Clinical Superivision
Clinical supervision is an essential part of working therapeutically with clients. Clinical supervision is a professional requirement of all counselling, psychotherapy, psychology, social work and occupational therapy bodies. All people working in the helping professionals also benefit from clinical supervision (or practise mentoring).
All ethical and professional therapists have on-going formal clinical supervision to support their work in accordance with professional codes of practice requirements. Clinical supervisors are experienced therapists and maintain a responsibility for the good practice of supervisees and to protect clients from harm and unethical practice. Clinical supervisors also have supervision.
Clinical supervision is a space for the supervisee to engage reflexively with the content and process of their client work. Through clinical supervision topics such as therapeutic techniques, therapeutic relationships, difficult problems, ethical dilemmas or issues which impact on the therapist personally as a result of the therapeutic process.
The focus in supervision is three-fold:
Therapy process – The development of clinical skills and awareness,
Self-in-therapy / Therapy-in-self – recognise and manage personal responses, values and power, and
Professional development – expand knowledge and skills.
Dr Christopher Fox supervises psychosexual therapists and mental health professionals (general therapy, psychological well-being). He works with psychologists, counsellors, psychotherapists, social workers, occupational therapists and mental health nurses. Dr Christopher also supervises allied health, medical and nursing professionals who work in sexual health and/or with human sexuality.
Introducing Your Supervisor – Dr Christopher Fox
As a clinical supervisor I work from a collaborative and supportive framework to facilitate the growth of the therapist. I draw on critical reflexive practice where the supervisee moves beyond reflection to engagement in self-in-therapy/therapy-in-self/therapeutic self, self-care and development as a professional. A focus on the praxis issues of practice-to-theory/theory-to-practice encourages the therapist to maintain a best-practice model drawing on evidence-based and practice-based evidence informed approaches.
My professional focus is in the areas of psychosexual therapy, sexuality, and gender diversity, as well psychological well-being. My theoretical orientation draws on an integrative model of psychodynamic, Berne, Adler, humanism existentialism, Rogerian and solution-focussed approaches to therapy in the main. My practice is also heavily influenced by systems (Satir, Bowen)/family and relationship therapy. I also utilise creative therapeutic approaches including storytelling, therapeutic photography, and clay/play dough. As a public health specialist and experienced community practitioner I also supervise health promotion, welfare and community development workers.
In addition to individual clinical supervision, I offer a number of supervision groups for emerging and experienced practitioners, scudding allied health practitioners who work with human sexuality and sexual health and not engaged in psychosexual therapy. Groups are available for Europe and the UK, Canada, Mexico, and USA, as well as Australian and Western Pacific.
