Supervision & Coaching Program

You may also be interested in our group coaching.

All costs for supervision and coaching include GST. Reduced rate for groups.

Individual supervision provides the opportunity for therapists to present cases in a framework that looks at the therapist's differentiation efforts in connection with the client system as well as help identifying the client's emotional process.

Interventions will be discussed as will the integration of other theoretical approaches.

Supervision will focus on the specific development needs of the individual therapist and assist the therapist to set goals for expanding their effectiveness in their work.

It is possible to create or join a Supervision Group.

This enables participants to share the costs and to benefit from being in touch with the thinking of a variety of practitioners. Groups of 3 or 4 participants meet monthly for 4 sessions. Groups of 3 have 1.5 hour sessions; groups of 4 having 2 hour sessions.

It is not necessary to present cases in a Family Systems framework to participate in supervision. Participants will be encouraged to become clear about their own model of practice and the interplay between different theoretical approaches.

Individual and Group Coaching

Family of Origin Coaching assists the therapist to be a researcher in their own family of origin system and to identify their role in the pattern of relationships. Researching the pattern of triangles and the key themes and roles in the family forms the foundation for planning specific interventions with one's own family members.

The goal is to define self more clearly in the emotional dynamics of the system which in turn enhances a person's ability to relate non- reactively in other relationship systems including the therapeutic relationship. Therapists can then consider how this impacts upon their role as therapist with clients or as a supervisor of other therapists.

One of the premises for this work is that therapists can only take their clients as far in their self definition efforts as the therapist has been able to take themselves.

Individuals or groups of up to 6 therapists can work together with a faculty member to explore their own family system and plan efforts to define themselves in a more differentiated manner. Individual therapists may focus on a specific issue in their relationships which will be viewed both in the current and previous generational context.

Strict codes of confidentiality apply.

FOO Coaching can be undertaken one on one or as part of our FOO Coaching Groups. Please see our schedule of fees for costs.

Faculty are available to tailor training and supervision programs for the needs of individual organisations and to run them at the workplace. Specifically tailored training packages can also be developed to run off site or at The Institute's Grosvenor Cottage.
