• What is difference between clinical supervision and consultation?
• Consultation is the understanding that professionals responsibility for the work remains with consultee and the choice of whether or not to use advice or recommendation that has been discuss in consultation
• Clinical  supervision is that supervisor has clinical responsibility for the work and has authority to require the supervisee to follow advice and direction

 

• Why is clinical supervision or consultation important ?

​Working with young people who often suffer varying degrees of emotional distress and disturbance can be puzzling, distressing and demanding.  For this reason regular clinical supervision and consultation should be an essential part of professional life of all who work in helping profession i.e.: social workers, medical staff, youth workers, care staff in residential therapeutic settings, educational settings or residential provision. Professional working with young people need support and help to work effectively and to ensure that he/she do not become overwhelmed or demoralised  by the emotional pressure that he/she is under. 

• ​What does clinical supervision and consultation provides?

Professionals who work with young people need support to ensure that they do not become overwhelmed or demoralised by the emotional pressure that they are constantly  under. they need: time, safe, containing and confidential space where can  think and reflect on daily work. This space can help professionals to have a clearer understanding of the child's emotional experiences. Then this understanding can be used to help develop better strategies for managing young people behaviour.  

• What does clinical supervision and consultation promotes?

Clinical supervision and consultation should promote:

• individual professional development
• and development of organisational service.

​

• What I offer as the clinical supervisor and consultant? 

For both the good supervision and consultation to take place there needs to be mutual respect, trust and honesty. As the supervisor and consultant I am able to empathise, be sensitive, attentive and listen well with those who work I with. I provide a safe, respectful, confidential and non judgmental space where demands of clinical work can be thought and better or different understanding reached how to help clients and how to cope with multi-dynamics of work.
