I am ready for Basics to Brilliance
Supervision Training, why do I need that?
You already deliver supervision to your colleagues or team but...
- You've never had formal training or it's a long time since you did
- You completed student supervisor training but different issues come up for staff
- You realise you need a different approach for qualified and support staff
- You feel exhausted by the end of the supervision session, often revisiting the same conversations
- You know you don't need to 'FIX' things but you leave sessions feeling like you should or you are
- You find difficult conversations hard to navigate so either avoid them or feel like you fumbled them
- It feels like a tick box experience, rushing through but not really focused on professional or personal growth
- You're not sure on how to separate out the managerial and professional supervision within the session, it all becomes blurred
- Tools for supervision, what are they?
SOUND FAMILIAR, THEN YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
IT'S TIME TO UP SKILL
How good would it be to feel to be confident in your supervisions skills?
- To use skills and tools that are evidence based for use in supervision sessions
- To feel confident in delivering sessions that focus on professional and personal development in the context of your organisation
- To know your sessions are developing therapist clinical reasoning and decision making skills not just ticking a box
- To support therapist in developing their own confidence and skills
- To be comfortable navigating difficult conversations
- Have procedures in place to manage and resolve conflict
- To come out of sessions feeling energised and positive
What therapist's say...
💬 What worked particularly well for me was the online, self-paced format.
The training was broken down into manageable sections, each taking less than 20 minutes to complete, which made it much easier to fit around work and everyday life.
💬 The group discussion and Q&A sessions were also a real bonus, providing opportunities to explore topics in more depth and hear different perspectives from others.
💬 Perhaps the biggest takeaway for me was the opportunity to reflect on my own supervisory skills and style.
It has given me greater confidence, fresh ideas, and a deeper appreciation of what effective supervision looks like in practice.

Hi, I'm Lynsay
I have been a practicing occupational therapist for over 30 years and still love it. But I won't lie, over those years, I have experienced a range of supervision and in my early career probably delivered supervision that could have been better.
I have undertaken post graduate study, I have created a long arm model of OT supervision and importantly I continue to deliver both 1:1 and group supervision for individuals and teams. I am also a supervisee, engaging in the supervision process.
This is the course I wish I had been able to go on but didn't exist. So I decided to create Basics to Brilliance supervision skills training for you.
I want you to feel confident in your supervision skills, understand what good supervision can look like and you have the tools to deliver it.
What other therapist's say...
💬 Basics to Brilliance is a well structured and interactive way of building the supervision skills and knowledge needed both as a supervisor and a supervisee.
The use of research, practical examples and an extensive toolkit, along with facilitated peer discussions has given me everything I need to feel confident in this area of practice.
UK Occupational Therapist
💬 Supervision models, I didn't know that was a thing.
In this world of evidence based practice, I have never used a supervision model before, I always just did what I've done based on the supervision I had received.
Now I can look and see why a model of supervision is helpful, it grounds my practice in evidence, tools and brings skills that make me an effective supervisor.
