Welcome to our supervision page!
We are passionate about ensuring that all those who provide Pastoral Care are receiving good support and engaging in personal and professional development. This includes chaplains, pastors, pastoral carers, and leaders.
Professional Pastoral Supervision is a great way to engage in transformational learning, reflective practice and holistic self-care.
To have someone to meet with every 4 – 8 weeks in a safe confidential space to reflect on your ministry, to get encouragement, support and to gain a broader perspective on situations you may be facing. To assist you to identify what you love to do, your calling, your core values and to better understand why you respond and react the way you do in certain circumstances. It can also assist with skills training and learning pathways.

GROUP SUPERVISION INFORMATION
Group supervision provides a safe, confidential space for those in the helping professions to reflect on their work practices and experiences, and to gain a better understanding of the impact of these experiences.
Supervision is a vital part of maintaining health and wellbeing to be able to function successfully in your professional role. It helps to understand yourself better and to reflect on your responses to situations. Time is taken to consider things from a different perspective.
The benefits of having group supervision include receiving support, having a non-judgmental place to debrief as required, and the provision of a rich learning environment.
Each person is to bring a specific case or situation to discuss and reflect on with the group. The group supervisor ensures that the process of supervision occurs and facilitates the session.
An example of what to bring to a group supervision session:
- Briefly describe the case/situation that you are bringing to group supervision
- Explain the particular aspect of the case/situation that you’d like to explore
- Discuss why you have brought this particular case/situation
- Tell the group what you would like to get from the group by bringing this today
