This one day training with John Burnham will explore the application of a number of frameworks for developing supervisory practice. This will include revisiting Relational Reflexivity and the consideration of Resources, Restraints, Problems and Possibilities. This small group setting, focussing on the needs of qualified family therapist, will support John’s informal, challenging and humorous approach to supervision and there will be plenty opportunity for discussion and application to practice.
