RESEARCH – Burnout in counsellors and psychotherapists from the perspective of psychotherapy supervisors in Ireland.

As on 02/10/22 are you a practicing accredited supervisor in psychotherapy in Ireland with at least three years providing supervision?

You are invited to participate in a research study, undertaken as part of an MSc in Psychotherapy, Dublin City University.

The purpose of the study is to explore the experiences of practicing psychotherapist supervisors surrounding the area of burnout in their supervisee therapists in Ireland. If you have an interest in this area or have experience of this with supervisees you may wish to participate in this study. This study will be an exploratory, in-depth study of the experiences of supervisors dealing with burnout in supervisee therapists and trainee therapists. Participants will be required to partake in a semi-structured interview lasting approximately one hour on the subject of burnout. You will be asked to meet with the researcher for a one hour face to face interview. However the option to use zoom for interviews if this is more suitable is available. DCU protocol will be followed with regard to the use of zoom.

If you are interested in taking part in this study, or have any questions about what is involved, please contact me.
