A structured preparation worksheet based on the Padesky supervision model. Helps supervisees organise their agenda, case discussions, and learning goals before each supervision session.
Complete this worksheet before your supervision session. Use case codes rather than client names when referring to clients.
Use before each supervision session to ensure the supervisee comes prepared with specific issues for discussion. Preparation maximises the value of supervision time and develops reflective practice skills.
Frame as a tool to help the supervisee get the most from their supervision time. Encourage them to complete it before the session, identifying specific cases, competency questions, or professional development needs they want to discuss. Supervisors should review it at the start of the session to agree the agenda.
For trainee therapists, include prompts for discussing specific competencies from the BABCP minimum training standards. For experienced practitioners, focus on complex cases and professional development goals. Adjust the level of structure based on the supervisee's experience and preferences.
The preparation sheet should not become a bureaucratic exercise that replaces genuine reflective engagement. If the supervisee is completing it mechanically without meaningful reflection, discuss this process in supervision. Supervision should always allow space for emergent issues not captured on the sheet.
Encourage supervisees to bring a specific moment from a session (ideally with a recording excerpt) rather than a general case summary. The most useful supervision typically focuses on a specific therapeutic interaction rather than case management. Include space for personal/emotional reactions to clinical work.
Suitable for clients working with supervision, preparation, padesky. This tool can be used as a standalone worksheet or as part of a structured homework plan.
