CE Counseling Supervision Outcomes
Goals for University Supervision
To teach counselors to develop and test hypotheses.
To assist counselors in shifting from a
performance laden stance (“Did I do this
right?”) to that of curiosity (What did I learn?
To prepare counselors in managing the
frustration and tension associated with the
ambiguity of the counseling process.
To facilitate the counselors self awareness and
understanding with regard to their influence
(directly or indirectly) on the counseling
process
To identify and develop their skills not only as a
counselor, but also as an advocate, educator,
systems consultant, and collaborative group
facilitator.
Goals for On-Site Supervision
To provide one hour a week of individual
supervision as well as group supervision
when relevant to the site.
To orient to the procedures, guidelines, and
purpose of the setting
To guide toward the acquisition of specific
skills and knowledge related to the setting
To provide counseling situations in which
trainees can gain experience in practical
application of methods and techniques
To assist in planning for efficient use of time
and resources
To assist in assessing client potential and
prognosis
To help develop positive working relationships
with supervisors, peers, and related mental
health professionals.

Counseling Supervision Defined
A distinct intervention that is provided by a senior member
of a profession to a junior member or members of that
same profession. This relationship is evaluative, extends
over time, and has the simultaneous purposes:
a)
b)
c)
enhancing the professional functioning of the junior
members,
monitoring the quality of professional services offered
to the clients he/she/they see(s) and,
serving as a gatekeeper for those who are to enter the
particular profession
(Bernard & Goodyear, 1992, p. 4).
Conclusions of Counseling Supervision Research
PRIMARY CONCLUSION
Qualities of professional
reflectivity were illustrated as
necessary for trainees to
adopt conceptual and
interactive skills
representative of advanced
counselor trainees.
SECONDARY CONCLUSIONS
Counseling trainees progress
through a sequence of definitive
stages while experiencing
increased levels of emotional and
cognitive dissonance.
Transforming dissonant counselortraining experiences into a
meaningful guide for practice is
largely a factor of increased
conceptual complexity, and
articulates the difference between
novice and advanced trainees
A trusting and supportive
supervisory relationship is a
prerequisite for advanced
supervisee development

Broad Reflective Questions
The supervisory relationship provides a context for the review of
counselor-trainee intentionality. Counseling supervision,
therefore, directs attention to broad questions to be explored
with the supervisee:
How do I make sense of the dissonant or distressful
counseling experiences?
What does this mean with regard to my professional
skills, theory of change, and gaps in my professional
development needing to be addressed?
How does this assist in better understanding the world
view of the client?

“Life experience is richer than discourse. Narrative
structures organize and give meaning to experience
but there are always feelings and lived experiences
not fully encompassed by the dominant narrative”
