Question

Kathleen is a senior counsellor within a government organisation who, by default of her seniority,
regularly supervises junior counselling staff. One of her supervisees, Tamara, has been a staff member
for 18 months, and has a good reputation in the organisation. In fact, Kathleen has noticed that other
counselling staff are beginning to informally consult Tamara on issues concerning them about their
clients, instead of Kathleen. Tamara has never received any supervision training, and as part of her

other counselling staff are consulting Tamara with.
