Supervision
Consultant As a consultant, counselors find ways to focus on therapeutic models, and intervention techniques to help strengthen counseling roles. A consultant also can build confidence in a new counselor’s abilities as well as to argue range of experience. A consultant also will improve on interventions. In the role of adviser it “…provides options and alternatives rather than answers, and the interaction is more collegial" (Pearson, 2004, p. 363). As a consultant there will be various discussions on treatment and case conceptualization as it connects to various caseloads (Pearson, 2007). With regard to Michael, as a consultant, I would ask him what his fears are about bringing in the boyfriend in? I would possibly suggest the two of them create a date night where the two of them could focus on each other. I also would suggest for the client to have a deeper understanding of why she feels her boyfriend is not listening. Collaborating is the most constructive skill for a consultant/supervisor. As a consultant, engaging in discussions as well as brainstorming with Michael creates alternative methods and perceptions that a young intern may not be privy to knowing (Pearson, 2004). The focus is on the client and his or her need for treatment and the outcomes of those treatments all the while exploring unconventional techniques and methods. Counselor As a supervisor in this role, there would be discussions related to the mental health that could trigger a lack of confidence, or lack of self esteem concerns with relation to counseling Young & Basham, 2010). Here a seasoned counselor protégé’s a young graduate by stimulating growth and awareness of his or her personal development to be effective (Pearson, 2004). As a counselor helping Michael, I would express what a wonderful job he has done with clients, and that I understand your fear because I too was once where you were. I then would tell him that he needed to trust himself.
