Abstract

This explores the possibilities of using technology to support counselling supervision in Africa, with a focus on Kenya, where the cost, both in time as well as financially, can mean that it is not accessed as regularly as it perhaps should be. The purpose and nature of counselling supervision is examined, and the challenges that therapists face in accessing it are reported. Through an evaluation of the literature relating to the effectiveness of technology in supporting counselling supervision, drawing on the authors own experience of telephone supervision and the views of practising counsellors and play therapists, recommendations are made regarding its use.
