“…Whilst identifying the importance of offering a safe space in which to build a relationship of trust and openness with supervisees, all participants highlighted the challenge of offering a safe space within the remit of their line-management role.

The case for supervision for career counsellors has been made strongly. However, there is still a distinct lack of formal support and supervision for career practitioners in the UK and elsewhere. This paper begins by defining support and supervision in the helping professions. It goes on to report the findings of a research project undertaken with a group of supervisors working in the context of 'youth support' and considers how the results might be applied to the career counselling profession. The hope is that the debate concerning the need for supervision for career practitioners is reignited.
