Micro Supervision

An impactful wellbeing and reflective practice offer for thoughtful education events.

Conference organisers who want to meaningfully support the connection between children, young people, and the educators who care for them can now enhance their programme with Talking Heads Supervision’s Micro Supervision Sessions.

These short, high-impact sessions provide delegates with a focused, psychologically safe space to think about their work, reflect on challenges, and explore how supervision can strengthen practice within their setting. They are consistently well-received and fully booked at the events we attend.

• Two highly skilled supervisors attending your conference to maximise availability across one or two days.
• Careful matching of delegates to the supervisor best suited to their role, context, or area of focus.
• Thoughtful planning to ensure colleagues from the same setting see different supervisors when appropriate, preserving boundaries in line-management structures.
• Professionally held, 30-minute taster sessions with a 10-minute buffer — structured, safe, and firmly within the scope of supervision (not counselling or coaching).

• A quiet, private space away from the main conference flow.
• A simple pre-booking system (in advance or on the day).

Delegates use the space in deeply purposeful ways:

• to think through live issues
• to explore systemic questions about supervision in their setting
• to reflect on safeguarding, emotional load, or work with children
• to gain clarity on how supervision could support them or their organisation

Our experience ensures each session is helpful, relevant, and safe, with clear signposting where appropriate.

Micro supervision sessions help conferences meet wellbeing, safeguarding, and professional development aims — offering delegates something truly reflective and personally valuable.

We can plan with you as much or as little as needed to ensure the offer aligns seamlessly with your event.
