What is a key responsibility of a supervisee?

A key responsibility of a supervisee is to receive professional guidance from a counselor. This role is foundational to the supervision process, where the supervisee engages in learning and professional development through the guidance and expertise of a more experienced counselor or supervisor. Supervisees are expected to be open to feedback, willing to discuss their cases, and eager to grow in their practice through the insights provided by their supervisors.

This relationship fosters skill development, enhances clinical competence, and ensures that the supervisee adheres to ethical standards in counseling. The emphasis is on learning from a more experienced professional rather than taking on supervisory roles or leading sessions themselves, which are not primary responsibilities of a supervisee.
