  • 0–15 | Early Development / Orientation Phase

    Description you can use:

    The trainee is in the early stages of clinical development, with emerging awareness of systemic thinking, clinical skills, and professional identity. Supervision will focus on foundational knowledge, structure, modeling, and support.
    Typical characteristics:

    Limited confidence
    High reliance on supervisor
    Learning basic structure and roles
    Appropriate for brand-new trainees

    __________________________________________________________________

    16–30 | Developing Foundations
    The trainee is beginning to integrate theory with practice and demonstrates growing awareness of clinical processes. Skills are developing but remain inconsistent. Supervision will emphasize skill-building, feedback, and increasing intentionality.
    Typical characteristics:

    Can describe concepts but struggles to apply consistently
    Benefits from coaching, role-plays, and structure
    Confidence fluctuates (very normal)

    __________________________________________________________________

    31–45 | Emerging Competence

    Typical characteristics:

    More intentional interventions
    Better use of supervision
    Beginning to self-correct
    Increased comfort with complexity

    __________________________________________________________________

    46–60 | Advanced Development / Integration Phase
    The trainee demonstrates strong integration of theory, clinical skills, and self-awareness. Clinical work is generally intentional and reflective. Supervision will focus on advanced case consultation, professional growth, and preparation for increased autonomy.
    Typical characteristics:

    Clear therapist identity
