Supervision is at the heart of your work as a clinician. At The Allegory Practice we offer a reflective space to support you in developing your practice which ultimately benefits client safety.
How much supervision should I have?
You should have supervision at a frequency and duration that allows you to discuss various facets of your work as needed
According to the BACP Ethical Guidance, the requirement for clinical supervision is 90 minutes a month.
Additional supervision outside of supervision provided by your paid or voluntary role may be a minimum of 60 minutes.

There are three key aspects to clinical supervision:
- Retrospection/introspection: have a shared attitude to client work, what it means to be a therapist, the types of interventions used, the nature of the complex work we do, and the therapeutic relationship. The aim is to explore and deal with difficulties which may arise in your work and consider what is going well.
- Reflection: feeling supported with your clinical work, to develop on your understanding, skills, and self-awareness as a reflective practitioner.
- Reliability: ensuring that the quality of your work falls within the ethical and professional framework whilst maintaining open communication like what we offer to our clients. It is important to remain up to date with continued professional development to help inform your practice.
Supervision can help you:
- Gain clarity and fresh perspectives on your client work.
- Develop your skills and interventions.
- Address ethical dilemmas.
- Enhance your self-care and wellbeing as a therapist
- Develop a constructive supervisory relationship
Clinical supervision provides a balance between you, your clients, and your practice.
