Apart from clocking in your required supervision hours that will lead toward your accreditation, it greatly enhances your personal and professional development, especially in the following 5 Areas:

Supervision cultivates a practitioner's reflective discipline for their own cases as well as others. This stimulates self-awareness, enhances analytical faculties, surfaces biases, helps keep professional boundaries, avoid countertransference or enmeshment with clients.

Supervision is the best way to grow your skills beyond your formal training! It provides for continuous education and promotes skills-building during case presentations and discussions of therapeutic techniques. It also provide a platform for exploring innovative interventions & cross-disiplinary strategies.

Group supervision provides practitioners input and insights from multiple viewpoints. The different theoretical orientations and clinical experiences can broaden the practitioner's understanding and enrich their therapeutic approaches.

Supervision fosters a sense of community, validation, emotional & peer support among practitioners. It provides a space for sharing challenges, successes, and learning from one another's experiences. This reduces feelings of isolation, and also lead to networking opportunities & collaborations.

Regular participation in supervision creates a sense of accountability, as practitioners commit to actively engage and be open in the sessions. This commitment can promote continuous learning, professional growth, and adherence to ethical and best practice standards.
