Welcome to Our Online Supervision and Training & Development Resources

Why Online Supervision?

Practitioners ranging from clinical psychologists to members of the clergy have written to ask me about online supervision services, and as a result I've learned a few things that seem to apply to most practitioners looking for online clinical supervision:

• Practitioners are often just getting started with online working and value flexible arrangements that can accommodate their varying case loads,
• Practitioners view effective clinical supervision of their online work as an integral part of their overall online practice,
• Practitioners are looking for a supervisor with actual first-hand experience offering online counselling or therapy,
• Practitioners are eager to gain experience and build their own skills in offering online therapy or online counselling, and
• Practitioners appreciate the opportunity to conduct the supervision itself via an online modality.

If a few of these ring true for you in your own search for effective supervision of online therapeutic work, and if my own philosophy of supervision matches up well with what you'd like from peer consultative support, maybe we can work together. I've recently moved my main 'Getting Started' process for online supervision to our spin-off site at MyTherapist.com. However, the background pages about the service are still available here at CounsellingResource.com, including:

• Online Supervision FAQ,
• Things to Consider before undertaking online supervision, and
• my Philosophy of Supervision

If you're actually looking for broader practice development support, you might find something useful on our page about Whole Practice Mentoring.

Online Training and Professional Development Materials

In addition to our online supervision services, this section also includes resources we hope will be useful for training and professional development materials. These papers and other resources are directly informed by online clinical experience and hopefully will be relevant to mental health professionals who are in actual online practice or who are contemplating adding this modality to their existing practice.
