Supervision & Mentoring

Supervision That Supports You

 
 
 

What Is Supervision

Supervision is a collaborative process that gives naturopaths the opportunity to regularly reflect on their clinical practice with the guidance of an experienced practitioner. It’s a safe, confidential space to:

  • Debrief after complex or emotionally demanding client sessions

  • Explore therapeutic relationships and professional boundaries

  • Gain feedback on treatment plans or clinical decisions

  • Celebrate your wins and successes

  • Strengthen your confidence and clinical reasoning

While supervision is a requirement for counsellors and psychotherapists, it’s not yet a standard in the naturopathic industry. But it should be.
