'Supervising Difficult Supervisees' facilitated by Heather Dale and Justyna Muller
In this workshop, we will look at our own experiences of “difficult” supervisees and explore the interaction between supervisors and supervisees. We will start by acknowledging that we all hold both roles in this room, as we are all supervisors and supervisees. We will explore the correlation between what kind of supervisees we are and therefore what kind of supervisors we are. To demonstrate the above and bring reflections to life, we will introduce the theory of Yalom's “problem patients” and Steiner’s drama triangle and how these can be used to understand what is happening in supervision in times of stuckness.

The impact of supervising other therapy modalities on our core supervisory style and approach, facitated by Dr Yvonne Waft.
In this session, Dr. Yvonne Waft will use a mixture of formal presentation, group discussion and pair work to explore how supervising and practising multiple therapy modalities can bring benefits but also challenges to our core initial supervisor and therapeutic approach and style. Using her considerable experience of EMDR where Yvonne will go through the main expectations of practising and supervising this modality, we will explore and discuss the impact of practising other approaches on how we conduct and perhaps adapt our own supervisory style. We will share our own experiences of, and learning from, supervising other modalities.
Dr. Yvonne Waft is a Clinical Psychologist and EMDR Europe Accredited Consultant and Supervisor. In addition, Yvonne is an EMDR Europe accredited training facilitator. She is author of the recently published and highly successful book ‘Coping with Trauma, surviving and thriving in the face of overwhelming events’, copies of which will be available for sale at the event. Having worked in the NHS in West Yorkshire for many years, she now runs a busy online private therapy and supervision practice. Trained in a number of therapy modalities including Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Yvonne works mainly with individuals with complex trauma presentations and supports other talking therapy professionals in their work with trauma through teaching, training and clinical supervision and offers Expert Witness services to the legal profession.
