Clinical experience in counsellor education would not be possible without the kind support
of our site supervisors. Day-to-day guidance, advice, and real understanding given to undergraduate
students are essential in helping students develop and grow into competent counsellors during their
internships. Supervisors play different roles and styles during the supervision process. Thus, this study
aimed to assess student perceptions of counsellors' supervisory styles and examine what impact those
styles have on the satisfaction of undergraduate counselling interns. This study is quantitative, where a
total of 138 counselling interns were selected from four public universities in Malaysia. The results
showed that in the Malaysian backdrop, four supervisory styles have a major relationship with
supervisory satisfaction, and they are as follows: directive teacher, supportive teacher, counsellor, and
delegating colleague (consultant) styles respectively. This study has also filled the knowledge gap
existing in the realm of counselling supervisory styles. Furthermore, the newly modified instruments of
supervisory styles inventory may be applied to the undergraduate level interns. In practice, this helps
supervisors to enhance the supervision process. The undergraduate counselling interns mostly are
satisfied with supportive supervisory style. In this regard, supervisors or counsellor educators may find
the most functional and appropriate style that suits their interns.
