Working within a high volume LICBT mental health environment having higher patient caseloads alongside shorter contact durations compared with HICBT has the potential to place increased demands on the LICBT psychological therapy practitioner workforce (Richards, 2010b). To ensure safe and effective working with a high volume of patients ‘clinical case management’ supervision was developed for the LICBT practitioner working within the IAPT programme with clinical skills supervision focused on skills development (Chapter 9; Richards, 2010b). However, whilst both forms of supervision meet four of the purposes of supervision (Turpin and Wheeler, 2011), the fifth function associated with ‘Staff Support and the Prevention of Burn-Out’ may not be fully realised. Consequently, there may be a failure to support the practitioner to better maintain their own health and well-being or to address any emotional difficulties of their own unrelated to work.
