BCACC Lunch & Learn – Supervision Through Your Career

Join us to find out what it means to be a clinical supervisor and learn from the experience of three Approved Clinical Supervisors

A supervisor said to me once, “Follow the Golden Thread.”

This image of a delicate and valuable thread of a story has provided a foundation for working with clients and supervisees alike. This thread weaves through all the work of these relationships.

So what is Supervision?

• Clinical supervision is a crucial component for counsellors and psychotherapists during their education.
• It is an essential practice throughout your career that helps to anchor your clinical work in best practices and serves to build new skills. It also helps improve your ability to be harmonious as a therapist to your clients.
• Clinical supervision is also a specialty practice area with core philosophies, knowledge, and skills.

 This Lunch and Learn will cover topics around:

• The supervisory role and relationship
• An introduction into ways to engage a supervisor
• The pathway to becoming a BCACC Approved Clinical Supervisor.

Nelson Szeto

Nelson is a Registered Clinical Counsellor working in private practice and in a government mental health program, where he has been providing clinical counselling supervision to graduate students since 2015. His primary goal in supervision in addition to basic skills development and ethical practice, is to help supervisees build skills that help them show up in therapy in an emotionally connected and self- and co-regulated manner, as well as being grounded, authentic, and co-existing in an encouraging spirit for their clients. He enjoys providing supervision in honor of his practicum supervisor, Lorraine Short, who instrumentally built and guided his way of showing up for clients in a non-verbally empathic and relational way.
