Abstract

Objectives This study aimed to explore the perception and experience of novice supervisors performing teaching functions in group supervision and to analyze their meaning.
 Methods The purposes of this study were four novice supervisors who conducted group supervision with graduate students majoring in counseling psychology at A University. Data were collected through in-depth interviews conducted from November 2021 to January 2022, as well as personal records and session reports, and analyzed using phenomenological research methods.
 Results The analysis resulted in three top-level components, namely “anxiety of novice supervisors,” “unconditional support and encouragement,” and “demand for counseling expertise,” along with six subcategories and twelve units of meaning.
 Conclusions This study aims to explore the perception and meaning of novice supervisors performing teaching functions in group supervision with novice supervisees. It is expected that this study will provide valuable insights for novice counselors to grow into experts in the counseling field through the two significant roles they experience in the process of becoming novice supervisors and novice supervisees.
