About
Supervision is a chance to stop, slow down the pace and think. However, it can become a routine process and lack psychological safety, creativity or interest. It is time to look at it differently and see what it could be!
This workshop seeks to develop effective and creative supervision practices in psychology that will refresh and enhance your practice.
Delegates will explore the contracting process, including from a transcultural perspective, discuss relevant research on peer and group supervision and issues that may arise in these contexts, consider strengths-based approaches to supervision, and develop action points to take forward in your own practice.
Date: Thursday, 11 September 2025
Time: 13:00-16:00
This workshop is available to book until Wednesday, 10 September 2025 at 13:00. It is available in English only.
Attendees of this workshop will receive a Certificate of Attendance.
