What are the differences between supervision and consultation? APA (2010) (sec. 2.01) as well as ACA (sec. F.1) states, "administrators and advisors must deliver the leadership essential to the protection of educate supervisees, welfare of patients, facilitate the professional development of consultee" (Welfel, 2013/2010, p. 416).
According to Welfel (2013/2010), there are different ways mental health explains the term "guidance" the factors are, "practice of equating competence, process that involves multiple roles, and improper supervision inability of welfare of others" (p. 415). Implying a hierarchical relationship with one of the components being evaluative. Insuring the part to help with the professional socialization of supervisees; teaching the important of ethical principles and standards as a significant part of this charge. The supervisors must be present and staying alter and capturing on those familiar "teachable moments" of the importance of ethical principles and standards and internalizing them (Welfel, 2013/2010). The term "lousy guidance" is used a part leading even seasoned professionals vulnerable to ethical errors. Causing factors of mismanaged of countertransference, lack of information about evolving standards, and personal problems of objectivity and effectiveness issues Welfel (p. 413).
Consultation implies services offered by specially trained person in which they assist another person who has responsibility for a case or program, includes three parties: a consultant, a consultee, and clients. Their goal is to ensuring professional effectiveness, that deals with, goals making, or did intervention's work? With the understanding that their relationship is temporary (length may vary), only dealing...

Another problem with supervision is power which comes affects the relationship between the supervisor and supervisee. Factors like social position, race, gender, social class and sexuality, Issues of subordinate positions of women affect the supervisory relationship. To solve this problem it has been advocated that someone with a similar background should do the supervisory job.(White, E. & Winstanley, J. 2010).

As now it can be concluded that to make a supervision session effective it is essential to have a deep understanding of these facts and theories. Characteristics of both supervisor and supervisee are equally important. As supervisors must know their roles and responsibilities at the same time, supervisee should have interest towards reflective practice. Maintaining a good supervisory relationship will be useful to analyse the problems. If there are any signs of underperformance seen in the supervisee, the supervisor can approach them to sort out the matter before it causes
This essay aims to critically discuss the evidence base for clinical supervision (CS) in mental health care practice. Against the current climate of rapid societal and organisational change in Ireland, mental health care providers are increasingly being challenged to ensure safer higher quality contemporary services based on best practice. It is vital that senior management fosters a culture of CS to assist in this process. The essay will focus on following themes to ensure that it covers supervision practices and assist this quality initiative to be introduced locally. In this regard, this essay explores CS through the lenses of Mental Health Policy and legislation, its functions, the supervision relationship /working alliance Competency
It is key, when supervisors are employing a developmental approach of supervision, to identify the current stage the supervisee is in and to provide feedback and support appropriate to that particular developmental stage, whilst at the
Ethics in the counselling and psychotherapy protects the client and the therapist involved in the therapeutic relationship and the therapeutic process as a whole; with the concepts that act as a guide for the therapists in provision of good practice and care for the client. The framework is built on values of counselling and psychotherapy; principles of trustworthiness, autonomy, fidelity, justice, beneficence, non-maleficence and self-respect, and provides standards of good practice and care for the practitioner (BACP, 2010). Ethical framework contributes to the development of the therapeutic relationship and process by assisting therapist’s decisions, and guides their behaviour and proceedings within their legal rights and duties. The ethical frame is structured on the boundaries of the therapeutic relationship and the therapists should be aware of their categories and be responsible for their forms. Monitoring and being aware of what goes on in and out of the room physically, emotionally and psychologically is primarily the duty of the therapist.
Counselor A is neutral with both Tom and Virginia. A professional response was provided rather than a personal one to both parties. The counselor view was from a positive perspective. The counselor was professional in giving feedbacks pertain to his or her potential clients. The therapist present a realistic approach based on the couple situation and facts.

It was thought that if a social worker was engaging in the life and struggles of a client, it needed to be ensured through supervision that the personal life of the worker did not influence their interactions. Presently, in HSO the notion of supervision demonstrates a dichotomy between hierarchy and control or support and nurture. Kadushin (1985) outlines support, education, and administration, as three areas to consider when looking at the conflict of practice and pressure faced by supervisors and the supervised. Gardner (2006) states that supervision within an organization is going to have it’s own culture, which may differ from the culture of the organization. The culture of supervision is impacted by the importance placed on it. To examine this, one could ask, does the supervisor have an agreement that is followed or an agenda for the meeting? Notability, supervision is a way to develop or maintain learning in a
Ethical issues in a counseling practice lay the foundation of a therapist in practice. Ethics are at the center of how the counseling process functions and operates in a successful manner for the clients who seek help in such a setting. In order for the counseling profession to be ethical and hold professional recognition, there are many facets that need to be examined and outlined to make sure all counselors and practitioners are functioning at the highest level and withholding their duties required by the counseling profession. The first introduction so to speak of the area of ethics also happens to be one of the first steps in counseling, which is the informed consent. The informed consent provides the basis of what happens or will be happening in a counseling setting and serves to inform the client to their rights, responsibilities, and what to expect. Most importantly, the informed consent is in place for the client’s benefit. It also is important to understand that culture and environment play a role in the treatment of a client and how theories can positively or negatively impact this treatment. Therapists need to understand how to work within the context of a theory while being able to understand the individual in their own environment. Although theories are put into place to serve as a framework, there are also alternative ways to approach counseling, one example being evidence-based practice. Such an approach is very specific, which presents a series of solutions for counseling as a whole, but also brings forth many problems. Every approach or theory introduces ethical concerns that need to be taken into consideration by the entire counseling community and how each can positively and negatively affect clients and the pr...

I enjoyed all the aspects of developing a course on clinical supervision. I appreciated that the process of developing the course was broken down to manageable units.
The counseling session began with the introductions where I introduced myself as the counselor and later introduced my client. This stage is important in any counseling session since it is the time of exploration and focusing according to Gerard Egan as quoted by Wright (1998) in his essay on couselling skills. It is in this session that I was able to establish rapport and trust with my client in order to come up with a working and fruitful relationship with him. During this stage I made use of skills like questioning, where I would pose a question directly to my client, sometimes I would choose to just listen to what the client wanted to speak out while in some instances I would be forced to paraphrase the question if I felt the client did not understand the question I had asked previously. There were also other times when I would reflect through silence. During such a period, I got time to study the client and the information he had given. This being a difficult area, since some clients may not be able to volunteer information to you as the counselor, I decided to assure the client of confidentiality of any information he was willing to share with me with a few exceptions which I also told him about. Being open to him about the only times the information may not be confidential was part of my building rapport and establishing trust with him. I therefore, decided to ask the client what information he wanted to share with me and lucky enough he was ready to speak to me about different issues that he was going through.
