This series of 10 weekly webinars, beginning on Friday 17 April 2026, will offer multiple opportunities to explore and discuss various aspects of Psychodynamic Supervision within a developing group context, sharing thoughts, reflections and learn from experience while deepening appreciation and understanding.

 

Participants will need to have at least three years post-qualification experience after completing their professional training course and may be offering supervision or approaching doing so.

 

  • Each Webinar will:
    • take place on a Friday afternoon with two 75-minute sessions from 13:30 – 14:45 and 15:15 – 16:30 respectively with a mid-break of 30 minutes.
    • involve some preparatory reading listed alongside the outline for each week.

 

  • In the first week we will begin by:
    • pooling comparative experiences as a supervisee while thinking about roles and responsibilities in beginning supervision.
    • planning as a group to enable supervision work to be presented for those who wish to use the opportunity and to try to cater for particular interests.

 

  • Each subsequent week will then be a combination of:
    • a focus on a particular aspect/theme in the application of Supervision and further concerns associated with power and responsibility informed by a short reading list you will receive in advance via email each week. 
    • a presentation of clinical work (planned as a group in the initial Webinar as outlined in the Introduction/Rationale).

 

  • Our aspiration is that in our exploration and encounters as a group we will be:
    • curious, stimulated, perhaps even excited and ultimately able to enjoy the challenges we discover together.
    • sensitive and creative in accommodating particular needs and interests as we encounter them within the webinars.
    • able to accept responsibility for managing time within the framework that may lead to a wish for more … room, time, depth, range … and perhaps further planning?
    • potentially able to add material and grow the reading lists to promote further appreciation, learning and development.
