The purpose of this paper is to explore the experience of using technology (telephone, asynchronous email, Skype) for counselling supervision at a distance. Different styles of communication are required and some surprising changes in practice emerge in this dialogical study which takes place in Aotearoa New Zealand. Reference is made to the international literature on online therapy, reflective practice and supervision. One of the findings is that clear contractual expectations are essential, a working agreement which can be flexible enough to accommodate distance practices. Finally, we evaluate the benefits and challenges of using technology for the purposes of professional supervision. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
