Supervision Group
An ongoing online supervision group for therapists and mental health professionals from different therapeutic orientations, aimed at deepening clinical practice through experiential, relational, and integrative exploration.
Participants will have the opportunity to bring clinical material for supervision and actively engage in the group’s collective learning process.
Since 2012, Michael Soth has been facilitating Continuing Professional Development (CPD) groups for counsellors, psychotherapists, coaches, and other mental health professionals. The proposed group combines ongoing supervision with experiential and theoretical professional development within a stable, relationally oriented framework.
Unlike one-off workshops or conferences, an ongoing group provides a more consistent learning environment in which new knowledge can gradually be integrated into everyday clinical practice. The repeated meetings of the same participants create a deeper relational container, within which professional development gains continuity, depth, and personal meaning.
The group is cross-disciplinary and integrative, bringing humanistic, psychodynamic, and body-oriented traditions into dialogue. It emerged from an interest in establishing a more stable and continuous framework for supervision and professional development.

WHO IS IT FOR?
Mental health professionals and trainees from different therapeutic orientations, including psychologists, mental health counsellors, and psychotherapists.
Why Join an Ongoing Supervision Group?
After completing their initial training, every therapist faces the question of how to continue learning, deepening their understanding, and developing their practice. Standalone training events can be valuable, but their impact often fades quickly, and learning can remain fragmented.
In contrast, an ongoing supervision group provides a stable framework in which participants get to know one another more deeply, follow the development of their clinical work, and integrate new knowledge more meaningfully into their practice. The diversity of therapeutic approaches and styles within the group further enriches the learning experience.
How the Group Works
The group is based on experiential supervision. Participants take turns bringing clinical material for exploration, presenting specific cases and therapeutic dilemmas. Supervision goes beyond intellectual discussion, connecting experiential and embodied exploration with theoretical reflection and teaching.
Michael Soth’s approach may include, where appropriate to the material and the group context:
Experiential and embodied supervision
Therapist–client role-play
Use of the empty chair technique
Theoretical exploration
Group reflection
Key Areas of Supervision
Michael Soth’s approach to supervision places particular emphasis on:
Parallel processes within the group
Embodied and non-verbal communication
Unconscious processes
Transference and countertransference dynamics
Oscillations between the therapeutic alliance and enactment
This focus is not intended to impose “correct” techniques or ready-made solutions, but to support therapists in finding their own way of working with each client. Ideas and techniques can be borrowed; therapeutic presence, however, cannot.
Frequency and Participation Framework
The group meets for one six-hour session every two months, amounting to six meetings per year. This frequency represents a realistic compromise between maintaining continuity within the group and accommodating the time and financial demands of professional life.
The group does not replace individual or regular supervision where this is necessary. Rather, it forms part of ongoing professional development, offering a rich framework for deepening understanding, reflection, and clinical growth.
