Professional Supervision
Supervision provides dietitians with a confidential, empathetic, and safe space to share their clinical, entrepreneurial, relational, and emotional experiences.
Supervision offers essential support that helps dietitians grow and develop both professionally and personally. Working one-on-one with clients often brings opportunities to reflect on our practices, evaluate how we approach client interactions, and consider how we create space for challenges and difficulties. It enables dietitians to further develop their clinical expertise and skills by working through specific cases relevant to their practice.
Annyck Besso, founder of Fueling for Recovery, has been providing professional supervision to registered dietitians across Canada and the United States since 2018. She receives supervision herself in order to continue to develop in this area. Fueling for Recovery offers group supervision and individual supervision.
Here are the differences between the two types of supervision offered
Group Supervision
- This is offered in a closed group that meets on a monthly basis. Commitment to 6 groups is required.
- Small intimate group
- Provides a space to hear a variety of cases and challenges and learn indirectly
- Allows you to connect with other providers and hear different experiences
- Several minds to reflect on what you bring to supervision
Individual Supervision
- This is offered on an as needed basis and you can schedule a session as you wish without commitment
- Confidential environment
