Reigniting Clinical Supervision
Taking Clinical Supervisors and Psychotherapists to Next Level of Real Development
Watch Promo Enroll in Course
Nothing matters more than seeing that you have created a real positive impact on another person.
If you are a clinical supervisor, you are in a powerful position to influence two groups of people:
1. Your Supervisees (Therapists), and
2. Clients.
Not only are you able to help your supervisees work through difficult and challenging cases, you are also a conduit to therapists' professional development.
Except that traditional clinical supervision has NOT improved client outcomes, and has not shown to actually help therapist improve in their work, despite self-reports of benefit from exchanges in traditional clinical supervision.
The Troubles We Find Ourselves In
Early Failures
I nearly dropped out of school.

Learning at Your Own Pace
Our education system has conflated learning speed with learning ability, even though there is NO CORRELATION between these two factors (this is why the upcoming RCS course is designed to suit EVERYONE's preferred learning pace in a "drip by drip fashion, one idea at a time).
I couldn't conform to what an average student needs to be in order to succeed in an
Training in Psychotherapy
In my training as a psychotherapist, I received a wide array of guidance from different clinical supervisors. Some of them changed my life (For more about this, click here), others—frankly, I nearly got in trouble with, because of my dissatisfaction with a dogmatic focus on models and not actual outcomes.
Even with supervisors that were really good, most of them didn't provide a necessary
Meanwhile, our traditional teachings approach in post-graduate courses at large continue to bark up the wrong tree, obsessed with standardisation—the way Edward Thorndike took Frederick Taylor’s idea of
My Commitment
Here's my promise to you.
1. This course is for people who believe that...
Our status quo approach in clinical supervision does not consistently translate to better outcomes for clients, and it doesn't help therapist improvement over time. I believe that we can fix that. We need to reimagine the practice clinical supervision in order to yield actual improvement.
In this course, based on the central idea of the distinction between coaching for performanceand coaching for development, I will walk you through a blueprint for the road ahead. (See this Visual Guidefor the course)
2. I will focus on people who want to...
Not only help therapists get good results, but also for them to improve over time, and ultimately, for clients who seek help to get the best healing experience possible.
3. Engaging with the RCS course will help you...
become a game-changer in clinical supervision.
When I first began to supervise therapists, I make a few promises to myself:
1. TO BE CRITICAL WITHOUT CRITICISING;
2. TO BE SUPPORTIVE WITHOUT BEING PATRONISING;
3. TO STAY FOCUSED ON TRANSLATING TO BETTER OUTCOMES.
It was only later on that I added another pledge to my existing list:
4. TO HELP PRACTITIONERS DEVELOP AN INDIVIDUALISED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN (Chow, 2017; Miller, Hubble, & Chow, 2017).
I began to work with supervisees who were beginning to share with me their stories of their past supervision experience. With the best of intentions, some supervisors were very supportive but were going in circles, others were critical and hurt them unknowingly.
Point #4 was crucial and particularly lacking. It only began to dawn on me in 2010 when I began my 4-year-long meditation on the implications of deliberate practice in psychotherapy for my doctoral piece (Chow, 2014).
It dawned on me that once a supervisee has a clear direction of WHAT to work on, that is, figure out the What before the How, the consequence is often better outcomes. (Do you notice how our profession is invested with our pet solutions, and less invested in solving the problem?) Plus, their clinical outcomes affirms their sense of real development, which in turn fuel the self-determination spark to get even better.
In other words, I want to not only help therapists with their challenging cases, I want to help therapist grow by becoming better therapists. If they design a

Clinical supervision is often regarded as the highly integral to professional development. It is the “signature pedagogy” of choice in the field of psychotherapy.
Yet, recent evidence suggest that traditional supervision makes little or no impact on actual client outcomes (Rousmaniere, Swift, Babins-Wagner, Whipple, & Berzins, 2014). With all the expense on time, money, and effort, therapists and supervisors work so hard, but fail to translate this in the therapy room. This individualised course that can be taken at your own pace, is geared towards helping practitioners and supervisors reap actual benefits in a method of working in supervision.
Gleaning from the development of expertise in other professional domains, this course is for those who are hungry to make an impact.
I will walk you through a step-by-step guide to assist supervisors and therapists in making a real impact on psychotherapists development, and more importantly, helping their clients reap the rewards.
Clinical Supervision should look less like this...

Don't take it from me. Here's what therapists across the world are asking about their professional development:
(Note: these are actual questions discerning therapists raised in my workshops)
“Are we choosing the right areas to focus on growth in professional development?”
“Are our PD activities actually translating to improvement in our practice?”
“What should we actually focus on developing in order to actually improve?”
“What does “improving” mean?”
“Why is professional development activities (workshops, supervision, etc) not helping therapists improve?”
“If psychotherapist value and invest in PD, why is there NO improvement?”
“Does theoretical knowledge improve clinical practice?”
“Why do we continue to value efficiency over mastery?”
And here's the kicker:
“Why are we not improving?”
These questions are highly relevant. Not only do we answer the Whys, but in the Reigniting Clinical Supervision course, we will also spell out the What to work on to leverage improvement, and the How to go about doing so in a practical step-by-step guide.
To view the entire course curriculum, take a look at the Reigniting Clinical Supervision (RCS) Roadmap:
If you are need a better way to visualize, here's an Infographic depicting the journey ahead:
You shouldn't always trust just one source of information. Besides, I'm biased.
Here's what leading practitioners, trainers, and supervisors from different countries have to say about Reigniting Clinical Supervision:
"This has been by far the best course I have attended to help improve my skills as a therapist and a supervisor.
The journey was not always easy, as it required reflecting upon my own practices. Having said that the format, the structure and delivery of the course as well as ongoing easy access to the course has made it so much fun and easy to follow."
~ Nazihah Niazi, MA,
RP Director of Clinical Operations, The Mindfulness Clinic, Canada
~~~
"Reigniting Clinical Supervision certainly delivers what it promises - a very welcomed spark that engages and motivates you further in your path towards professional development.
The course has helped me in a fascinating way. It has help me both see the bigger picture and at the same time become aware of the small parts of the process that leads to the big picture. This highly self-reflective and self-transforming drip-by-drip way of learning has provided me with continuous insights and an eagerness to transform my learnings straightaway into useable actions.
The powerful visualizations used in this course has tapped into my creativeness and a lot of new, unexpected ideas have emerged through that.
In our field there is so much you can improve, but the course has helped to narrow the focus down to the things that really matter to clients. The video material allows you to go back, rewind and refine your learnings and customize them in to different settings.
Daryl has a very welcoming, generous and personalized style as an instructor and provides you with motivating and thought awakening comments throughout the course. Daryl’s way of combining ideas and theories across different fields is brilliant and very inspiring.
I highly recommend the course to anyone interested and invested in professional development as a supervisor or self-supervision."
~ Heidi Nygård-Michelsson
Project manager (for implementation of FIT) and ICCE Certified FIT trainer
Crisis Counsellor at Crisis Center for Youth, HelsinkiMissio

"While I was quite familiar with many of the underlying ideas and the research base that underlie Daryl’s course, having done the FIT intensive with him and Scott Miller 18 months ago in Chicago, I was quite surprised that almost every session seemed to present an ahaa moment where I realised there was something new that I needed to focus on or remind myself.
... I especially liked the drip feed nature of the delivery. This let me grab as much new information as I wanted at any point in time, reflect on and consider that and ask questions or discuss when that seemed useful, before moving on to another chunk of information and ideas.
... An almost perfect balance amongst presentation of the research basis, the conceptual big picture ideas and the more micro,hands on, how to do it elements; and it provided something that I could apply, not only in my supervision practice but also in my work with clients and my teaching and mentoring of clinical students.
I highly recommend the course to all counsellors, therapists, supervisors and managers in the behavioural health arena.
~ Brent Gardiner,
Programme Leader, Master of Counselling Studies, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand.
~~~
"No matter where you are in your journey as a therapist or supervisor, I found the online course Reigniting Clinical Supervision to be extraordinarily helpful.
It is full of practical and thought provoking approaches brought forward in a measured way to improve a therapist's overall performance.
The course has improved my self-awareness
in a number of areas where I can grow as well as a plan for this future growth.
As there is so much useful and timeless information I will be revisiting Reigniting Supervision time and time again."
~ Bob Beckwith, Registered Psychotherapist, Canada.
~~~
"Reigniting Clinical Supervision is an insightful combination of self-reflection, use of Feedback-Informed Treatment concepts, and supervisory tools that have impacted the way I provide supervision and direct counseling services.
While some of the content is a repeat from what I already knew of FIT, the RCS course shed light on the self of the therapist and the challenge of deliberate practice. I appreciated the drip format and interactions with other participants. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wishes to have improved supervisee and client outcomes through enhanced delivery of services."
~ Thea Vondracek, MA, LMFT, LPCS, Certified FIT Trainer.

"Tools for improving our practice handed to us on a plate: I’m really enjoying and appreciating Daryl’s reigniting supervision course. His approach is friendly, clear, open and inviting. I’ve grown to look forward to his email in my inbox each Monday and Friday, not just for the content, but for the warmth Daryl brings to my day.
The drip feed process is really great, as I find there’s time to digest, and the small amount of content means it’s easy to fit into everyday life. Daryl’s explanations are very clear. He uses the research succinctly with lovely metaphors, making a clear case for what he's teaching. Although I was already using feedback informed therapy, the review was great. The taxonomy of deliberate practice is a fabulous piece of work, and the guidance on the best way to use it is priceless.
This is a great course as Daryl has the ability to make things clear and simple, as well as practical and relevant. It’s helped me get clear in my mind about effective and realistic ways to keep monitoring and improving my practice and client outcomes.
It’s saved hours of my own research in this area, meaning I've been able to get straight into identifying the areas of my practice to work on that will make the biggest difference to client outcomes, as well as my enjoyment in my work. It's really great knowing that I'll be using my precious time in the wisest way I can! This is a highly cost-effective course, and Daryl's sincerity and natural personal style makes it a real pleasure to be part of.
~ Dr. Jeanette Spencer, medical practitioner, New Zealand.
~~~
"I really liked learning more about general theories of coaching. I also really liked the specific tools like the taxonomy of deliberate practice and the session impact grid. ..This course really made me think about what clinical supervision - something that we routinely do without asking too many questions in my profession- can be and how to link it directly to better outcomes for clients."
~ Dr Sika Turner,
Clinical Psychologist, Australia.
~~~
"Having it presented in small bites was the most useful aspect. This helped me to reflect on the content and integrate it much better than if it would have been presented in bigger chunks.
I can highly recommend this training course. I really liked that this course encouraged me to re-think my clinical practice in general and manly things I have learned will be useful in many different aspects of my work as a clinical, clinic manager and supervisor. It also helped me understand much better how I need to structure my ongoing learning to then actually use what I have learned to improve my work as a therapist. I also believe the contents of this course will help me be a better supervisor.
~Dr. Christina Reynolds,
Clinical Psychologist, Australia.
~~~
"Course design...Daryl conveyed his knowledge in an inspiring way. ... I am very satisfied. I can really recommend this course, at the same time as a warning finger. You will need to rethink how you look at your work and if you want to become a better therapist, hard work is required.
At the same time, opportunities are opened! Go for it!"
~ Bengt Göran Linberg,
Familjerådgivare, leg. Psykoterapeut, Sweden.
~~~
"So much practical information. Thinking about how to identify areas of development. The taxonomy of deliberate practice has provided me with a method thinking about the work that I do and greater insight as to where my strengths and weaknesses are.
I found (the) use of metaphors and stories to be very helpful. The resources provided have also been of great use. Overall, I think the course was excellent.
~ Dr. Peter Gaitanis,
Psychologist, Complex Care, and
Monash Health Community, Australia.
~~~
"I appreciated how the content was broken up into small bite size pieces. The best part of the course, in my opinion, was the content itself. I learned so much and know that I will be going back to review many of the lessons.
Reigniting Clinical Supervision gave me so many useful tools both in terms of my development as a clinician and as a clinical supervisor. It helped me to break down deliberate practice and professional development into small, bite-sized pieces that made embarking on a shift in practice seem more manageable and achievable."
~Anita Harder MC, RPsych
Manager, Healthy Relationships, Canada.
~~~
"The wealth of information brought from other sources, many from outside the field of psychology. I was pretty motivated to get through the course because the content was engaging and so it was hard to wait so long for the next module sometimes.
This course was a game changer. Our agency recently implemented FIT and I received information on how to apply FIT from the sense of a clinical supervisor, not just a counselor.
Daryl gives lots of examples to make sure each new piece of information is understood and I just felt like I got it. Would highly recommend this course to anyone in a supervisor position."
~Jared Bingham LCPC, MAC, USA.
~~~
"I would recommend this online course for supervisors, experienced and new. Great ideas for implementing FIT and deliberate practice ideas into your own practice as a therapist as well as a supervisor.
The online format created an environment where it kept me thinking about the ideas over a period of months."
~ Anita Mcgregor, Supervisor/Forensic Psychologist, Forensic Psychology Clinic,
EF Senior Lecturer, University of New South Wales.
~~~
"The course has stretched me because I had nowhere to hide from the information. Because it was 'drip fed' I was able to try the different aspects of the course out and not able to simply tick off or move on. I have found the course has improved my self realisation and ability to work better with clients. Thanks Daryl."
~ Jodie Chambers
~~~
"This is a fantastic course that will get each supevisor to rethink how they are engaging in clinical supervision. It turns our traditional approach to supervision on its head. It provides an approach that is more engaging and beneficial for clinical development and improved client outcomes. Thanks so much Daryl."
~ Steve Carroll, psychologist, Better Outcomes Psychology, Australia.
~~~
"I loved the drip method and Daryl brilliant way of presenting information in a way that creates curiosity and openness. I am looking forward to going through the course again and again."
~ Wade Belt, MC, CCC , Practice Advisor, Canada.
~~~
"I really appreciated taking the Reigniting Clinical Supervision course. I work in a training clinic with beginning therapists. This course gave me unique and innovative ideas in how to help my trainees focus on the most effective aspects of therapy. This is a challenge when they are being inundated with teachings in model/intervention in their graduate education. This course helped me provide them with practical steps to help combat the ideas that they "must do something" as translated to model/intervention. Instead we could focus on what has the biggest leverage on change. The course also helps with "self supervision" and I have not only improved in my focus as a supervisor but have also applied the information to my own practice. I highly recommend"
~ Todd Disney,
~~~
"This was a wonderfully engaging course. What stands out for me is the clear roadmap for making supervision come alive. It provided both a macro & a micro view of what comprises effective supervision. Overall it demonstrated that we must learn to train, supervise & develop therapists using tailor-made Deliberate Practice (DP) activities based on their Routine Outcome Monitoring (ROM), using lead measures based on clients' feedback & continually adjusting our approach (using conditional knowledge) one client & one supervisee at a time.
