Informing supervision practice through research: A narrative inquiry. Counselling and Psychotherapy Research, 9(2), 101-107.https://hdl.handle.net/10289/2757Intention: This study focused on questions of whether and how clients benefit from supervision. As practitioner research, the study was intended to shape the researchers' own supervision practice. Method: The qualitative approach was based on interviews with a small number of experienced practitioners about their supervision experiences. The findings are presented in the form of reflexive stories, told by each researcher. Findings: In these stories the researchers tell how engagement with experienced practitioners' accounts of their past supervision shaped the hopes and intentions the researchers hold for their future supervision. Implications for practice: The stories suggest there are therapeutic benefits in an ethic of transparency that provides for practices that overtly carry stories in both directions between counselling and supervision.ennarrativeoutsider witness practicespractitioner researchreflexivitysupervisionJournal Article10.1080/14733140802688936
