Intervision Australasia

Training in the Intervision style of Group Supervision 

Welcome to the training. The pre-requisite to participating in this training is a 2 1/2 hour introduction. The introduction is a brief experiential based initiation into a body of work with a wealth of depth and integrity. 

The Vision

Intervision represents a new paradigm that we are entering in therapeutic settings and in society. In many places we are observing a movement towards respect, self-empowerment, embracing diversity, inclusion, collaboration and solidarity. 

We value and support individual supervision as an essential process. What the Intervision approach adds to supervision is the horizontal contribution of a collective wisdom of sensations, insights, experiences and competencies present in the group.
