Seven-eyed model of supervision - Hawkins and Shohet

The double-matrix of the seven-eyed supervisor model.
At a minimum all supervision situations involve at least four elements:

• a supervisor
• a supervisee
• a client
• a work context

The supervision process involves 2 interlocking systems or matrices: 

• The client / supervisee matrix
• The supervisee / supervisor matrix

Seven focus points:

1. Focus on the client and what and how they present.
2. Exploration of the strategies and interventions used by the supervisee.
3. Exploration of the relationship between the client and the supervisee.
4. Focus on the supervisee.
5. Focus on the supervisory relationship.
6. The supervisor focussing on their own process.
7. Focus on the wider contexts in which the work happens.
