Professional supervision provides a confidential, reflective space strengthening safe, ethical practice and sustains work and ministry over time. It may involve management, seeking advice, and meeting personal needs.
Professional supervision is a structured conversation about work and ministry. It provides the space to bring real cases, dilemmas and questions, and to reflect on them with a trained supervisor.
Supervision is particularly helpful to counsellors, spiritual directors, clergy, chaplains and others in care-focused roles to stay grounded, accountable and well. It is often a professional or organisational requirement and can be helpful with issues that arise during spiritual direction.
To prepare for supervision, it can help the one being supervised to bring a recent situation, theme, or question from their work life, and notice where they felt stretched, stuck, enlivened, or uneasy. This will enable them to be ready to look at both the theme or question and its impact on them.
Supervision is recommended monthly or by arrangement and lasts for 60 minutes.
Conversations are private, with standard exceptions where disclosure is required by law or where there is a serious risk of harm.
Pā Maria offers professional supervision in person.
