1-1 Mentoring & Supervision
1-1 Mentoring & 1-1 Supervision
In a relational approach, feelings, emotions and affect are central to supporting a child's development. In this fundamental paradigm shift from traditional behavioural approaches, an individual reflective exchange through 1-1 mentoring or 1-1 supervision is often helpful to become aware of our clients' own (unconscious) feelings as well as emotional intentions and blockages and to be able to respond appropriately to each individual situation.
1-1 Mentoring/supervision is for you when you
want to discuss a particular child, video, topic or problem in detail

The missing piece of the puzzle
"The detailed video analyses helped me like nothing else to find the missing piece of the puzzle and to understand what is really happening - on the emotional level in the child itself, to see how I could react even more appropriately and use my voice to reach and nurture the child.“
Friedel Bauer, educator at an autism centre

The way to the goal„
“The DIRFloortime method really helped me to meet each child exactly where they are developmentally and to join them on their own personal journey. Focussing more on the relationship with the child and what motivates him, rather than on training or teaching him a fixed curriculum, has fundamentally changed my way of working. Now I am focussing so much more on interaction than on behaviour.”
Barbara Cidej, Special Needs Teacher
"Individual support„
"The one-to-one mentoring from Sibylle has really helped me to move to the next level in my own Floortime practice and break free from my own ingrained patterns and focus on behaviour change in my institution."
