In this masterclass, Dr. Clare Beckett-Mcinroy delves into the intricacies of group supervision, blending theory with experiential learning to offer a comprehensive look at the benefits and challenges of this dynamic approach. The session emphasizes the theme of belonging and how it plays a pivotal role in creating psychologically safe and productive group supervision environments. Dr. Beckett-Mcinroy explores how group supervision can offer a sense of connection, support, and collective learning for professionals who often work in isolation.
Clare opens the session by guiding participants through a reflective exercise using a metaphorical landscape, encouraging them to place themselves in relation to their experience of group supervision. This activity not only highlights the importance of self-awareness in group settings but also demonstrates creative approaches supervisors can adopt to engage participants.
The presentation covers several essential aspects of group supervision, including the balance between structure and flexibility, the role of belonging and safety in fostering open dialogue, and the benefits of having multiple perspectives in the room. Clare also touches on potential pitfalls, such as feelings of exclusion, analysis paralysis, and time limitations, offering strategies to mitigate these risks through effective contracting and group agreements.
One of the key takeaways is the concept of integrating various supervision models, including psychodynamic, existential, and systemic approaches, to tailor group supervision to the unique needs of the participants. Clare underscores the importance of vulnerability, humility, and reflective practice in deepening the group’s experience and enhancing the supervision process.
Dr. Beckett-Mcinroy also highlights the transformative potential of group supervision by sharing creative tools such as using imagery, role play, and reflective activities, all designed to enrich the supervisory experience. Through her engaging and reflective teaching style, Clare encourages supervisors to create spaces where participants feel seen, heard, and supported, ultimately fostering both personal and professional growth.
This session is ideal for supervisors seeking to enhance their practice by incorporating group supervision techniques, new supervisors wanting to build confidence in group settings, and experienced supervisors looking to deepen their understanding of group dynamics and the creative possibilities they offer.
