counseling skills through having trainees learn about, observe, and perform skills, and then self-assess as well as receive peer and instructor feedback (Urbani et al., 2002). Research has found the SCTM approach to reliably improve trainee counseling skills (Smaby et al., 1999), lead to skill transfer into work with actual clients (Schaefle, Smaby, Maddux, & Cates, 2005), and enhance counselor self-efficacy (Urbani et al., 2002).
