Counselor and Supervisor Development Models

- A "Master Counselor" level involves high self-awareness and competence across various domains.

Supervisor Development Model

- Level 1: Highly anxious, relying on structure and past experiences.
- Level 2: Conflicted, fluctuating motivation & affectivity. Autonomy with lapses into dependency.
- Level 3: Consistent motivation, autonomous, and comfortable. Self-appraisal and colleague consultation.
- Level 3i: "Master Supervisor" level, highly skilled & integrated.
