Supervision of Groups

Of interest to Counsellors, Psychological Therapists & Supervisors

Presented by: Gaie Houston

Tickets: Early Bird £100 on sale until 3rd September 2021 (Full Price £120)

Friday 20th May, 2022
10.00am - 4.30pm

VENUE: Thriplow Hall, Thriplow, Cambridgeshire SG8 7RD

We are so delighted to have Gaie Houston join with CST and bring her extensive experience to this very special training on Group Supervision.

Gaie writes; Every group is likely to generate far more process data than can be dealt with at the time. There are countless mnemonics and theories which attempt to corral what is happening under a few headings. These can be useful; but people in groups do not always behave the way a model predicts. For this training day, we can use this group to explore some of its own dynamics, to see how informative they may be about groups that members are supervising
.
Alongside this, we can look at members’ own supervision needs. The hope is to let everyone build on whatever structure they already, awarely or unawarely, use for supervising groups.
Shared leadership of groups is common and may be worth some time; so is the balance between intra and interpersonal work and systems-level intervention.

Different ways of recording work with groups may be of interest. Theorists from Bion to Schultz can likewise give clues to the goings-on in all sorts of groups.

I hope to construct the workshop with the members’ help, to deal with what in this large topic interests them most and will make an entertaining and useful day.

Gaie Houston MA [Oxon] Dip.A.B.Sc.

CST are delighted to welcome Isabelle Rodker. A highly accomplished Arts & Drama Therapist & Supervisor, Isabelle's experience of working with trauma across the world enable her to bring a unique cross cultural perspective to the field of creative supervision.

Isabelle writes: Please join me for an exploration of creative approaches in supervision to catalyse reflective processes and inspire new perspectives within supervision.
We will explore a range of creative tools, for example writing, art and drama techniques to develop your practice and to support supervisees in varied professions to examine their practice afresh.
There will be the opportunity for self- reflection, considering your own identity and how this impacts your practice and informs your understanding of others.
During the workshop we will be stimulating and challenging ideas about supervision, and in doing so expanding to consider varied approaches in working with challenges and respecting difference.

Isabelle Rodker is a Drama Therapist and Clinical Supervisor who has worked both overseas and in the UK supporting organisations working on the front line with people experiencing trauma.

Her experience of working interculturally in Palestine, Bahrain and Cambodia, as well as inner city London has significantly informed her practice and developed a creative approach to supervision.

She currently works in private practice as a therapist and supervisor and is clinical supervisor for Youth Offending Teams nationwide.

She has a special interest in seeking to understand neuro-diverse and cultural perspectives to inform and expand the lens of her practice.
