Yet more on the theme of what I wrote about supervision in 2004 (Hay, 2004a, 2004b, 2007), in this blog I describe how I have experienced supervision formats over the years, followed by some ideas about how a supervisee can prepare for supervision so as to get the most out of it.

If more time is needed, it can be negotiated although often a better option will be to raise any additional issues that arise as separate pieces of supervision. The basic supervision slot may well be followed by a process review, during which the process between supervisor and supervisee is analysed (without going back into the content). This will often increase the levels of awareness of both parties, and any observers, considerably.
