MEDIATION PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE SUPERVISION

Professional mediation practice supervision is essential for anyone working in a professional capacity as a mediator, giving you the opportunity to offload and debrief when your work has impacted on you; either in a group or one to one session.

Typically our group meetings enable you to learn from each other, discuss your cases, consider a range of approaches and share your concerns, questions and successes with other professionals.

One to one sessions encourage reflection and discussion on best practice.

All supervision takes place in a confidential and safe environment and our supervisors are accredited annually by the College of Mediators.

2023 NETWORK EVENTS

11 October 2023

  • Session 1 – Understanding Myers Briggs Types (MBTI) and how it can be useful to mediators – Nicola King @ ThinkResolve – Myers and Briggs developed their tool to help people identify their communication preferences and the resulting impact on interactions with others more than 50 years ago.  Since then it has been subject to rigorous research and evaluation and is still the most widely used psychometric tool worldwide.  When mediating, Nicola uses her knowledge of her own preferences and identifies clues in the parties’ style and behaviours that can be exploited to help find a resolution. In this session, she will introduce the 4 dichotomies and the resulting 16 types.  She will then explain how these types can contribute to conflict and support us when helping others to find their resolutions.

SUPPORT & EVENTS FEEDBACK

Hi Jules, thank you for the supervision yesterday, it was great to talk through the very complex case with you. It has helped me to refocus on what is important in this case, to action plan going forward and has definitely made me look forward to the next steps with this family. I always look forward to sessions with you, as it helps so much with reflective practice and boosting my mediation practice

Feedback from a Mediation and Education Lead regarding their Practice Supervision Support Session

It is always a delight to have sessions with Jules. She has a warm and encouraging manner which sets you at ease. She also has a fantastic ability to help you drill down into cases, find the learning points and reflect on your practice. Great job, Jules, thank you so much!

Feedback from a Mediator regarding their Practice Supervisoin Support Session

Your reminder of the purpose of supervision and your role; to challenge, encourage exploration and support. And then following this through, I appreciated your empathy and support (helping me to remember what I had done well) in equal measure with encouraging reflection and analysis, including challenging me to think of anything else I could have done or will do differently. I find you to be really encouraging as well as trusting that you will ensure I am really honest with myself on elements on which I could improve or consider"
