Group Supervision for Mental Health Professionals and Therapists


Listen Later

Do you ever feel like you're navigating your work solo, without a support system? In this episode, I'm diving into the world of group supervision and why it’s a game-changer for therapists and mental health professionals. I’ll share my experiences with supervision, the lessons learned, and why group supervision has been one of the most powerful tools for professional growth and connection.

Group supervision isn’t just about case reviews; it’s about building networks, gaining different perspectives, and developing as a therapist. If you're a mental health practitioner, this episode is for you. And if you're feeling isolated in your work or unsure about group supervision, let me reassure you that it can offer so much more than you might expect.

Key Takeaways:

  • The power of group supervision: It offers a chance to connect with peers and get multiple perspectives on cases.
  • Normalising struggles: Hearing from other practitioners can remind you that you’re not alone in your challenges.
  • Peer feedback and skill-building: Group settings provide safe spaces to improve on areas like public speaking or case presentation.
  • Social networking and referrals: It’s not just about supervision—it’s about building relationships with colleagues for long-term support.
  • Hive mind approach: With multiple perspectives, you get more than one way of thinking about a case, which can spark new insights.
  • Building empathy and self-compassion: Group supervision fosters an environment where you can be kinder to yourself, something we often forget to do.
  • Practical skill development: It’s a great space to practice presenting cases or fine-tuning therapeutic techniques in a supportive setting.
