*Supervision sessions involve discussing various aspects of your client sessions with an FFCP senior clinical team member. They do not require you to be directly supervised while working with a client. These sessions will allow you to receive supportive and constructive feedback about strengths and areas for improvement. They will enable you to reflect on your performance and gain insight into any skills you may need to develop or tools you could employ. Your supervisor will also give advice and suggestions on difficult client situations and case studies. Supervision provides an opportunity to learn and practice new techniques and explore helpful ways of working with clients.
