Supervision as Spiritual Practice: What's love got to do with it?
Presentation by Robin Shohet
Monday 26th January 2026: 12.00pm - 1.15pm
Robin Shohet has been supervising for over 40 years. He views supervision as spiritual practice, combining an inquiry into love and fear, exploring core beliefs, developing awareness and using appreciative inquiry.
He is the author and editor of several books on supervision in counselling and other health and social care settings. His latest book 'In Love with Supervision. Creating Transformative Conversations', co-written with Joan Wilmot, records their work together since the late 1970’s.
The presentation will be followed by questions and a group discussion.
Welcoming all INSS members to this SIG focussing upon spirituality, mental health and wellbeing across diverse contexts, including in relation to study, research and practice.
The group emphasises co-creating a safe yet focussed space to reflect, explore and share skills and inspiration together.
The SIG Chairs: Dr Katja Milner, Dr Jill Buckeldee

This Spirituality and Education Special Interest Group welcomes people to explore the interplay of spirituality and education. Our interests are diverse — from across the life course in educational and professional contexts, voluntary organizations and community settings.
We are continuing to build upon our revised format of a twenty-minute presentation and dialogue. This provides opportunities for us to learn more about the interplay of spirituality and education across diverse settings. Please see below for further details about our forthcoming presenter and their presentation.
William Bloom will present an overview of the National Schools' Spiritual Wellbeing project currently being undertaken by the educational charity, the Spiritual Companions Trust, which he leads. This work is founded on the Diploma in Spiritual Coaching & Caregiving (CFI L3), which is the only UK qualification of its kind on the Ofqal Register. William is the author of many books including ’The Power of Modern Spirituality.’ His doctoral research into identity politics was conducted at the London School of Economics where he taught and was published by Cambridge University Press. His background also includes two years spiritual retreat in the High Atlas Mountains of southern Morocco. He is an advocate of a person-centred approach to spirituality.
