Episode 12: Beyond the Tick-Box: What Real Supervision Looks Like with Jess Marsh

What does real supervision look like, the kind that actually helps you stay well in the work instead of just ticking a box?

In this episode, I’m joined again by Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, Jess Marsh, to talk about supervision as a genuine burnout prevention and recovery tool. Jess shares her own experience of burnout and how reflective supervision helped her find her way back to sustainable practice.

We also explore:

What makes supervision truly supportive (and what doesn’t)

Why “tick-box” supervision misses the point

The difference between counselling and reflective supervision

How tools like the Supervision Menu and ProQOL can help practitioners stay grounded

And I have to admit, this episode came about because I was totally fan-girling over Jess’s Supervision Menu after buying myself a copy and using it in my own sessions. Maybe I’m the only supervision nerd here… haha!

Tune in to hear how supervision, done well, can become one of your biggest protective factors against burnout.
