What's included 

Our Supervisor’s event – ‘fostering supervision in an uncertain world’ is dedicated to supporting supervisors and takes place in-person in Bristol on Thursday 26 September.

Robin Shohet has over 30 years of experience in supervision and will deliver our opening keynote for the day; ‘fear and love in supervision (and beyond)’. Our second keynote ‘navigating local and global contemporary challenges; the counselling professions in times of turbulence, challenge and change’ will be presented by our President Professor Lynne Gabriel.

The event will explore the issues manifesting in supervision, including the challenges supervisors might face. It’ll also look at the contextual, contemporary, and practice-based issues that present in supervision. 

You’ll choose from a mix of workshops, including ‘An introduction to AI for Supervisors’ delivered by Richard Miller, ‘Supervising students’ delivered by Nicola Blunden and Alix Hearn will present a session on ‘Global instability and anxiety/war’. Other workshop themes will focus on ‘supervising practitioners working with adoptive clients’, ‘supervising CYPF practitioners’ and ‘how accessible is your supervision’.

This event aims to create time and space to connect with peers working within contemporary supervision, whatever stage of your career.
