The first session is usually for 45 mins to discover preferences and previous experience of supervision. I work in a clinically client-  centred way, paying attention to the process of what may be happening for the supervisee in their work and in the clinical room so that all the material and impact may be thought about. A safe space is offered so that the supervisee (particularly if in training) feels empowered to share their material and ask questions with encouragement and support and appropriate challenge.
