Structured Collaborative, Reflective Supervision

Group Supervision

I offer structured, collaborative group supervision to qualified Educational Psychologists, Headteachers and Senior Leadership Teams in educational settings.

  • Supportive
  • Reflective
  • Confidential

The supervision model I use is based on the work of Dr. Linda Charles. As the facilitator, my role is to help create a safe, warm and supportive environment where group members can thrive. Each participant takes turns presenting supervision questions to the group, with all members acting as co-supervisors. Responsibility is shared equally, ensuring that the supervision process remains collaborative and balanced.

Group supervision is a contained, confidential space for reflective learning, where participants engage in active listening and contribute to a non-judgmental, authentic and warm environment.

Each month, two members present a  question, while the rest of the group serves as co-supervisors. Presenters are asked to prepare their questions in advance.

Structure:

  • Two participants present a question each month.

Format:

  • Sessions are held online, monthly and last for 90 minutes.
  • Groups remain consistent for four months, allowing trust and continuity to develop.

Group supervision is highly sought after and as a result, spaces are limited.

Please contact me for availability or to join the waiting list.

“It is difficult to be succinct about the benefits of being one of Max’s group supervision members, but here is my best attempt. As an experienced educational psychologist who has moved into locum work to manage care responsibilities, I find the sessions highly engaging, thought-provoking and invaluable for professional and personal development. The group brings together the perspectives, insights and support of colleagues with diverse experiences, who bring an array of pertinent issues to navigate our evolving profession and working practices, and to support our personal wellbeing. Max’s own contributions, and her skilful facilitation of the process, are central to pulling all of these key strands together for richness of impact. To my mind, whether you are presenting or co-supervising, and whatever your work situation or your level of experience, the benefits of attending these sessions are immense.”
