Title: Co-creating meaning-making in narrative supervision with supervisees.

Abstract: This paper explores co-creating meaning-making in narrative supervision with supervisees as a dynamic and collaborative process that brings together diverse roles, functions, and perspectives. To navigate these complexities effectively, supervisors must cultivate a safe collaborative environment that encourages open dialogue, curiosity, and co-learning. This paper presents a first-person account of integrating narrative therapy into my supervisory practice, highlighting its transformative impact on my relationships with supervisees and the development of shared understanding. I explore the historical context, core principles, and critiques of narrative therapy, as well as its practical applications in clinical supervision. Through this reflective account, I aim to contribute to the ongoing discourse on narrative approaches in supervision, emphasising the importance of practices that prioritise relational context. This paper invites counselling psychologists to reflect on the potential of narrative approaches in their own supervisory work and consider how they can be leveraged to meet the unique needs of their practice, thereby enriching the supervisory experience and fostering deeper connections with supervisees.
