There are several interpretations of the term "supervision", but typically supervision is the activity carried out by supervisors to oversee the productivity and progress of employees who report directly to the supervisors.

PRObalance understands the terms "productivity and progress of employees" primarily in the context of the "improving the relationship between the counsellor (therapist) and client" and secondary in the context of "improving relationship between the therapist and his or her employer and/or working environment". Both relationships involve contact-ability and in this response-ability.

The Integrative Gestalt Therapy Approaches that PRObalance will offer to therapists and counsellors to improve contact-ability and response-ability are:

1. Gestalt Therapy (Fritz Perls)
2. Bioenergetics (A. Lowen)
3. Psychodrama (Moreno)
4. Transactional Analysis (E. Berne)
5. Rogerian Therapy
6. TCI - Ruth Cohn

As each client is an individual and unique no one single approach will suit all individuals. The beauty about the Integrative Gestalt approach is that the practitioner will find the suitable "tool" at the given time in the process of therapy to guide the client to find his or her potential. Any other type of counselling adherent in the supervisee is a good tool, as long as the basic "essence of Gestalt" is respected which is staying:

• In the "Here and Now"
• Process focused and
• Aware.

The answer for everything lies in oneself.
