-
SUMMARY
- Regular supervision by a clinical supervisor or peers, individually or in a group, will support you and ensure good quality counselling
- Sometimes it is necessary to refer patients to supervisors, especially those with high suicide risk or who don’t improve with counselling. Patients in difficult social situations can be referred to community agencies
- Ensuring that patients complete treatment helps receive the best results of counselling. Telephone counselling, with prior consent, can be considered for those who are unable to follow up for subsequent sessions at home or in the clinic
- Documentation helps keep track of the clinical process and makes supervision effective
- Maintaining boundaries helps ensure that the professional nature of the relationship is maintained
- Be aware of the risk of burn out and take precautions to prevent it
